*** Official SELECTION SUNDAY Thread ***

[CycloneErik]

How to UCLA and Ole Miss get in but CSU doesn't. Just don't see it.

Major conferences got major preference.

 

[awd4cy]

SMU will be our toughest match on the way to the elite 8.

 

[clonedude]

If we face Iowa in the sweet sixteen, I'm gonna puke.

Obviously, it would be a LOT better than having to face Gonzaga, but c'mon. I don't want to face Iowa, and have us shoot ice cold and lose somehow.

 

[Beyerball]

God I hope Iowa doesn't make the sweet 16

This x 1000. I called it. I knew we would end up in Iowa bracket. Iowa did not deserve a 7 seed either. They should be playing Duke rd 2. How is Iowa 2 seeds better than Purdue and same as mich st. No. Oh well. Iowa will beat Davidson. Gonzaga well that's a diff story, I'd hate us playing Iowa in sweet 16, absolute horrible scenario losing to Iowa and them advancing to Elite 8. I'd move.

SMU has talent and an NBA coach. I'd rather be in Baylor's spot.

Not worried.

True, but who have they beat?

 

[LindenCy]

Mid-majors completely screwed yet again.

Seems like the committee ignored RPI in a lot of cases.

 

[CycloneErik]

Scott Barnes is Captain Charisma.

 

[fsanford]

God I hope Iowa doesn't make the sweet 16

I do, that means they upsset Gonzaga who is probably a better team..

 

[swarthmoreCY]

I'd much rather be in position to face Gonzaga in Houston in the Sweet 16 than to face Arizona in Los Angeles.

You do realize you have to get to that round for that to matter.

 

[cowgirl836]

My husband's "dream scenario" is to have Iowa State, Kansas, Baylor, and Oklahoma in the Final Four, just to show who the strongest conference is in the nation. He said this before the brackets came out, and that slim chance does exist.



Abso-freakin'-lutely.

I will totally be rooting for that!

 

[Cyclonepride]

Also,we would CRUSH Iowa in the sweet sixteen, but they won't be there

 

[Erik4Cy]

Eustachy and CSU got slighted, no doubt.

Same here. This would be the nightmare scenario. To lose to those guys in the Sweet 16, we'd never freaking hear the end of it in this state.

 

[CyFan61]

So don't lose to a 6 seed? It's not like SMU was in the mix for a 3 and got snubbed. So what if they're the best 6. We're the best 3. We should win that game.

 

[Cycl1]

Not scared, we beat a 2 seed and 3 seed in the last 2 days.

 

[ISC]

Eustachy and CSU got slighted, no doubt.

Hearing that idiot talk about UCLA getting in just makes me even more mad. There is NO WAY he actually watched them play more than one game. They barely look like a NIT team to the "eye test".

 

[cyclone87]

Yea, don't want a rivalry game if we make the sweet 16.

 

[GoClones123]

Same here. This would be the nightmare scenario. To lose to those guys in the Sweet 16, we'd never freaking hear the end of it in this state.

Unless Iowa has 5 players they haven't shown to date, why would we lose to them?

They will lose anyways 2nd round.

 

[cowgirl836]

Not scared, we beat a 2 seed and 3 seed in the last 2 days.

that's.............a great way to look at it.
