Selection Sunday: Open Game Thread

Here. We. Go.
The mission for a 3-seed will be determined a success or failure in about an hour. But, more imporantly, we get to see our matchup, our half of the bracket, all of the good stuff.
But that's just the beginning. Then comes the speculation and the arguments and the predictions and the analysis and, most importantly, the fun.
Because once the names drop on CBS, the fun starts. Here comes the most exciting three weeks of the year, no questions asked.
This is the best day of the year.
Oh, and let's see how accurate my bracket projection is, eh?
Come and talk about everything. Talk about Kansas' matchup, talk about Kansas' seed, talk about the bubblers that got screwed, talk about the teams that didn't deserve a bid, talk about whatever.
I'll be here.

Honestly, I'm scared we get a 4-seed.
I think it is entirely possible, and would suck sooo much.
As long as we get a 3-seed, I’m good. Not a huge difference between a 2 and a 3, and as long as we avoid the 4-seed I’m fine.

Not if we can get a good discussion going.
Here’s a thought- how has past seeding effected KU’s performance in the tournament, in your opinion?
I’ll give a good example- The Bradley game. While everyone remembers the embarassment of that game, people tend to forget that a LOT of people felt KU was screwed with its seeding that year. I believe they were a five seed (could be wrong), when a lot of “experts” thought they could be as high as a 3.
Maybe playing an easier team in round 1 lets that team get comfortable, and they make a nice run. Hard to say for sure, but this shit definitely matters.
by KennyGregoryRockThaCradle on Mar 15, 2009 4:05 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
We were a 4-seed.
But yeah, we probably should have gotten a 3-seed.
Hopefully the same thing doesn’t happen this time around.
by rockchalk on Mar 15, 2009 4:06 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
no they were a 4 I believe
and I remember that looking back, Bradley was seeded way too low, that’s how I felt we got screwed

Why doesn't Josh McDaniels get more crap for this?
Guy hasn’t done anything yet, but seems to be getting a free pass on all this because Cutler once said he thought his arm was stronger than Elway’s. Honestly, in the history of misdeeds by NFL players, that has to be waaaaaaay down the list.

Hang around MHR

KC would be great,

Is Minneapolis in the dome?
I’d prefer not to play first round in a dome, just cause it can mess with your shooting.
by KennyGregoryRockThaCradle on Mar 15, 2009 4:16 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah.
It’s in the Metrodome.
I don’t think we get into KC, either, but I suppose there’s about a 5% possibility.
Essentially, it would require us to pick up the final 2-seed instead of Oklahoma, or just be the highest 3-seed ahead of Missouri and Oklahoma.
I doubt it happens .

It will be good practice
for shooting in the dome in Detroit.

by Warden11 on Mar 15, 2009 4:17 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Agreed.
I think the Big 12 rankings go Oklahoma-Missouri-Kansas.
So, no way we pick up the final 2-seed. I just hope we get a 3-seed.

No way
I would have all kinds of problems with that.

They deserve it.
The Committee LOVES the Conference Tournaments in terms of value, and Kansas and OU both lost in the first round while Missouri won the damn thing.
Honestly, I think they SHOULD be ahead of Oklahoma. They aren’t, I don’t think, but they should.
by rockchalk on Mar 15, 2009 4:19 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Split in regular season
and they won the tournament. Also beat a “full strength” OU team.
They should get some kind of reward for winning the tournament.

As long as we get a 3-seed, I'll be happy.

We don’t need the “B” curse. That’d be terrible.

I bet the committee
intentionally puts us up against a “B” team, just to piss us off, and to see if it happens again.

Uh, no.
Like I said, they’re not.
And for two, the two HBCU conferences (SWAC and MEAC) are BY FAR times a million the two absolute worst conferences in college basketball. Isn’t even close.
They can’t play each other in the Play-In game because of a rule so at least one gets into the 64-team bracket, but both conferences are terrible.

Even though I think a few KU fans would root, quietly for MU then, they would still piss and moan for us to lose, just because they can’t get over the fact that we are better than them.

did our performance and Mizzou’s performance this weekend change anyone’s opinion on the two teams “ceilings” in the tourney.

Missouri beat the teams in front of them (unlike us), but they didn’t look great doing it.

We are very high-risk-high-reward.
I honestly believe that we really could play awesome for two weeks and make the FInal Four. Definitely, it could happen. Not likely whatsoever, but a possibility for sure.
Of course, we could also pull a Bucknell and lose in the first round.
Neither one would terribly surprise me.
As long as we make the second weekend, I’m good, personally.

No, ESPN is.
They wait until the entire CBS bracket is released, and then ESPN is “allowed” to show it and analyze it.
While CBS is at commercial, ESPN breifly analyzes it.
It’s just showed as SportsCenter because, technically, it is.
And then they have the two hours of gloriousness that I’ll be watching where Digger flips a bitch and Jay Bilas whines about some mid-major getting in. It’s awesome.

Good that we stayed away from the west, are in Minneapolis (10 minutes away from Cole’s home) and are a 3-seed.
Bad that we have to play terrible West Virginia in the second round, and that’s assuming that we can beat a tough NDSU team that has an outstanding scorer.

Saint Mary’s overall resume isn’t NCAA-worthy. It’s just not. If you JUST isolate the Patty Mills portion then yeah, they are, but he isn’t completely healthy. Thus, the whole season, and thus they get left out.
