have at it

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Alabama the #1 overall seed. Hmm

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Maryland - WVU the 8-9 game in the South. That could be pretty physical match.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU the #10 seed in the Midwest Region. They'll play #7 seed Texax A&M on Thursday in Des Moines, IA

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

10 ... BS

 

[rudedude]

10 ... BS

Yeah with Indiana a 4. We beat ‘em twice.

 

[Nits74]

10th seed is a big time screw job. Indiana #4? Seriously.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

That's a tough seed for PSU. TAMU was #2 in the SEC. And the winner of the PSU - TAMU game will likely play #2 seed Texas in R2.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Bullsh*t draw

 

[Nits74]

That's a tough seed for PSU. TAMU was #2 in the SEC. And the winner of the PSU - TAMU game will likely play #2 seed Texas in R2.

Tough and very predictable. Illinois will probably be a seven seed or better

 

[Shepdogg]

F that!

 

[psuro]

Ugh. And in Iowa no less.

 

[FHSPSU67]

They had to have made these selections prior to the conference championships and been imbibing ever since!

 

[LionsAndBears]

The good knews is they appear to be a Guard oriented team. They don't appear to have an overpowering Front Court which has been our Achilles Heel this year.

 

[SouthCarolion]

Alabama the #1 overall seed. Hmm

I’ve heard the competition for that seed was murder.

I don't think this match-up is all that bad. They play 3 Guards and 2 Forwards. Their Forwards are 6'8" and 6'9" and both average under 10 pts a game.

 

[psuro]

The had to have made these selections prior to the conference championships and been imbibing ever since!

I am of the opinion that name recognition in Basketball contributes to the seeding.

[Bison13]

Seems that the committee did not think the Big Ten or big 12 or as good as some commentators have said all year.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Rutgers out is a surprise to me

 

[psuro]

Rutgers out is a surprise to me

Yeah I think they got hosed a bit.

 

[Shep]

8 teams in ties the SEC for the most.

 

[MacNit]

PSU the #10 seed in the Midwest Region. They'll play #7 seed Texax A&M on Thursday in Des Moines, IA

Hosed…should be no surprise. I am sure Big10 lobbied us for Dayton or NIT.

Indiana seeded 6 rungs higher as 4seed! Why? Big10 screw job.

 

[A2nit]

Jay Wright said A&M under-seeded, I agree.
Rutgres, wow…

 

[BobPSU92]

Alabama the #1 overall seed. Hmm

They shoot well.

 

[BobPSU92]

10th seed is a big time screw job.

Too low. We should decline.

 

[marshall23]

They shoot well.

It's really been just a big misunderstanding.

 

[Hardslider33]

Rutgers out is a surprise to me

Makes me happy though .. can’t stand them haters

 

[Psu00]

10th seed is a big time screw job. Indiana #4? Seriously.

They have Indiana as the 15th ranked team. PSU 38th.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Rutgers being out is a surprise to me…. But I will not shed a tear! That’s a shame!

 

[GrimReaper]

Hosed…should be no surprise. I am sure Big10 lobbied us for Dayton or NIT.

Indiana seeded 6 rungs higher as 4seed! Why? Big10 screw job.

Sure they did. They always work to receive less money.

 

[doctornick]

Yeah with Indiana a 4. We beat ‘em twice.

Rutgers and Wisconsin both beat us twice, where should they be seeded?

 

[rudedude]

Rutgers and Wisconsin both beat us twice, where should they be seeded?

They are seeded on the outside looking in.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

For those of you who did not see todays Championship game…. PSU lost… tune in to the BTN this week, Big Ten Hoops in 60, it will be on at least 20 times. Had we won it may have been on twice, at 2am!

 

[MacNit]

They have Indiana as the 15th ranked team. PSU 38th.

Well “they” are mistaken.

 

[MacNit]

Sure they did. They always work to receive less money.

They receive the same amount of $. The favored teams just get a better shake.

It appears that the Big 10 Tournament wasn't considered at all. I guess it didn't happen.

 

[A2nit]

Same with SEC with A&M being a 7 and UK a 6.

 

[Nitwit]

Nope. And we were only 10-10 in conference play. That’s what matters.

 

[blion72]

It appears that the Big 10 Tournament wasn't considered at all. I guess it didn't happen.

Rutgers was like 46 and sPitt gets a play in at 67.
