Six from the cheating twelve is a joke texas sucks and baylor didn't beat any one until the cheating 12 tournament and those were fixed to get them in.

[shock10]

I'm hoping that Wichita State plays a pro team. You know the one with players that get paid. To beat them with a team that doesn't get the extras is funny. I still laugh at seton hall and tennessee. Bring on the cheaters from the bcs

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

^^ you sound mad

[ShockerFever]

Playing Drexel or VCU in the first round would not serve our team justice. Those two schools are 8 or 9 seed type schools that will be underseeded. Please give us a BCS wannabe.

I would love to see a matchup against South Florida in the first round. I watched the USF vs Notre Dame game the other night and USF is terrible.

Baylor is the #11 team in the country. They were a lock regardless of their performance in the Big 12 tournament.

Baylor is 9-7 vs Top 50 teams, 12-7 versus Top 100, 14-0 versus all others
SOS ranked 9th

Wins over SD St, St. Marys, BYU out of conference

[ISASO]

NC State or Texas all the way. Bring it on.

[Shox21]

Whomever the Shocks play I just want us to win. I don't care about the rest. And Baylor deserved to be in BEFORE the Big 12 Tournament. Some of you guys are really something else when it comes to BCS schools. Give it a rest.

[Zardoz]

I would expect them to have this fairly early. They can float some teams depending on the tournaments being played, but other teams are locked in regardless of what happens. The only teams moving are the teams on the bubble. Seeding might be somewhat fluid at this point.

Drexel is not that good. They only beat Bradley by 5 points at home.

One game comparisons? Really?? Yah, they only went on a 19-game winning streak. No big deal. Only a bad team would end up winning 19 in a row.

Florida lost by 14 to Georgia a few weeks ago. They beat a 2-14 South Carolina team on their home floor by only 8. Does that mean they're not that good either? Please.


I don't wanna face any quality mid-major who knows how to win, has won lots of games, and has a chip on its shoulder with something to prove, i.e. Drexel, i.e. VCU, i.e. Long Beach State.

I'm not saying that Drexel couldn't cause problems for some teams, but they did have a SOS that was worse that all the teams in the MVC. So I guess a 19-game win streak shouldn't be unexpected.
