Selection Show thread

Odd commercial about the women’s national championship. Are they telling us we need to watch more?

 

[bac2therac]

Our team selection party seemed to have the worst set up so far of teams shown What are we doing we have a brand spanking new facility gives these guys some digs!

Bad start for the effiency bracketologists

 

[RUTrack94]

Alabama doesn't scare me..finishing poorly

Surprised BAMA is a 6th seed … and ND an 11th seed … ND went 15-5 in ACC and BAMA went 9-9 in SEC

 

[Danprusa_4]

RRRRRRR

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

Davidson a 10 is a joke

Agree but would no be surprised if they beat MSU…also way over seeded

 

[RUfan1027]

Gives Geo and Ron hopefully one extra game for us!

As long as we get in im happy. Actually looks like efficiency metrics teams doing pretty well.

How is OSU a 7? I see them losing right away.

 

[cicero grimes]

Iowa should have been a four. They keep shooting they are going to be a tough out.

 

[Shell21]

Iowa an easy sweet 16 ride. They will kill the friars

 

[rufeelinit]

Thought Iowa would be higher than a 5 seed.

 

[Rokodesh]

Better resume

Apparently Michigan had the fifth hardest schedule

Gotta be #woke and watch minor league sports, you sexist bastard

 

[Rokodesh]

Can someone explain to me how Buffalo New York is in the west regional?

I don't understand these geographics at all

 

[newell138]

No Indiana yet?

Now that men can play women's sports just more games to watch

It’s west NY

 

[cicero grimes]

Its a wide open tournament.

The location refers to the Sweet 16/Elite 8 site. The first two rounds are all over.

I used to watch when we were more competitive and the overall field was more competitive.

 

[ClassOf02v.2]

Indiana getting nervous? Another play-in?

 

[RUJMM78]

Joke we are seeded below Michigan

Its not a joke because Michigan had a far better NET score.

 

[bac2therac]

Borderline 4/5..basically with Providence..cant complain

 

[fluoxetine]

I used to watch when we were more competitive and the overall field was more competitive.

The commercial didn’t even really make sense as the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP game was obviously on TV

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

UM slotted above RU tells me there is still blue blood bias.

No it tells me there schedule was way more than 1 game harder than ours. Michigan absolutely deserves to be above us.

 

[bac2therac]

Indiana getting nervous? Another play-in?

I say Indiana a&m

Sf and wyoming getting worried but i think the former is in

Yeah could have showcased something nicer in the background. But we're still kinda new at this.

Still not clear if we're Tues or wed

The pod system. I think they are trying to get more attendance by localizing the early rounds - been happening for a few years.

Assuming you're serious, this was done a number of years ago, to help reduce the travel for teams and obviously allow more fans to see their teams in person. It doesn't always work out that way, but it's a big improvement vs the old way.
Rather than think of the 4 corners of the brackets as directions, think of them as A, B, C & D.
The geography is relatively irrelevant, at least for the first 2 rounds.

 

[bac2therac]

Play ins

Wyoming indiana

 

[Rokodesh]

Thank you Coaches and Team for making this day exciting

 

[cicero grimes]

Wow Wyoming made it.

 

[bac2therac]

Is San Fran not getting in

ya, I think it's just all these commercials are promoting the fact that no one watches women's sports on TV. Are they gonna pay me to watch? Don't get it

LOL girls basketball.

 

[Scarlet83]

Playing the Irish the night before St. Patrick’s day? I dunno.

The Irish’s green beer the next day is gonna taste like being curb stomped.

 

[anon_xekqhstck0ygt]

Still not clear if we're Tues or wed

its Wed as the game vs Bama is Friday

They score some political points by pretending that people don’t watch because of sexism or whatever instead of the fact that a HS boys team could win that tournament
