Selection Sunday Thread

Time for my first post I guess... I guess what gets me most is the audacity of the committee. Who knows, maybe we lose to Dayton in the end. But they're essentially saying the media don't know **** (top 25), coaches don't know **** (top 25), folks who have spent a LOT of geek hours making analytical tools don't know **** (many top 25, several top 15), and history don't mean **** (when they've done the same f#^*ing thing and been wrong over and over again). As Tarkanian said long ago, the NCAA is flat out corrupt. Is what it is I guess. Rant over (finally).

Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY is picking 11 URI to beat 6 CU.

Figures.

Think that I prefer being a Vegas favorite over a committee favorite

Various quotes from Marshall and players after the Dayton announcement.

Gregg Marshall " I'm just glad they didn't forget about us. I was starting to get a little worried."

A 90 second video of the team's reaction to the announcement. Listen carefully there was at least 1 "oh FU..." in the background. So I think they will be motivated.

Early line from Vegas has the Shocks a 6.5 favorite...

DYNAMITE drop in by Gregg on Northern Kentucky Coach John Brannen.

[WuDrWu]

"I think North Carolina, UCLA and Kentucky have combined to win 24 National titles in our bracket. If we win, it will be 25."


And Gregg Marshall drops the mic.

With us landing a 10 seed, we clearly were not thought of highly by the commiteee. It makes me wonder if we had lost to ISU in the title game, if we would have been left out. I hate saying it, but Parish may have been right about us after all.

It's Palm, not Parish. And he had us as an 11 I believe. So he is still wrong lol ;)

I think that instead of playing Dayton, we would be playing in Dayton again. I can't imagine they would leave Kenpom #8 out, even if they don't seem to value it much at all.
