Bracket Reveal chat. Sneak preview

@BeddieKU23 I forgot about that.
But it was great game that Kentucky won on monks 59 thousand points
-
Wichita can beat Kentucky
-
I knew KSU was in after WSU was a 10, Illinois State and them were fighting for that spot.
-
@kjayhawks WSU a top 11 kenpom team is a 10 seed lol. Disrespected them huge… wouldn’t be surprised to see them make a deep run
-
Gonzaga/Arizona/WVU probably 1,2,3 in the West now.
-
@Bosthawk I think that loss to them in AFH was a fluke. We led comfortably, then just let our guard down and it became hard to stop momentum. ISU is going to like the KC site however.
-
@cragarhawk they could potentially face Kentucky, UCLA and North Carolina. They probably aren’t making it out of there
-
@wissox gotta get there first!
-
@wissox they have to win two games first
-
So when are schedules and playing times announced?
-
Northwestern !
-
@ParisHawk later tonight, I believe
-
If any of you get spectrum sports or Cox, they have a KU selection Sunday special on at 5:30
-
That’s not a bad draw for WVU.
-
@HawkChamp Thanks
-
Josh gets another shot at the clones.
-
No cuse a million for whineheim on espn later
-
@wrwlumpy ISU would have a tough time with Purdue
-
West bracket weakest, followed by the East.
-
So glad Syracuse didn’t get in this year. They didn’t deserve it last year either and really didn’t deserve it this year.
-
@BeddieKU23 Only team that I thought was kind of snubbed is Illinois St.
Syracuse has 14 losses. I’m going to enjoy listening to boeheim whine.
-
All I got to say is we better show up to play games 1-6. No taking anyone lightly. Rock Chalk.
-
If Illinois st hadn’t been dominated by Wichita in the last 2 meetings it would have made a difference. Tough for the mid major when they don’t play enough big teams
-
Just looked at 19-15 Vanderbilts schedule. What a joke of a selection! 15 freaking losses. 8 in the pitiful SEC. 1 loss to Bucknell. Lose by 23 to Middle Tennessee. Don’t know who should have gotten in instead, but there’s no way they should be in.
Arizona deserved a 1 seed more than UNC.
And again, because I follow that other team, to give them an 8 seed and Minnesota a 5 is just totally headscratching. Pitino provide some companions for the committee? UW beat minny twice, finished ahead of them in the regular season, went further in the conference tourney. I know you all don’t care but the Badgers have to play a tough 9 seed and then probably the overall #1. I wasn’t expecting much for them the way this season ended, but they should have been treated better than that.
-
I didn’t think the brackets were being released until 530? What did I miss?
-
@Blown You missed it all! My best advice now is to look it up!
-
@wissox wtf, was it 530 Eastern I guess?
-
@Blown sorry dude. Forgot to change your clock maybe? No worries really.
-
@Blown said:
@wissox wtf, was it 530 Eastern I guess?
Does anyone really know what time it is? Does anyone really care?
Time Zones and DST.
-
So by my count:
9 ACC (60%) 7 Big East (70%) 7 Big 10 (50%) 6 Big 12 (60%) 5 SEC (36%) 4 PAC 12 (33%)
Committee obviously didn’t think much of the PAC12. Arizona could have been a 1 seed, they are a 2. Oregon could have been a 2 seed they are a 3. UCLA is a 3. Cal got left out.
-
I cant find a bracket on line yet. DId KSU Get in>
-
-
Yes. Playing Wake Forest.
-
@Blown Yes, KState has a play in game if you count that as being in.
-
FOund one.
-
@Blown KSU is playing Danny Manning’s Wake Forest Tuesday night in a First Four game.
-
Louisville is 2 seed? Wow.
Iowa State in our grouping. Stupid.
Potential Second game vs. MichSt. Ouch.
Like our chances if we can get to the Regionals.
-
@Blown So you missed all the instant commentary!
-
@mayjay Yes. Been working on some Continuing Ed thinking this all started at 530 today. Oh well!
-
Not a fan of this one. Possibly playing a perennial Final Four team in the second round, or a team that’s beat UNC, Duke, and Florida State. Then the possibility of playing ISU in KC…
-
@Blown It did start at 5:30, if you lived in the Eastern time zone.
-
UNC Gets a cakewalk into the elite 8.
-
So…Is the rule that you can play someone in your conference prior to Elite 8 if you only played them twice? I thought it was once. Surprised we might play ISU in the S16. I think I would rather see the bad match up with Purdue and their 2 big guys…ISU floods KC. Also…MSU (and Izzo)…if they get past Miami…tough 2nd round matchup.
-
Positive of facing Michigan St is at least its a team this team won’t have a problem getting up for.
I’m going to order my tickets now.
-
@MoonwalkMafia I get it, but at the end of the day, we’re a 1 seed…that means we should be able to beat all comers…and have to anyway to win a NC.
#JustBringIt
-
@wissox but to hear the talking heads, both UNC & Duke should be 1 seeds.
-
michigan st will lose in the 1st round
-
This pretty much sums up what a lot of us have said.
Gary Parrish on our being No. 1 seed:
-
Looking at all 4 regions, I kind of wish we had fallen to a #2 seed and been shipped West, which looks to be easiest bracket overall by far. Toughest is the South, although almost all of the strength is the bottom half. UNC and Duke seem to have easy paths to the E8; no surprise there.
Midwest presents some challenges, but if we’re playing well is manageable. I don’t like the potential of ISU in the Sweet 16 game, but we both have to get there first…
-
@RockChalkinTexas of course, Gary is one that had us bumped from a 1 seed.
Perhaps that would give us more of chip?
