[RU MAN]

I think 28 but 78 or 83 non conference

Thanks. Then the 2 seed makes sense.

 

[bac2therac]

The Johnnies in trouble?

Yes...either them or ASU is out

 

[bac2therac]

Thanks. Then the 2 seed makes sense.

If they won today they would have bumped Gonzaga

 

[RU MAN]

I would feel bad for ASU, but Oregon really messed up that conference in the end. And as we know the PAC12 was really weak this year.

Mississippi State got a 5 seed and ASU beat them and Kansas. Johnnies I think should be worried.

I agree. I think the Johnnies are in trouble.

Neither asu or sju or ncstate can complain

 

[RU MAN]

Neither asu or sju or ncstate can complain

True.

 

[RU MAN]

So Marquette gets the BE highest seed at 5.

 

[bac2therac]

How is marquette a 5 better than Nova

Love Murray State here

 

[RU MAN]

Is anyone surprised like I am that Baylor got a 9 seed?

 

[bac2therac]

Wow

Who is out

Tcu is out

 

[shields]

You guys called it, ASU and the Johnnies. If people remember the VCU Johnnies game it went to overtime. And I watched overtime, and it looked like a foul on the Johnnies and the announcers thought it was a foul. That game got them in.

 

[RU MAN]

So the Johnnies and ASU are in and face each other. Wow. Good for both of them.

 

[bac2therac]

Hmm TCU might have a beef vs St Johns

 

[RU MAN]

I think Michigan gets a more favorable bracket than Michigan State.

 

[Abro1975]

Our Women's team will have it's named called tomorrow night. Probably a 6, 7, or 8 seed.

You know one of those bubble teams will always complain as being slighted.

 

[RU MAN]

Let's hope a 6 seed.

 

[RU MAN]

Well Lunardi not only nailed the first seeds, but also predicted that the B1G would get 8 teams in (the most) followed by the ACC and Big12.

 

[King of S]

Yes...either them or ASU is out

TCU out, Belmont in, called it

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

I think Michigan gets a more favorable bracket than Michigan State.

Agree. Would like to hear the committee’s logic as to how they placed the 2 seeds.

 

[RU MAN]

I have to say, nothing really surprises me in the seedings except for Michigan St. and Michigan. I think Michigan should be with Duke and Michigan St. should be with Gonzaga.

 

[bac2therac]

I think Michigan gets a more favorable bracket than Michigan State.

Definitely

 

[RU MAN]

So BAC, you were right. The Johnnies were the last team in the tourney.

Honestly this is best they have done in a long time...good job ncaa

Well wrong on TCU being in tho

So it appears that UNC Greensboro was last out...wow

NC State wasnt even in last 4 out

 

[RU MAN]

So the head of the NCAA committee (from Stanford) did consider both Michigan St. and Michigan for the one line, but still felt the 4 chosen were more rewarding for the #1 seeds. I would agree with that now.

Yeah, I was a bit surprised at the UNCG being the last one out. I don't know why but using the "eye" test I was never enthralled with TCU. And I kind of understand why NC State wasn't in the last 4 because they just didn't win enough in the Quad 1 opportunities they had. Of course if they had gotten in over St. Johns or ASU there would be a justification for that too. LOL.

 

[bac2therac]

353 out of conference sos for NC State...last in the world....and their only wins of note were Auburn and Syracuse

 

[RU MAN]

On ESPN Bilas and Williams and Greenberg agreed that the NCAA committee did a very good job EXCEPT for putting Michigan St., the top 2 seed in the number 1 bracket, meaning Duke. They all agree that Michigan St. should have been in the lowest of the 1 seeds which would be Gonzaga. I had called that earlier, and that was one of the issues I did have. Other than that, I thought the committee did a pretty darn good job this year.

was a committee rep pressed on this yet?

 

[RU MAN]

No. I would really like to understand the committee's reasoning.

 

[RU MAN]

Dukie Vitale just chimed in ripping the committee for putting Michigan St. in the same bracket as Duke.

 

[bac2therac]

No. I would really like to understand the committee's reasoning.

Big 10 network guys are really puzzled by it

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Indiana, OUT

 

[shields]

Good, was sick of Indiana and losing 12 out of 13.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Another puzzler is why at the bottom of the east region there are 3 big 10 squads. Also mich state can play Minnesota in round 2 if both win. Weird.

 

[TDIrish27]

Just glad Belmont gets a shot

 

[BigEastPhil]

I think seton hall caught a break playing Wofford in opening round. Winnable game. Not a fan of having squads who have played each other meet in round 2 a la seton hall vs Kentucky and mich state vs either Louisville or Minnesota. How could they do that with Minnesota.
