There is less fuckery in this bracket than any that I can remember.  

aggy might be the most surprising seeding.

The East is weird. 

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Des Moines will be hostile....fuck em, same as this weekend.  

[Beau Vine 54230]

ORU-Duke could be really fun.

It is unbelievable that there are Texas fans complaining about possibly playing *checks notes* aggy in the second round.

That opening game is a total toss up too. I would take Penn State to win it. 

[The Ace of Aces 5183]

Memphis can beat Purdue. 

[chemHORN 1239]

Having to play a rivalry game in round 2 is still not ideal.  Committee screwed us in that department.

The bitching is the committee didn’t seem to actually look at resumes. Like they had the bracket done 3 weeks ago and just stopped working 

[runthebone 7982]

Everyone's talking about playing aggy...this is aggy, they'll probably fuck it up.

[The Ace of Aces 5183]

Shaka is set up well for an elite 8 run - of course 

[Beau Vine 54230]

Rutgers, Okie State, Vandy, Clemson, UNC, Wisconsin left out.

Yeah.

I have no idea who to pick coming out of the bottom half of that bracket.

Rutgers the surprise of that one 

[Underdog 28633]

Like UK's draw but then...  Cal.  So who the fuck knows. 

[J.R. Juniors Junior Jr. 1084]

I like how the CBS crew immediately called Tennessee losing in the first round.

Good thing they aren't our rival.

Your reward for winning the AAC, Memphis, is a brutal draw.

Wow.

Maybe not but did you see what happened in the 2 games against Tech this year.  We better have someone in all our transfers ears letting them know exactly how bad those guys want to beat us.  We will have to match the intensity.

He should take a pay cut for that debacle Friday night. 

Even then, he'd be earning 1.5MM more than anyone else. 

[Underdog 28633]

IU/U should be interesting, may hit that one up pending if UK plays on sunday(lol). 

[cafe society 2871]

Committee likes word games... potential second round pitting St. Mary's v Iona.  Gaels on Gaels violence.

[ballrific 215]

any idea when our tip off time for Saturday game is vs Penn St?

I'm gonna put Brock in charge of that.

[Mdhorn 5949]

At least they're discussing their logic now.  Think this March Madness will be exciting as hell.

This clown just said player availability affects seeding, immediately after saying they gave UH a gimme for the loss today because their best player wasn’t playing.

What a fucking moron.

Sorry to be the asshole but this is what happened last time we were in the same quad

[Tennisfan 32]

Crap! My son goes to Colgate. They are fun to watch, and had a great year. I was looking forward to seeing them play well and maybe upset somebody in the tourney. That plan is out the window.  Hook 'em!

Iowa, KC, Houston fuk it. Let’s goooooo

aggy, piggy and kansas playing in Des Moines with us...

[Pato del Muerto 52498]

So there’s zero value in playing in a very difficult conference.

In Des Moines?

[Rickylovesweed 14316]

Penn State is not a good match up for aggy. 

Penn State ranks 8th in 3PAR offensively (one of the best 3 point shooting teams in the country) and aggy ranks 353rd in 3PAR defensively (one of the worst defensive teams against the 3). 

aggy likes to pressure which leads to open 3s. Penn State plays a bunch of guards which is why they're such a good 3 point shooting team.

We are bitching because we earned the right to play an easier matchup than that. We are getting a 3 seed type round of 32 matchup. Not exactly fair. It is what it is. 

texags is also in on the conspiracy: https://texags.com/forums/7/topics/3367032

Saturday won’t be announced until after Thursday games.

but that said, 6:30 is the start time for the primetime game on cbs.

We're bitching about a potential matchup against a shitass aggy team?  Really?

Precisely. Let’s enjoy kicking Aggy ass

I think I’m more concerned that Colgate will somehow go 17 for 20 from 3

[The Ace of Aces 5183]

First glance my F4 has Marquette and UConn. Jesus.  

[Lat22 4014]

How about we win our first game before worrying about a second? ACU anybody?

And Duke ain't the one. They'll take out Purdue. If Purdue gets past the first weekend.

Think TCU has a chance to make a run.  

[mdmost 43001]

Seth and Jay have us in their Final Four.
