Uni got screwed!

[UNIMAN4]

I thought they could make a run, but it's not gonna happen having to face Kansas in the 2nd round.

That is the one team I give them a 0% chance of beating.

This sucks.

Eff the selection committee. We get a nine and Notre fricking Dame gets a 6? Total BS.

with the whole budget situation, UNI couldn't afford to bribe the committee like the other teams. And it cost them.

Re: Uni got screwed!

The Panthers got hosed. No respect from the committee at all. The loss to Evansville may have hurt them more than some thought it would.

Look on the bright side. It means that Coach Jake stays for at least one more year.

I was trying not to think about that. Beat KU and he becomes a millionaire and can name his next destination.

All I have to say is I will be cheering as hard for Old Dominion to win as I will for UNI.

Re: Uni got screwed!

No, we can beat Kansas. I don't want to play Syracuse or Kentucky. We can beat Kansas. I just know we can.

Until CBS started wrapping up their coverage with a member of the selection committee, I guess I wasn't too upset or surprised by this (well maybe just a little). But when his response to the question "how do you seed the teams" was "we look at their record against top 100 RPI teams" I choked on my dinner. To say they consulted a Magic 8 Ball® or drew names from a hat at least made more sense. I had to look it up...perhaps it was I that had made the mistake:

UNI vs. Top 100 RPI: 10-1
Let's skip the 8's (though I found the same there too)
7 Seeds vs. Top 100 RPI: Richmond 10-7, Clemson 10-9, BYU 8-5, OSU 5-9

With this kind of logic even UNLV has been slighted with a 8-5 Top 100 mark.

Agreed...it's done, play the hand we're dealt, and move on, but please just admit that other factors were at play here:

1) Iowa is hard to find on a map
2) They didn't pass your "eye test" because you've never seen them play
3) If it isn't Creighton or WSU at the top, the MVC is presumably weak.

I just got mad all over again.

Re: Uni got screwed!

I think it may be a bad idea for the committee (or anyone else) to" kick sand in the face" of this Panther team.
