NCAA BB Tournament
Brackets announced. I’m OK with Arizona’s 4 in the South, but would’ve rather seen them in the West where Meeshegun is sitting at 3.

As always, bunch of questionable selections and some baffling decisions on teams left out. I think Nebraska with a 22-10 record and a 13-5 record in the Conference should have got in before...Texas or Oklahoma. Penn State has a gripe too. Plenty of other head scratchers

Man, Kentucky got a tough bracket again.

This is my favorite time of year. The weather is turning warmer, baseball season is about to start, daylight savings gives me more daylight at night, and the NCAA tournament is here!!

And how do you put Syracuse, Virginia tech, and Florida state in all over Louisville? That’s a freakin joke.

The committee dissed my Spartans with a #3 seed, which will make them hungry and angry. Smile

Well, they had similar records. SU and FS did beat Louisville during the regular season. VT earned it easily with great wins over UVA, Dook, and Clemson. And Jim has always got a little magic up his sleeve.

How in the hell did Ok. St. not get in. That's blasphemy.

I'm glad my Gonzaga Zags got #4 in the west. I expect them to be in at least the Elite Eight or better again.

Well, Jimbo, I guess the Committee couldn’t let EVERY Big XII team with less than 20 wins in Wink

Both Ok St and Notre Dame should have been in ahead of Oklahoma and Syracuse


Kentucky vs Arizona in the second round is huge

UVA in spite of being the overall number one has a brutal potential sweet 16 matchup with Arizona

Zone’s big down low and ability to work inside out against the pack line could spell an early exit for my Wahoos which severaly piss off mg wife and son

They beat Oklahoma twice, Kansas twice and Florida St. They played like a top ten team the second half of the season. I'm not a big fan of the Cowboys but I think they deserved a shot is all.

KU pulled a 1 out of a hat this time. Wichita and then Omaha.

OU in and OSU out is some bullshit. That Trae Young schlong must taste nice to the committee

You are 100% right. No team in the Bill Self era has swept KU twice in a season. OSU did it with authority too. Not to mention they beat the dog shit out of OU in the conference tourney.

Oklahoma goes 3-12 in its last 15 games and gets in! I couldn’t agree more with you guys that Ok St should have got in before the Sooners, maybe Texas too

Here's hoping Boeheim goes home very early.

Considering its overall less than stellar season, and that “Slick Rick” Pitino’s transgressions caused the 2013 season championship to be nulled, it’s not surprising that Louisville didn’t get an invite to the NCAA Tourney.

Dook got another easy route again this year. And how the hell the Sooners got in is the mystery of the year.

You all mean the NACC tournament right?

How does unc a ten loss team get a 2 seed, lost regular season and acc tourney. How does Syracuse get in, ACC.

OK state got screwed by OK getting the Trey Lyle bid. Ok state should have been in over Syracuse they beat ok twice, Kansas twice, Florida state, they got hosed

If UL s out because of alleged action Pieteener then how does $100K AZ get in with the number one paid player in the NACC

Still a great NACC committee selection, all controversy, lots to whine about, great conversation lol

Actually I don't think Carolina or Dook should be seeded number 2. Probably 4 seeds. Ok State should have been be selected before a number of teams. Watch out for Kentucky

The allegation was reported by ESPN. No proven. Not to mention that they alleged the conversation occurred in 2017. Ayton had already signed with Arizona in 2016. FBI has said nothing to deny or confirm the allegations so the NCAA must wait until the feds finish their investigation.
