Re: Selection Sunday Thread
Honestly of the 5 seeds, (Purdue, Utah, Illinois FSU), Purdue would be last one I would want to play.
That said, certainly a winnable game if we can handle the ball well. They really pressure in the half-court.Comment

Re: Selection Sunday Thread
I don't understand how they match the seeds with the region, but UCLA is going to Philly because they are in the 4 team bracket with Nova who is the highest seed (3) in that 4 team bracket. Therefore, Nova gets to play close to home.Originally posted by 01PantherFan View PostTo avoid confusion - my username is baseball (Cy Young award) related, NOT for the Cyclones.Comment

Re: Selection Sunday Thread

The drop between the 3 or 4 seeds and the rest of the field this year is severe. This might be a good year to be a 12.Comment

Re: Selection Sunday Thread
The NCAA tries to keep the top 4 seeds as close to home as possible, but other rules come into play and cause some of the top 4 seeds to be shipped elsewhere. I think the big factor is 3 conferences having 7 teams really impacted site selection since conference schools are not suppose to meet until the Sweet 16.Comment

Re: Selection Sunday Thread
Only 4 at large teams form the non 'power' conferences. Creighton never had a chance IMO, even if they lost in the MVC finals they were toast.
The NCAA needs to take over a game for every team each year. Force some of these teams to play midmajors in midmajor gyms. Basically a nation wide bracket buster.
The NCAA tournament isn't much fun without all the small schools IMO.Comment

Re: Selection Sunday Thread
If the "pod" that UCLA went out west instead than Nova would of played out west instead of Philly. I know they could of bracketed different to avoid this but they don't start the bracketing process unit Sunday around 3-4 pm eastern time so only have couple hours to do this. With bracket restrictions this is tough process and some teams have to play away from home.Originally posted by 01PantherFan View PostComment

Re: Selection Sunday Thread
So I guess you feel winning 1 of your last six games is a good thing (Arizona) and better than being blown out.Originally posted by Newsbreaker View PostComment

Re: Selection Sunday Thread
"your entire body of work" is the official message from the selection committee....
Is this a consistent from year to year? What happened to "how you finished" "your final 10 games" "the best teams at the end of the year" which they touted in previous years?
Maybe my memory is fading, but it sure seems like a moving target for mid-majors...The real message is "whoever we want for whatever reason"Comment

Re: Selection Sunday Thread

Purdue is really gelling now that Hummel is back. Not a big fan of this matchup. However....
They will play man-to-man.
This is a different UNI team than the ones Painter played against.
I'm not sold that Purdue is playing different than Painter's previous SIU team.
On a side note...I'm a big Paul Lusk (Purdue assistant, former Iowa/SIU student-athlete) fan, and think he will be an excellent head coach one day!
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.Comment

Re: Selection Sunday Thread
Wow...we could be looking at playing Purdue in two consecutive seasons. If I remember correctly, they will be in the Paradise Jam next year as well.Comment
