Official NCAA Selection Show Thread

Here's the place to talk about the brackets as their released.

First surprise, IMO, is that Michigan State isn't a #1 seed. Also, a little surprised UVA got a top seed.

 

[dukiejay]

I'm glad we avoided the South region.

 

[dbav]

I agree. I'd be annoyed if I was Kansas. The 2 seed is the only weak seed.

Shocked at UVA. I have to think MSU or OK will be the 2 there.

 

[pisgah101]

Betring were in Carolinas bracket or Oregon.

 

[duke0527]

They are going to draw this out as long as possible. Just release the regions.

 

[dukiejay]

Betring were in Carolinas bracket or Oregon.

I'd be shocked if we're in the same bracket at Carolina. I think we're in the West region as the 4- or 5-seed.

 

[dbav]

Whoever is shooting around behind Bill Self shoots the rock about as well as I do.

 

[Crank_it_loud]

I would think they're sending Duke to Orefons bracket, but I'm not watching live. Would they stick them with UVA or AFAM, I mean UNC?

 

[dbav]

Barkley is a human technical difficulty.

Also, listening to him say Iowa is priceless.

 

[dukiejay]

I would think they're sending Duke to Orefons bracket, but I'm not watching live. Would they stick them with UVA or AFAM, I mean UNC?

I don't think they would. Unless Duke has slipped to a 6-seed we're in the West region.

 

[Laettner]

This show is a disgrace, NBA imbesols making picks. Thanks CBS, sell outs!

 

[dbav]

Where is Clark Kellogg? He is the only studio guy I like on CBS.

 

[pisgah101]

Literally the worst sports thing I've ever seen lol not put together very well..

 

[dukiejay]

I don't mind the show as much as I mind just giving us the damn brackets. I liked the old days when they released the bracket in 30 minutes and then talked about it and made picks. Now it's a damn two-hour show just to find out where the hell teams are going. That's ridiculous.

 

[HuffyJB]

I heard it from every UVA fan last year when Duke got a #1 seed over them, even though Duke had a clearly better resume and the head to head win. I bet all those same people think putting UVA over Mich. St. was a great decision.

 

[dbav]

Perhaps Baylor will be a good luck charm again.

 

[dbav]

Haha, Gottlieb talking about personal shenanigans just made me chuckle a bit. Makes me want to hit him with a stolen laptop or.throw a stolen credit card at him.

 

[K-oach Q]

Well..I don't think we beat Baylor so that a sucky second round game for us.

 

[Laettner15]

Alright now we know our bracket, time to get back to work!

 

[dbav]

I wish we played Friday.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

You said we were done months ago, you also said we weren't a tourney team. Go away now

 

[Laettner15]

Well..I don't think we beat Baylor so that a sucky second round game for us.

Don't sleep on Yale, not saying they will win but that's not a cake walk

 

[dbav]

I'll say I'm surprised we're a 4. I thought we'd be a 5 or 6.

 

[dukiejay]

Well..I don't think we beat Baylor so that a sucky second round game for us.

You didn't think we'd be a tourney team a month ago, either.

 

[pisgah101]

Well..I don't think we beat Baylor so that a sucky second round game for us.

Are u for real??? Hahaha ok.. Elite eight easy

 

[K-oach Q]

Baylor is super athletic and deep

You said we were done months ago, you also said we weren't a tourney team. Go away now

I also said we would play two games in the ACC tournament when you complained about that..how'd that work for ya??

 

[skysdad]

I'd be shocked if we're in the same bracket at Carolina. I think we're in the West region as the 4- or 5-seed.

Nice job dj. Keep it up and you will be another Gary-7. OFC

 

[LH24ND]

Barkley is a human technical difficulty.

Also, listening to him say Iowa is priceless.

CBS needs to get a hook and pull him off the set

 

[skysdad]

I've got no complaints. One game at a time. OFC

 

[Laettner]

Like our draw. Baylor is undisciplined. Gottlieb is such a jacka$$

 

[dukiejay]

Now we only have to wait another 30 minutes for the next bracket to be released.

 

[dbav]

CBS needs to get a hook and pull him off the set

I actually find him entertaining just because he's so awkward. He seems like a good guy, just really nonchalant.

 

[K-oach Q]

You didn't think we'd be a tourney team a month ago, either.

Uh no...said it was a possibility given where we where...also said it was highly doubtful that would happen.

You can go back and pull the quote if you like. That's what it will say..

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Throw it at the wall and it will indeed stick once in a while. A broken watch is right twice a day..,. Think about those. You'll figure it out, maybe

 

[dukiejay]

Nice job dj. Keep it up and you will be another Gary-7. OFC

That's high praise. Thanks, skysdad!

 

[DukeDenver]

I'm loving our path. I think we'll win 2.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Dukes tourney shirts read....

DUKE VS ALL

That's how ya approach it. Weve made it here with the depth issues, we've beaten good teams thru out the year. K vs Drew..... Yeah I'll pass on conceding

 

[Smythe13]

A bearded guy, titu?,on espn just said that uncw cares more about the game more than Duke and will beat Duke

 

[K-oach Q]

We can beat Baylor but will have to shoot really well.

They are deep and athletic with athletes inside...foul trouble and only one day to prepare for their zone will be issues.

I'd like our chances much better if we had them as the first game of the week in our region.

We can win but they will have the advantage especially inside our biggest weakness.

 

[aah555]

I don't have a ton of faith in this Duke team -- and wouldn't be surprised if we lose early at any point in the first weekend. With that said, we frankly couldn't have gotten a better draw IMO. I don't know a ton about UNC-Wilmington, but they really didn't do much in the non-conference that would inspire a lot of fear. While Syracuse gave us troubles, we do generally match up pretty well against zone teams -- which could create major issues for a Baylor team that likes to play zone and IMO is generally pretty poorly coached. Further, of the potential #1s we could have been given, Oregon's not a terrible matchup b/c they too don't have a lot of bulk at the 4 spot. And OU/A&M at the 2/3 is not exactly a murderer's row. Given where we could have been seeded, this is about as good as I could have hoped.
