[BulldogBlitz]

Woof.

BREAKING: Mississippi State is headed to Charlotte as an 8 seed against Izzo. Winner gets UNC.

 

[onewoof]

I like that matchup

 

[BulldogBlitz]

At least this is a layup for the espn graphics folks.

 

[leeinator]

Tommy Izzo & Co. !!!

 

[bully12]

Eight seed against #9 Michigan State in Charlotte!!

 

[DawgInThe256]

MSU vs MSU
&tate vs &tate

 

[Perd Hapley]

Winner gets UNC.

And sole legal claim to the &tate logo.

 

[POTUS]

Being and 8 seed, we'll wear white. So no worries about the uniform

 

[snoopdog]

All we have to do to get to Final Four is beat, Michigan State, North Carolina, Alabama and Arizona lol

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Anyone got tix yet?

 

[Statebully]

We should wear all gray with State script

 

[8dog]

Being and 8 seed, we'll wear white. So no worries about the uniform

Hopefully grey. Need that sweet sweet uni on the national stage

 

[leeinator]

Dang! Long Beach State's coach and the university agreed to part ways before their conference tourney........and they end up winning it!! Guess the team thought they would send their coach off with a bang!

 

[57stratdawg]

No Indiana State. That sucks.

 

[msu]

No Indiana State. That sucks.

That does suck....that does mean the NET calculation doesn't mean anything.

 

[Lowdog]

Western Kentucky in! Was Stans holding them back?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Which damn session are we. Surfing tix now and it's impossible to tell

 

[leeinator]

We should wear all gray with State script

Both teams should and the broadcast should be only in black and white.

 

[anon1758050382]

I like that matchup

I like it at first glance. We like to force teams to shoot from outside. Michigan State makes 6.4 threes per game.

 

[TXDawg.sixpack]

Terrible draw to (potentially) have to face UNC in Charlotte…

 

[RockyDog]

Western Kentucky in! Was Stans holding them back?

Most certainly he was

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Bracket reactions….why in the holy hell is Virginia in there?

 

[GenDawg32]

Terrible draw to (potentially) have to face UNC in Charlotte…

They are a 1. It was always going to be geographically hard

 

[FlotownDawg]

That does suck....that does mean the NET calculation doesn't mean anything.

The NET calculation is only one of the tools the selection committee uses. Some of y’all act like they just go down the NET rankings list when picking teams. There are other metrics they use. Indiana State was 1-4 in Quad 1 games this year and had a Quad 4 loss. We also had a Quad 4 loss but had four Quad 1 wins. That’s why we’re in and they’re out.

 

[HRMSU]

Let's go! Jans rebuilding the program on the fly in the one of the toughest leagues....oh and don't forget all the portal/ nil BS!

 

[leeinator]

Hey, at least we got there.

 

[ckDOG]

Terrible draw to (potentially) have to face UNC in Charlotte…

They would still be my choice of #1 seeds though...

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Lemme also just say I'm penciling in MSU for the win Thursday

 

[Dawgzilla2]

Terrible draw to (potentially) have to face UNC in Charlotte…

Like I said in another thread, at least it's a draw.

 

[GenDawg32]

These CBS guys are so cringey.

 

[She Mate Me]

That does suck....that does mean the NET calculation doesn't mean anything.

That's a damn good thing, because just look at their resume. Zero truly impressive wins.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

They would still be my choice of #1 seeds though...

They were the weakest 1 seed.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Listing to the committee guy, It was NC or TN as the one or two seed.
We sent TN to the two.
That was my take.

 

[DoomSlayer]

I remember playing a one seed Duke when we were an 8 in the state of North Carolina and we fought our hearts out in that game only to come up a little short. Let’s do it this time.

 

[msudawg200]

Bracket reactions….why in the holy hell is Virginia in there?

ACC reputation (I know it was garbage this year - that’s why UVA didn’t deserve to be there).

 

[msudawg1200]

Bracket reactions….why in the holy hell is Virginia in there?

Also, committee didn't think much of the MWC. Sure, they got 6 teams in, but all are way under seeded according to Bracket Matrix, and the experts.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Virginia had five games this season where they scored fewer than 50 points in regulation. And they won two of those games! They are absolutely atrocious offensively and they can’t shoot free throws at all. They went 14-29 in the ACC Tournament from the foul line and they actually won a game earlier this season where they were 1-11 from the free throw line. I am shocked they made it in.
