2019 Selection Sunday - CBS, 5 PM

[Machinator 32099]

In all likelihood, for the second time in three years, Texas will not be in the NCAA tournament, which is a travesty. Nevertheless, the show must go on. CBS is thankfully reverting back to the traditional bracket reveal instead of regarded alphabetical lists from last year.

Not much bubble drama today, as all conference tourney finals are either in one-bid leagues with no further chances for thieves, or between power conference teams that are safely in the tournament.

NIT here we come

[BigOrange1 6544]

the official kickoff to one of the best weeks of the year.  can't wait.

[MotownHorn 1830]

I, for one, am bursting with excitement to see whether we can get a 1 seed in the NIT or if we will have to settle for a 2 seed 

😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[The Tower 369]

absolutely LOVE Selection Sunday

second favorite month behind October

Edited March 17, 2019 by The Tower

[Jhawk 1075]

Best day of the year. Even better with the players championship moved to this weekend. Great sports month from 3/11 - 4/11

[Underdog 28875]

Fully expecting UK to get bent over. 

[Machinator 32099]

It's go time.

[BigOrange1 6544]

Predictions:

1's: Duke, Virginia, Gonzaga, Michigan State

2's: North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan

 

Last 4 in: Clemson, Belmont, TEXAS, oklahoma

[The Tower 369]

overall #1 is duke

[TexasMan 11280]

Now this is how you reveal brackets. 

[Machinator 32099]

Wow, Belmont gets into the First Four.

[Vince_McCoy_Williams 98]

Duke should cruise to the final four in that bracket tbh

[Jhawk 1075]

East is a solid bracket. Not too tough, not too easy. 

[BigOrange1 6544]

temple is questionable.

Duke would cruise in 3/4 of the brackets. They’re a damn solid team.

Very.

[Machinator 32099]

Tough seeding for MSU. Not only do they get a 2 seed, but they're rewarded with Duke's region.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8916]

Nd state is beating duke





In football

[The Tower 369]

#1: Virginia in South region

Edited March 17, 2019 by The Tower

[The_Great_Hornsby 3348]

OU is a 9???? LOL

[Knoxtnhorn 6166]

Belmont = 1 game against Top 50 teams.  Lame.

[Wally Fairway 5600]

MSU seeded as the weakest #2 seed - I call bullshit, but now back to celebrating the dual B1G championships.

Fuck the committee

[BigOrange1 6544]

oklahoma being a 9 should be favorable for texas.  the resumes are basically equal.

[Knoxtnhorn 6166]

Sorry.  If OU is 9 then Texas should be in.

[Jhawk 1075]

KSU getting no love being sent to CA. 

[CurlyDumps 4558]

So Texas’ 8% outside chance snuffed out in the first four/ first region reveal? Nice.

[Knoxtnhorn 6166]

OU 1-8 against Top 25.  Texas 5-7.

Lol this is the tourney committee we are talking about 

[Brian Fantana 6708]

I could see KSU losing that game and wouldn't be shocked

This, I would be surprised if no Texas, probably gonna be an 11 seed in the play in

[EMAWesome 101]

What a shit draw for K-State.  Is there some kind of NCAA rule that we must be placed as close to Wisconsin in the bracket as possible?  And why is a 4 seed having to play a 13 seed in the 13 seed's home state?

[taybo20 2964]

Fuck ou

So basically the goal posts are moved again and it’s overall record not the resume. Win 19 and you are in.

[Jhawk 1075]

Shitty draw for Purdue. Road game against a streaking nova in round two. 

[MNLonghornFUKM 8916]

Nova a 6??? Wow.

[BigOrange1 6544]

virginia/tennessee would be a tremendous regional final

Then we would be bounced pre-1st round.

Virginia has to get by Garder-Webb first LOL

Still two brackets to go but at some point you have to win games. .500 has never cut it before regardless of resume. 

[Machinator 32099]

Cincy gets to play in Columbus as a 6 seed.

[clapclapclap 9000]

You can't just brush off Colgate.

Nah, we will win and then extend Shaka for 5 more years

[MNLonghornFUKM 8916]

Wow.. tough region

i agree with you, but if texas doesn't get in the only reason is going to be the .500 winning % because all of the other metrics say they should be in.

but it won't surprise me at all if the committee uses the .500 record as reasoning to keep them out.

Depends on the committee and what they value

True but a team woth a worse conference record gets a 9 seed with a weak schedule just because they won 19 games. I don’t disagree Texas has to win games they should have to get in.

Weren’t the four play-in teams in the first region?

Hayes injury hurts Texas too.....

[Pancho 45493]

So far I think

 

Bellmont to S16?

Cincinatti is NOT a 7 seed, but got “rewarded” with being in Columbus.
