Oklahoma being in is a huge travesty.

Loyola a 11 seed. Great spot for them

TBS turned it into a godzilla movie. The audio is lagged 10 sec behind the video.

So Syracuse was the last team in, yet lost to both ND and St Bonv who were in the last 4 out?

And Oklahoma gets a #10 seed. Should have been in a play-in game at best.

Purdue got the #2 seed they were promised a week ago, but they don't deserve it.


What it comes down to is the committee values games played in November just as much as they value games played in the past month which, IMO, is ridiculous. More weight should be given to how teams are playing now.

Also the quadrant system is idiotic. Any system that says a win on the road vs the #75 team in the country is worth the same as a home win vs a top 5 team is clearly broken.


I really like Virginia, but they got screwed. #1 overall seed and they get stuck in the top half of their bracket with Arizona and Kentucky, two teams better than any team in the bottom half of that same bracket.

You mad?

The conference tournaments aren't good at predicting NCAA success. That's why they are treated like normal games.

Not mad, but not happy with some of the seeds and match ups.

I take it back, I am mad, actually furious about the bracket. No one watches more CBB than me and that's not hyperbole. There is literally no one out there who watches more CBB than me. I DVR 20 games on any given Saturday, not to mention all the games I DVR during the week. Basically if there's a good game on ESPN, FOX, CBS, SEC, BIG10, FS1, FS2 or any other channel I record it and watch it. With my creative fast forwarding I can watch a CBB game in 30 minutes.

I'm heavily invested emotionally in this season and to see the committee do such a terrible job with seeding disgusts me. I fell in love with Virginia this year, love watching them play. To see them get completely fucked as the #1 overall seed is beyond disgusting. Having to face either Kentucky or Arizona in the sweet 16 is beyond ridiculous. Kansas, the #3 overall seed gets either Auburn or Clemson in that same sweet 16, two teams that have key late season injuries and are shadows of their former selves. Auburn is below .500 the past few weeks. Pathetic. They should've been a 6 seed at best, but the stupid quadrant system has them at a #4.

MSU as a #3 is a joke as well, no reason then should be playing Duke in the sweet 16. Those are both #2 seeds.


so yea, I am mad and have a right to be.

Kentucky sucks. Kansas may lose to the 16 seed. Virginia will be fine.

Virginia got screwed. MSU had a horrible resume, but Cincinnati did also. That's why they were both very close.

As the recipient of grave threats via the cyclonefanatic.com forums over the last several months for merely suggesting that Iowa State may have been better off promoting TJ Otzelberger than hiring Steve Prohm, I really need South Dakota St. & their Hoiball to come through vs. Ohio St. They do seem to be the fashionable 5/12 pick.

That's funny. WVU-Purdue is a good pick though.

as a bandwagon UVA fan, I'm devastated by the news today. :(


Can they do what Oregon did last year and still make the final 4? I don't know, Hunter was a big part of their offense, gave them a guy who could create his own shot and knock down the 3.

I'm pretty conflicted about this one just because I really like Young but I hate that the Sooners got in at all.
