Wow we weren't even the last 3.. we were 11th.
Goes to show you the SC didn't really give a **** about Auburn.. which is odd because they sure seemed to ding Kansas and Duke for theirs.

At least Memphis is in the western part of the state. Charlotte?
Kentucky is questionable in what we call easy paths. Remember the Kevin Knox team with the Red Sea parting in their bracket, and all they had to do was beat K State? The last thing I'm gonna do is call this bracket easy or assume Kentucky will even see a second round matchup. Now I'm not saying that Kentucky will lose, but I'm not gonna St. Peter's myself again. Just gotta pray something will change this year.
That’s how I feel overall. I like the path. But nothing is given with Cal after 2018.
Seems like this is always too good to be true, Kentucky gets a fairly good path and then they somehow choke it away. I’m hoping it’s different this time around. I hope Calipari knows this is his most important tournament of his entire career
Now comes that time of year where I use my superior basketball knowledge to make the most god awful picks in history.
The winner of the NC State/TTU game will be a tougher one for us than the next one IMO.
I don't think I've had a bracket that I looked at after the first weekend for a while.
Done on Saturday, just my opinion. I have zero faith in Cal to do anything anymore.

.LETS SEE IF BILAS CRIES THAT DUKE ONLY GOT A 4 LIKE LAST SEASON WHEN THEY GOT A 5!!
Last year most of our group at work was done before the elite eight.
The final four decided between two. But the other more than 10 were out.
I don't see how they put Kansas ahead of Auburn.
Don’t think so. Michigan State shouldn’t have even made the tourney. Miss st is the better team and wins easily.Nope, you are wrong.
I think our schedule and big wins really pushed us in the end. It's easy to forget for some, but we beat a top5 team in the nation in Tenn at THEIR place just over a week ago. We beat Auburn, We beat 1-seed UNC, we beat Alabama. We played a lot of other high seeds. We have looked pretty great in this final stretch.
Unfortunately, the teams around us just didn't do the same. Guys like Duke played no one and beat no one, Kansas was trending down. Auburn didn't have the NonConf schedule we had and also had an easier SEC slate.

Oakland plays in Cleveland State's conf we nearly beat them in the Horizon tournament they have a star big man we should crush them
Just further proof that the SEC tourney results have no bearing on seeding for the NCAAT.
I bet, I can only imagine if Jay Wright coached this team. We would steamroll people for real.
You know that, meanwhile my wife watched like 3 games all year and picks her favorite mascots and beats the hell out of me in a bracket challenge.
As much as I love my Cats, I have been hurt enough by dreaming of what this team could do. I am just taking one game at a time. With our coach, any thing can happen and often it isn't good. Without a doubt we are the most talented team in college basketball, but without a good coach, does it matter?
Down Dickie, down Dickie! He is a little too excited for me.

Around 10 to 11 eastern usually.
It is about personnel matchups. We don't match up with teams that have a Robert Traylor sized post player like NC State. Our draw isn't necessarily an easy path for a finesse offensive oriented squad.
I suspect that the whistle will be tighter in the NCAA than we saw in the SEC, which actually helps us a bit. First things first, figure out Oakland's zone and get that win. Then we worry about the rest.
