OFFICIAL SELECTION SHOW DISCUSSION THREAD
- Thread starter bac2therac

I don't think Cuse should get in over St. Mary's and USC. I guess they got a lifetime achievement award this year. Glad ND didn't get in. People kept talking about the guys who were hurt, who cares? That's how seasons go.
RPI and record still better than Cuse. And OU's resume is shaky at best.
This is the worst Sunday Selection show in years. Between the delayed audio, live audience, and the time filler by announcing all the teams beforehand.
Awful.
Awful.
I realize they didn't have strong wins, but do you think Arizona St. was more deserving. I'm basing my decision on USC getting to the final of the PAC12 tournament.
In regards to live audience the Selection Show has finally jumped the shark, It's like watching Big Brother with their audience hooting.
Exactly. Bonzie (sp?) Colson was out. It's part of life. There were plenty of teams that lost top players. What is this tournament then? Nothing but a bias political gesture? Clemson lost their best player at the end. I didn't see the pundits support them, when they were playing great ball and should would have been a higher seed.
I'll be curious to see how the ACC does. The NCAA thought they were the best overall conference, because if Davidson had not won, they would have allowed ND in, which would have made 10 teams. They would have left Sadexcuse in there and included ND.
Yes. I think if Nebraska had gotten to the finals of the B1G, then I think we would have gotten 5 teams in.
I think its fair, Purdue may have been a smidgeon better than them based on some rpi metrics and they were pretty close this year although MSU won head to head. Could have gone either way
UCLA was another school light on quality wins...Ky, asu, az but was that it? They should just consider themselves lucky to get in
they needed to beat Purdue and not lose to Rider but yeah they need to beat A&M, they had nothing OOC to point to...the Big 10 better start scheduling tougher OOC
Agreed. But I still don't like that Duke gets the benefit. And I'm not talking about switching MSU with Duke. Duke I believe should have been a 3 and not in the same bracket as MSU. Just my opinion. (Sorry, this is my reply to you over my initial question).

We'd really have to get our act together if going 22-10, and 13-5 in the B1G, like Nebraska isn't good enough! Man, that is going to be an uphill battle.
Ill suggest it again. Nix the NIT and put those 32 in for 96. Give the top 32 byes. You're already playing these 2 extra play in days. If this is for National championship eliminate these bubble debates for these Power conf. And get more mids in.
Far less debate and chance for leaving out a potential winner down at 92 to 100.

What DOESN’T get ripped on Twitter? That’s like saying the sun rose in East this morning. That said, “Twitter” is right this time. Everything about it sucked but since It was TBS I guess I should’ve known.
There'd still be a bubble debate. Teams 97-110. Just like there were debates when there were 48 teams in the tournament, etc.
Even Maryland would be on that bubble this year (although the Terrapins did not make the NIT)...
