Official Selection Show Watch Party Thread

[CBB_Fan]

Ok CBB, where is the perfect pod for us since you're so mad?

Responding only because it has to do with basketball:

The Midwest, assuming Kansas lacks Azubuike, otherwise the South. I'm pretty confident we match up well with a Kansas team that literally doesn't have a post player, and Clemson is closer to the type of team I want to face, defensive oriented teams a la Cincinnati with somewhat of a reliance on a traditional big. KU without a post is one of the most likely 1 seed upsets in the history of the tournament, meaning we have a really good shot at getting to the Elite 8 without wearing black. And even with Azubuike, I'm not sure KU matches up super well against us because I'm not sure they could handle Shaq.

Otherwise, like I said above I'd prefer a defensive team to an offensive one so I'd prefer Virginia to Villanova. Both are good, the two best teams in the Dance by any statistical analysis, but judging by Cincinnati I think we could play above our normal level against Virginia and have something close to a 50/50 game. Whereas Villanova is like a supercharged Houston, with the best duo in basketball in Mikal Bridges and Jalen Brunson and 3 other guys that can absolutely light it up from deep. Of course, the other side of the equation is getting to that game. Kentucky is scary 5.

I really do hope OU has to play Duke. It’d be great to see what Grayson would do to Tre. Would he kick him?

[JJClamdip]

Would he kick him?

Right in the grapes!

[Cdizzle]

Really fun regional for WSU fans. Added bonus getting to root for NMSU and Charleston. Clemson and Auburn don't even know they just got screwed with fan support.

We lost last time we played in Viejas btw.

[bunck]

We lost last time we played in Viejas btw.

No Kawhi Leonard this time.

[Blackmag]

Don’t think Tre will get a chance, I’ll take RI. like our chances against Marshal, West Virginia second game will take a all-hands on deck effort

[ShockerFever]

I'll be rooting for K-State in their first game. No question.

[Cdizzle]

I don't remember being so not pissed on selection Sunday.

[Slykryck]

Yep, definitely lucked out in a Fri/Sun draw. Works well for those attending here.

I’m extremely excited for the Friday/Sunday draw. Moving on Saturday. TV will be the last thing taken down on Friday and the first thing up on Sunday.

[Blackmag]

OU got in cause of Tre Young. Really a joke. For them to go 2-8 down the stretch and really look bad at it and OSU beating Kansas twice and OU in tourney and not getting in is sad. I thought it’s how you finish

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

Blackmag, the committee officially removed the “last 10” or “last 12” games consideration. It’s literally no longer a criteria point.

So no, it’s not “about how you finish”. Right or wrong, they’ve been upfront about this.

[SHOCKvalue]

Bill Self is probably gonna have to call someone to find out directions to Wichita. What’s 3G’s number?

[Slykryck]

Nm

[Slykryck]

So did I which Is why I initially posted it. but then I deleted it for language. If the audience is fine with an uncensored F-word, I’ll repost. But wanted to keep it respectful for the masses.

[SHOCKvalue]

Doesn’t bother me. KW can take it down if he deems it no bueno.

[Kung Wu]

I didnt see it but two mods before me got a laugh so ...

[shockerfan]

Love our draw.

[Shockm]

What time do the Shox play Marshall Friday?

[AndShock]

We’ll find out in a couple hours.
