Re: Selection Sunday Thread

Michigan State is a #1 seed for the 4th time. What happened the other 3 times you ask?

Yes. Final Four every time.

Tough road for us to win the National Championship. We got this!

Glad to see Digger Phelps picked out Kentucky's schedule for the tournament.

Re: Selection Sunday Thread

UNC has a cakewalk if they just get past Creighton. Only other teams I see that can challenge them at all is Kansas and NC State. So much parity this year though so who knows.

Syracuse has the 2nd easiest road.

I don't think Creighton can defend well enough to beat UNC. It's very hard to out score UNC even though Doug McDermott is amazing.

Maybe if UNC is just off and Creighton is on fire, but that's just a horrible matchup for Creighton and plus I don't even know if they beat Alabama.

I think NC State has a reasonable shot to make the Sweet 16. I'm liking Murray State in the Sweet 16. If Gonzaga can get by West Virginia I think Gonzaga will give Ohio State plenty of fits considering their height and skill level.

I'm very, very intrigued by New Mexico vs Long Beach State. I was going to pick LBSU over their first round opponent but New Mexico is a good basketball team.

Mizzou scares the bejeesus out of me. Other than that, I'm quite happy with MSU's draw.

Cincinnati is going to have some work to do before, but I would love to see the possible OSU-Cincinnati match-up.

Re: Selection Sunday Thread

Yeaaah I'm not sure you want to overlook FSU given they have a bunch of experience, depth, and beaten UNC/Duke each twice.

If FSU plays the way they have as of late I like their bracket

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Re: Selection Sunday Thread

First bracket I filled out, have a final four of:
Michigan State > Baylor
Kansas > Syracuse

Kansas > Michigan State in the title game.

Had Kentucky losing in the 2nd round to Iowa State and UNC losing to Kansas in the Elite 8. I think the biggest upset I had was Belmont > Georgetown.

[Marino]

Love our draw, SDSU then Georgetown/Belmont.

So happy to be back in the tournament! Almost had a heart attack, of course we would be the last team shown.

Re: Selection Sunday Thread

I'm feeling conspiracy all over my body.

Obama and ESPN helped pick out UNC's bracket.
Mateen Cleaves picked out Mich St's.
Digger picked out Uk's.

In all seriousness, I'm excited to have a shot at UCONN, Indiana, and possibly Duke. But, really.. it is kind of eye opening, maybe I'm bias, but that freaking south region is loaded.

Re: Selection Sunday Thread

I was expecting a 6 or 7 seed for Memphis, but I think Michigan St is a winnable game for them so I'll take it. Memphis has played exceptional to end the season, they're on a 7 game winning streak and in those 7 games they have won by an average of almost 25 points per game.

Just got home, so I need to take a look at the rest of the bracket.

As an MSU fan... Memphis is the only team I am slightly worried about in that half of the bracket, if we are going to get upset prior to the Elite eight, that'd be the one IMO. They have a ton of talent.

I agree with you there, I don't see them having trouble with anyone in their bracket except Missouri who I would pick to make the Final Four out of that bracket.
