NCAA HOOPS THREAD! -- K petitions to get Maui Jim Maui Invitational moved to Transylvania (2 Viewers)

Embarassing here

 

[Don't Noonan]

Someone explain Arizona St over Southern Cal.  Didn't USC finish several spots higher in the Pac 12 and make it to the final?  

Please send Syracuse to the First 4 in Dayton.  Just to give Boeheim something to cry about.

Maybe they are trying to punish the cheating schools?  Louisville out too.

 

[JAA]

Wait so Baylor didn’t make it? I thought they were in for sure. OU over Baylor and Ok State is laughable 

But but but the Trae Young narrative???

Va with a walk in the park.

 

[Bonzai]

Hate getting Arizona there.

West Virginia and Wichita in round 2 is a load. Wow 

 

[Capella]

WOOOOOOOOOT

Excited for the first four. Sad times. 

 

[TripItUp]

West Virginia and Wichita in round 2 is a load. Wow 

I’ll take AZ Kentucky as most ridiculous 2nd round game

pac12 and SEC champ

 

[JAA]

West Virginia and Wichita in round 2 is a load. Wow 

Texas Tech is the much better lower section of the bracket.  I’m surprised by that, but WVU played SFA 2 years ago. I’d rather see TT as 4 and shockers as 5, what oh well. 3 seed looks t be money here.

Best explanation is asu beat them in their head to head and doesn’t have as impressive tier1 wins

 

[JAA]

I like the format here but the execution is horrific. 

 

[JAA]

How about the potential matchup of wvu Marshall?  :hide:

 

[JAA]

Duke vs OU - OMG the world will end!!

 

[JAA]

Xavier has to travel to Nashville, lol

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

WVU is a tough 5.  Could have been a 3.  Kentucky a tough 5 too.   The West is the easiest region.

 

[JAA]

CBS is butchering this broadcast.

Duke vs OU - OMG the world will end!!

Rhode Island is going to lay the smack down on OU and then they are going to take down Satan in the second.

 

[JAA]

The audience looks like TBS staffers handed random university paraphernalia. Where did they find these clowns?

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Rhode Island is going to lay the smack down on OU and then they are going to take down Satan in the second.

Time to shine, Rams.

 

[phandango]

Instead of playing in San Diego, the Pac-12 winner is going to Boise. WTF?

 

[Shutout]

Kentucky as a 5 seed is acceptable but seems to really diminish these conference tournaments. Shipping Kentucky and Arizona so far out their natural areas of play while leaving North carolina in their back yard for what seems like the 10th year in a row screams bias and greed.  We all know the AZ and Kentucky fans will travel to Alaska if need be, but its unfair to the teams like this that get shipped while others ALWAYS get to stay in their own bed pretty much.

WVU is a tough 5.  Could have been a 3.  Kentucky a tough 5 too.   The West is the easiest region.

UK only a 5. The bull#### never ends with the selection committee. 

 

[parasaurolophus]

Alphabetical? Wtf. Talk about killing suspense. 

 

[Don't Noonan]

UK only a 5. The bull#### never ends with the selection committee. 

And likely an underdog in round 2, tough draw

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Yep.  If they beat Arizona though they get UVA in Atlanta so that's good for them getting their fans there

 

[Shutout]

pac12 and SEC champ

no doubt.  But I guess they have to stack the nonsense somewhere in order to plow the road to the final 4 for the Dukes, UNC, Nova teams they all love so much. 

 

[Scoresman]

Here's the efficiency vs. seed curve.

Not as crazy a curve as years past. 

Essentially, the overseeded teams are Kansas, Xavier, Miami, Rhode Island.  Underseeded teams include Gonzaga and Butler.  

 

[Thomas The Skank Engine]

Xavier has to travel to Nashville, lol

only a 4 hr drive

 

[TripItUp]

And likely an underdog in round 2, tough draw

I'm guessing AZ -4

 

[flapgreen]

You know it. The Ncaa has been trying to force Duke to win another one every year. 

 

[ChiefD]

Kansas not getting out of the second round

Grayson Allen gets more ESPN coverage than most NBA allstars.

Kansas not getting out of the second round

NC State is very legit.

 

[NREC34]

West Virginia and Wichita in round 2 is a load. Wow 

That’s awesome you know who’s going to win already!

West Virginia lost to some no name team not long ago. They suck. 

 

[JAA]

I don’t like this Murray State matchup. This Johnathan Stark guard is a strong player and knows how to score. In addition Murray State is an excellent 3point shooting team. Not a good matchup for WVU. 

 

[JAA]

only a 4 hr drive

Wow. Surprised 

 

[JAA]

That’s awesome you know who’s going to win already!

West Virginia lost to some no name team not long ago. They suck. 

Ohhh. Tell me more ... ?? Which team is this?

 

[Capella]

Sure they do 

 

[5Rings]

Hate the 4 seed for my Zags but love the prospect of playing 1 Xavier and then a rematch with 2 UNC.  If, you know, we get lucky enough to get there...

 

[NREC34]

Ohhh. Tell me more ... ?? Which team is this?

Don’t remember. 

I would have google wvu lost to no name team first round ncaa. And I don’t feel like it. It was maybe 2-3 years ago. 

 

[TripItUp]

Play-in game lines look juicy

UCLA -3 vs. St. Bonaventure - I like UCLA here

Syracuse -1 vs. ASU - love Syracuse here as the struggling Sun Devils travel East on short notice.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Kansas not getting out of the second round

I think they will get to the regional finals.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

NC State is very legit.

99th defense in KenPom.  Pass.

 

[NutterButter]

This is funny

 

[TripItUp]

They won at UNC...they won't be favored, but they won't be intimidated either.

 

[TripItUp]

This is funny

That's really awesome...Bobby wears everything on his sleeve and can really coach.  Happy for ASU.
