Selection Show thread

[RUScrew85]

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.

Well except for Wisconsin.

 

[fatsam98]

its Wed as the game vs Bama is Friday

Now confirmed with Indiana/Wyoming winner playing Thursday

 

[Scarlet83]

Bad start for the effiency bracketologists

Yes. EFF efficiency crap. Watch the teams and who they beat or lose to.

 

[Shell21]

San Fran or Texas A& M out

 

[bac2therac]

Did Texas am not get in

 

[Shell21]

Yes. EFF efficiency crap. Watch the teams and who they beat or lose to.

F them

 

[fluoxetine]

Did Texas am not get in

Not unless they’re in the fifth region

 

[RUsojo]

Wow wow wow

 

[newell138]

Thank you Coaches and Team for making this day exciting

Yes! I went through a 20 year span where I didn’t even watch this show

 

[gregkoko]

San Fran or Texas A& M out

San Fran with a 10 seed is wild

 

[fluoxetine]

Did Davidson get bounced !?

No they were a 10 seed

 

[RUsojo]

LOL girls basketball.

Don’t be a D*ck

 

[fluoxetine]

Wow Dayton as first out

 

[Scarlet83]

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

Lolol!! NET blows.

 

[RUChoppin]

Did Texas am not get in

4th replacement team!

 

[fluoxetine]

Don’t be a D*ck

To be fair, this is the reaction they invite with those ads

it’s not like someone would just say it out of nowhere

 

[RUScrew85]

Don’t be a D*ck

Me and any four in this thread would win that "championship".

 

[fluoxetine]

So we were the 3rd to last in, Davidson didn’t screw us

 

[Zak57]

They were on last 4 in.

 

[bac2therac]

Indian last team in..wow

 

[RUsojo]

@bac2therac committee is kind of insane this year lol

 

[fluoxetine]

2nd to last team in.

No third, those were in reverse order

 

[bac2therac]

2nd to last team in.

I read it as third team in

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

TAMU out, thought they earned it

told y’all that Xavier would not

 

[Zak57]

No third, those were in reverse order

Got it yup!! You and Bac are correct.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

So we would have played Wyoming if Davidson had won? Indiana out of the play in. ND moves to 1st of the playin and Dayton would have moved in….and played in Dayton

 

[King of S]

Wow wow wow

Dayton first team out. Wow, almost 3 teams from A-10.

 

[RUsojo]

To be fair, this is the reaction they invite with those ads

it’s not like someone would just say it out of nowhere

No they don’t. Don’t blame a positive commercial for an a-hole response.

Me and any four in this thread would win that "championship".

That’s not the point don’t be a d*ck

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

I cannot believe A&M didn’t get in. And not even one of the first few out. Not consistent with where the SEC teams they beat are seeded. Oh well for them! Lol

 

[L&IC]

So how do we read the last 4 in?

 

[pigmasty83]

Did Richmond bump us into Dayton?

 

[cicero grimes]

We really had to sweat it out. 2nd to last team in.

 

[King of S]

Did Richmond bump us into Dayton?

No

 

[fluoxetine]

No they don’t. Don’t blame a positive commercial for an a-hole response.

That’s not the point don’t be a d*ck

Veering into politics here but the implied message of the ad is that we watch mens sports but not womens because “we” are sexists. When the reality is we don’t watch it because it’s far lower quality.

 

[RUPete]

Yes! I went through a 20 year span where I didn’t even watch this show

I always watched, well maybe not always, but it was depressing. Couldn’t watch “One Shining Moment” after awhile because I knew we were always so far away from having our name called.

No it’s not! Holy **** that’s projecting

 

[fluoxetine]

No it’s not! Holy **** that’s projecting

Ok.

What do you think they think the reason is that womens sports get less media coverage?

 

[Rokodesh]

I thought they were in for sure

 

[RUsojo]

Ok.

Tiny tiny tiny marketing and promotion budgets amongst many things

 

[Rokodesh]

We really had to sweat it out. 2nd to last team in.

Not really sweating they called us in the first five minutes
