Whoa! UAB is in! Nice surprise!

 

[Bravesfan]

#14 seed Indiana St. to play #3 Syracuse.

#14 seed Indiana St. to play #3 Syracuse.

Sycamores will be one and done I'm thinking.

 

[Bravesfan]

Sycamores will be one and done I'm thinking.

Probably, but that's why you play the games.

And maybe still a glimmer of hope for MSU with UAB being chosen. But then again CUSA finished a bit higher than the Valley did this year.

If I were Illinois, I would be VERY nervous right now!

 

[BuB]

Goergia a 10 seed. Most had them on the bubble.

 

[Fetz86]

Michigan an 8? Does that seem high to anybody else? Playing Tennessee as a 9? Am I that out of touch that those seedings feel way to high for them?

 

[BU FAMILY]

Not looking good for Missouri State. Hello N.I.T.

 

[BradleyJD]

UAB is a pathetic selection.

 

[Bravesfan]

UAB is a pathetic selection.

That I agree, though I'm happy it could be another mid-major at-large bid, but hopefully not at the expense of say a St. Mary's or someone else.

And if they picked UAB, you would think they would also pick Missouri St. and/or Harvard. Harvard has better non-conference wins than the other two, and MSU has the same credenitals as UAB. So yes, UAB is an interesting pick, and I think it has a lot to do with CUSA being a top 10 conference.

Oops, did I say conference affilation played into their selection?!

Haha Kansas has to play another BU!!!

Also Illinois in....you've got to be kidding me...

 

[Buesch N Chips]

Wholly puke. IL plays Lon Kruger, then Bill Self.

Yeah, and at #9 as well! Not even close to the bubble! :roll:

Well VCU gets in which is also a nice surprise. But that might mean trouble for St. Mary's and Virginia Tech. We'll see. No Old Dominion yet either, but they should show up shortly.

There is only room for 1 of these 5...

Colorado
Michigan State
Alabama
St. Mary's
Virginia Tech

I think it'll be Michigan State. Alabama 2nd choice. Seeds so far from Big 12/ACC don't support Colorado or Virginia Tech.

 

[BUfan14]

Michigan an 8? Illinois a 9? Boy the selection committee must love the B10

 

[Bravesfan]

Wholly puke. IL plays Lon Kruger, then Bill Self.

Yeah, I'm sure that was planned too!

If Weber can win these two games, then he deserves a lifetime contract at Illinois!

 

[BU FAMILY]

Wholly puke. IL plays Lon Kruger, then Bill Self.

Let's hope that the Illini don't get the chance to face Bill Self in the 2nd round - another Kansas first round upset at the hands of BU!

Agree...just don't see the committee picking St. Marys

Time to find out.

 

[bigdaddystuck]

Go Utah St.....a good 5-12 upset pick!

 

[Fetz86]

Michigan St in too, B11 hit the jackpot.
