GYERO ARCHIVE

[_Chase_]

Bottom line is that if we aren't a clear 1 seed, the committee is going to find a way to f*ck us over. It's not a theory, it's an absolute fact based on ALL past results since Cal has been here.

 

[numberonedad]

Cal is coming on, on the ESPN bracketology show

 

[_Chase_]

With that said, Indiana is f*cked and UNC is very nervous.

 

[roguemocha]

I'm drawing a blank, when do the actual game times come out?

 

[UKRob 73]

You have the winner of the big 10, the ACC and the SEC all in the top half of a regional. ********

 

[MrKentucky]

I'm drawing a blank, when do the actual game times come out?

They'll leak out within the next hour or so.

 

[catholic_back]

Will be at an interview at Duke this Thursday and Friday. What terrible timing. I hate myself.

 

[UKwizard]

It is uncanny how this played out almost exactly like the 2011 selection Sunday.

 

[assistbyhawkins]

(Waiting for ABH to stop in and tell us there's nothing wrong with a 4-seed and we're a bunch of pussies.)

Nope, this is a complete load of ****. I hope Cal sits our entire starting 5 next year in the conference tourney, f&*k TV and all that ****. And f*^k the fans, too. The tourneys obviously mean nothing, so why bother playing. Absolutely awful.

Utah got beat by 30 in their conference tourney, has 6 double-digit losses and got the 3 over us. Not to mention A&M. Sickening.

 

[VernHatton52]

Even when we're a 1 seed, we still get screwed. We always have the toughest road. This year just doesn't make sense. Castiglione just said they took into account Wichita's injuries. What about ours? And how in the hell is A&M above us? It's beyond comprehension.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Hate mail can be sent to committee chairman here: @soonerad

 

[_Chase_]

Vitale predicting us to the Final Four. Pretty big surprise giving his affinity for Tobacco Road.

 

[_Chase_]

[laughing] at Cal. Love that guy.

 

[BBdK]

As much as it sucks playing IU, the other 5s are Maryland, Purdue, and Baylor.

Lol

 

[numberonedad]

Doug Gottlieb picked us to win the championship :scream:

 

[catholic_back]

Dear Lord I love this man.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

All time rant. Epic.

 

[ukcats2008_rivals103438]

Had a story on our site, ready to make live as soon as it was revealed, about getting a three seed. When Nova didn't get the two in East and clearly wasn't 5/6 on the seed line, the consensus here* was UK would get the other two.

I have zero idea why I'm surprised by this year after year.


*Four of the six people watching at X attended UK so probably biased a bit.

 

[BristolCat_rivals158386]

That was Cal's "Hit 'em Up" on the NCAA.

As soon as I heard that they're not gonna steal his joy I knew he was about to body some folks.

 

[VernHatton52]

Cal killed that! He's pissed and ready. Good!

 

[kybobcat_rivals185207]

So to get to the Final Four, UK has to potentially beat the Cinderella of the tournament, a hated rival, another hated rival, and a team coached by a guy who knows Cal's tendencies inside and out.

That about right?

 

[_Chase_]

Jerry Palm needs a haircut and a tailor. Guy looks like a child molester.

 

[wcc31]

UK is ahead of A&M significantly in RPI, BPI, Sagari. and KenPom. lol

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Bottom line is that if we aren't a clear 1 seed, the committee is going to find a way to f*ck us over.

Committee *ucked us in 2010 and last year too. Marcus throw 2012 in there as well.

 

[_Chase_]

Quite right, 73.

 

[BristolCat_rivals158386]

Add Seth Greenberg and Kara Lawson to those picking us to the Final Four. Wow. We're definitely the "it" team right now.

 

[kramer318]

UK is ahead of A&M significantly in RPI, BPI, Sagari. and KenPom. lol

Better SOS as well. I'm having a hard time trying to find what metric the committee used to vote them ahead of us... I guess winning on their floor from a BS ref call sealed the deal.

 

[anthonys735]

Matchup wise, and I may get killed for this, UNC and IU is not bad for us. Neither are physical or play d. Our bigs give us anything and we can play with UNC. Agree with BBDK. We certainly won't be looking past the 2nd Rd at the UNC game.

F*ck it. LEGGO.

Top 50 RPI wins?

This is true, but both teams are playing good ball.

There is no "metric".

They keep the parameters intentionally vague so they can justify whatever decisions they make.

Duke, as in every year, has the easiest path they could get, considering their record.

And Cal and Huggy are both in the same bracket, as in almost every year.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Having a reeeaaaallllll hard time justifying Duke's seeding. At least TAMU beat us once and made it to their conference final. I mean their seeding is BS too but Duke?

 

[JamesIII]

Can't believe Coach Cal has a TV above his fireplace:

 

[catholic_back]

So someone taking care of the GYERO bracket again?

 

[wildcat1973_rivals160373]

Duke has a Plumlee. And Coach K.

Duh?

 

[anthonys735]

This is true, but both teams are playing good ball.

We're playing pretty well too. All three got pretty well screwed. Kansas got a brutal region as well. East and South are so much tougher.

 

[anthonys735]

So someone taking care of the GYERO bracket again?

Yep. For bike to beat cancer. It'll be up soon.

 

[legalbeagle123]

UNC worries me simply because of their length and, in particular, Johnson and Jackson. Lee and Skal would start the game with one foul each.

 

[B Rax_rivals210137]

Can't believe Coach Cal has a TV above his fireplace:

I'd love to hear cal smack Joey around :boxing:

 

[_Chase_]

LSU not accepting any postseason tourney bids since they didn't make the tournament. They gotta fire Jones don't they? If they give even the slightest **** about basketball.
