Selection Sunday thread

Six teams from the Pac-10 is good. Stanford is deserving.

On Stanford, if you win 10 games in this Pac-10, you deserve to get in. If I am Scott Sutton at Oral Roberts, I hate Seth Davis. Kellogg also ignored the Cougs in talking about the strength of the west. Wazzu is going to be locked in on defense.
 
I think I'm going to cry.

They get down to the last two pods, and I'm thinking awesome. 'Cuse will play on a Thursday and Saturday, two days I have off.

I'm going to cry. I can't forking believe this. forking 5 seed in the Big East.
 
Midmajors down to six at-large bids...their lowest since 2003 and two less than last year, when George Mason made the Final Four.

The Baskets making the Final Four was the worst thing that could have happened to mid-majors at-large hopes. Now the committee will go even further out of its way to make sure no one crashes the party.
 
Syracuse got screwed, so did Drexel.
I was surprised to see Stanford get in - and I feel bad for Florida State and Al Thornton, a great player who won't get a shot at an NCAA Tournament.
Not a good year for mid-majors, with Drexel and Missouri State getting snubbed (Missouri State for the second straight year, even with a win over Wisconsin).
And how about Clemson, from 17-0, the last D-I unbeaten, to out without that being much of a surprise.
First ACC team with 20 regular-season wins since the field went to 64 teams to miss the Big Dance.

Nice, the commentators are already picking Wazzu to lose to Oral Roberts. I also love how they say no one has really seen Vandy this year and they could surprise some people. Couldn't you say the same thing about Wazzu?

Typical East Coast cranialis rectalis bullship.


As anyone who has seen them play can attest, this is a team nobody wants any part of early on. Wazzou will breeze into the Sweet 16.
 
At least Nevada got a 7. It's still high, but it's not ridiculous. Nevada gets to play the other fraud: Memphis.

Illinois didn't deserve in. That's the big whiff.

Drexel finished fourth in the CAA. Oh well.
