Selection Sunday-NCAA tournament thread

Yup. New rule. No where close to play for "home" team in pod means you're not in.

So therefore Duke and Miami are out and UK is in and off the bubble on a little-known technicality.

C-A-T-S, Cats, Cats, Cats!

 

Duke will be thrilled to be in a pod that doesn't include North Carolina, which they've had to deal with three of the last four years.

 

Presuming Miami hangs on, do they get back on the 1 line?

 

Not a great year for the ACC, but their regular season and tournament champ ought to be a 1.

 

You'd think, but would they take Kansas and their titles first? Is this going to be the exceedingly rare instance where pedigree and name recognition hurts the ACC champ?

 

A couple of honest questions maybe someone can explain.....

What was the rationale for expanding the field beyond 64 teams?

Why is everything a week late this year?

 

So teams like VCU, which normally get snubbed, can make the Final Four.

 

Miami over Indiana? I would.

 

No. Opposite problem. Too many VCUs.

 

Ole Miss is in. Does that knock Kentucky out?

 

You remember VCU was a play-in team that season, right?
