*** Selection Show Thread ***

[JimboBBN]

Less than 20 away.

Assuming the top four are Auburn, Duke, Florida, and Houston. Hoping for a good draw and a (somewhat) healthy Lamont Butler

 

[Noahtogo24]

Kentucky 3 seed
Arkansas 11 seed
Same region

 

[Louis_Skunt]

I feel like we’re a wounded duck this year with a new coach and injuries, so I’m sure we’ll get St Johns, BYU, or UL for a possible big story.

We will see if predictions are even close.

None of those teams scare me. UKs health does as you mentioned.

I could see them putting St Johns and Arkansas in the same bracket. Hell all three could end up in the same bracket

Call me a conference homer but Texas is better and more deserving than Xavier or Indiana.

 

[mcwildcats04]

I hope UNC gets left out.

 

[RoyKent]

Neither IU nor UNC deserve to be in. I bet at least one of them will be included

 

[akaukswoosh]

This!

Look for KY to draw a tough first round game Would rather play an average Big name program over a good mid major

Agreed. We have notoriously played down to competition this year. If you see UCLA or UNC across from you, maybe the team is a little more amped for that game. Looking forward to selection show either way

 

[TucsonCat]

Just don't want a Thursday day game. If I have to take a vacation day, at least make it Friday.

I’ve got both days off favorite sporting event 4 days of high level basketball. Let the madness begin

 

[AJG-15]

My prediction

Duke cake walk ..playing at home : Raleigh ,Newark…. easy path to final four.. give them injured Bama…

Arkansas& Louisville & Tn will play in Rupp Arena

Kentucky will be given the hardest path sent west… St John will take us out.

I take both days off every year. The last three years have been brutal. Two of them I didn’t even get to enjoy the weekend games because Cal ruined them for me

 

[mcwildcats04]

Yep, same here. One of my kids has a dance event at some point on Thursday. Just praying I don't have to try and work my way out of that.

Me too. I always schedule off Thursday-Sunday for the first two weekends regardless. Watch four games at once in maximum nerdness

It shouldn’t freaking matter at all. There will be zero excuse to lose to a 13 or 14 seed

Feel that. Same here Jimbo

Id rather play mid major. Hopefully some slow academic school over athletic underperforming p5 group that can face guard us out to the three point line.

Talking about second round, bud. UNC and UCLA aren’t projected 14 seeds. Wasn’t arguing the inverse to begin with. Was simply citing a preference based on observation

Ah, gotcha. In that case I agree!

 

[NoahColeLiam2024!]

I hope we play the last possible game Friday and Sunday. At least that has been my wish the last few years under Cal. Let me enjoy as much of it as I can before we lose and I sulk the rest of the tournament.

 

[Noahtogo24]

Kansas 3 seed
Michigan 6 seed
Please

 

[Kats23]

hopefully they just have the selection show and not 1 hour of talk before they start the brackets.

 

[JimboBBN]

Here we go. Top overall?

If UNC makes this whole process is a joke

 

[BigBlue1992]

I fully expect to see two of St Johns, BYU, and Louisville in our region.

 

[Yardeth]

I could see them putting St Johns and Arkansas in the same bracket. Hell all three could end up in the same bracket

Along with Memphis

 

[onearmedjesus]

5...4...3...2...1 - Get it on!!!

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

RIP Greg Gumble

 

[JimboBBN]

Damn. Gonna cut onions on here before the brackets. RIP Greg

 

[Crawfords Corner]

TY GREG GUMBEL!!!!!!

 

[RoyKent]

Ah man….Greg Gumbel was the GOAT.

RIP

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Weird not having Greg this year. RIP.

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

If Seth Davis uses this show to push expanding the tourney I will drive to the studio they are at and punch him in the damn face.

 

[Farsight]

Damn Greg
