Selection Sunday-NCAA tournament thread

2010. UNC

 

With Kentucky missing Nerlens Noel, that's not the snarky, rhetorical question you intended.

 

Missouri moves closer to tying BYU for "Most NCAA tournament appearances without a Final Four."

 

No because the top priority for making the tourney is automatic bid.
The at large bubble teams should be playing for the no 12 11 10 seeds ...

 

UT-Arlington also made the WAC final and lost by nine to New Mexico State.

 

My Wahoos didn't make the cut, and I'm fine with that. They had chances to seal up a bid and they didn't deliver. No one to blame but themselves. The only team that beat them out that shouldn't have was Middle Tennessee, who played no one. But no bubble team really has the right to bitch, least of all a team with losses as bad as UVa's.

 

This is one of those years where Wisconsin goes into the tournament on-high after a good Big Ten Tournament run. Bo Ryan reaping the accolades, etc.

And the Badgers are going to get beat by sub-40 basketball IQ Ole Miss. The Rebels are just wacky enough to crash the Badgers' computer.

 

I'm excited at the prospect of Bo Ryan going full-on Woody Hayes on Marshall Henderson at some point during the game.

 

More oddities: Two of the teams facing off in Dayton are 11 seeds, and the other two are 13 seeds.

 

After listening to Bob Knight explain how to prepare for the tournament I can't understand how he ever lost a game.

 

Kentucky playing at Robert Morris in the NIT. Awesome!

 

What?

That's Cal's old stomping ground.
