How is marquette a 5 better than Nova

Love Murray State here

Marquette tanked the end of their season in an awful conference. They barely deserved to make the tournament, a 5 seed is a joke.

I disagree here. Like Marquette in this game. Probably 105-100. No sure Murray’s supporting cast is good enough.

I think seton hall caught a break playing Wofford in opening round. Winnable game. Not a fan of having squads who have played each other meet in round 2 a la seton hall vs Kentucky and mich state vs either Louisville or Minnesota. How could they do that with Minnesota.

Wofford will beat them

agree with you on that. There really was no reason to matchup SHU up with KY and Minny with Mich State albeit both 10s...reality says both SHU and Minny should have been 9s, they should have avoid rematches in 2nd rounds and its pretty easy for them to shift

Another puzzler is why at the bottom of the east region there are 3 big 10 squads. Also mich state can play Minnesota in round 2 if both win. Weird.

and Maryland in sweet 16...even though I think Maryland isnt getting that far

 

[G- RUnit]

Duke by far easiest path. Little surprised NC State and TCU.
Like that Belmont made it.
Auburn seed wacky.
So glad no Texas and Indiana.
Feel for NCGB and Lipscomb.
Well done BAC!

Respect your view Bac and certainly not taking Wofford lightly but they were 0-4 against teams that earned an at large bid this season. I’d rate this as a toss up.

As much as we may dislike Seton Hall, you have to admit that they are playing at a very high level. Wofford will fold easily.

Michigan State got screwed. End of discussion.

oops

statement from NCState AD Debbie Yow..of course she forgot to mention 353 sos and having only one quality win

 

[Night Man]

We can debate NCSt all day but... it was the 24 spot they put up

 

[bac2therac]

yes

I agree Phil-----also not a fan of Kansas playing in KC if they win 2 games.

I agree Magoo----pretty sure Murray St will be the 12 seed that gets the most play but personally I like Oregon.

What a whinner.

I'm not surprised regarding Iowa. They were really struggling at the end. I am however a little surprised with Villanova not getting at least a 5 seed, but I thought Cincy deserved to be a much higher seed.

I think your right Cincinnati got screwed big time . Should have been at worst a 5 seed.

Yeah I know

OOC wins vs Buffalo , Louisville , Wisconsin and Kansas State didn't happen.

TD who you got in the Hall/Wofford game?

 

[TDIrish27]

Rooting for Seton Hall but not overly confident

Someone other than Powell needs to have a good game offensively.
