Looks like the selection committee doesn't like Duke

[Malak]

Can anyone explain how UCLA got higher than Gonzaga?

UF has a pretty easy bracket. Of course, they'll probably get blown out early like usual.

tennessee is seeded too high. kansas too low.

maybe u dont watch conference tourneys

kansas won their conference tourney. they are a 4 seed. tennessee did not, they are a 2 seed. the correct line of rational for your argument should be "maybe you don't pay attention to their nonconference schedules" because that is the only thing that sets them apart.

i was talking about Duke, andyways.
I agree on Tenn. i still dont understand why they didnt switch Tenn with UNC.
kansas' has a pretty 'right' seed, i think. Just because they won a game against texas, should move them up. they were ranked 18 and texas 7. in a regular season game, it wont put them over texas for next week's rankings. To the committe, it should only be another game(s) added to the portfolio.

Maybe because TN had a #6 RPI and the #2 schedule in the NCAA. That said I'm still pretty surprised cause we stumbled down the stretch. UT did go 1-1 vs. the #1 seeds in this tourney, both on the road. I really expected a #4.

So does anyone have any light on how the selection committee places a team. I just know Cal is shafted by playing in the Atlanta region as a 7seed, but their going against NC state as the 10th seed.

That's pretty much a home game for NC state. Plus I don't get to see my team play (especially since they have a bracket in oakland this year )

Dude, don't worry. We are sucking ass right now.


With that said, go pack! I hope you can get to the 2nd round!

I'd love to be that confident too, but after watching Cal play UCLA... I just don't know who else on the team is going to step up besides Leon Powe.

Trust me. The last part of the season was a complete train wreck. We lost to the last place team in the league not once.....but twice. And the games werent even close.

The majority of the fan base is hoping this will be the last game with our wonderful coach of mediocrity, Herb Sendeck.

edit: I guess I sound a bit harsh, but after 10 years of this....it gets to you. Anyways...Go Pack!

LoL about how we're kinda dreading our team's performance.. if it makes ya feel better we lost to the last place team (with 1st place in the pac-10 at stake) in our home arena.

Haha, but it doesnt, because we lost to the last place team in the ACC....twice this season.

After seeing how Duke finished the season vs. Florida State, UNC, and then squeezing past Miami and BC, I don't feel confident in picking them to get Texas (or even Syracuse/LSU for that matter)

Only team Duke has to worry about in their region is Texas.

If they win that one, they got to lose to Kansas in the Final Four

Maybe 'cuse just because they're on their little cinderella run

:thumbsup:

Duke is overrated.
