***OFFICIAL NCAA SELECTION SHOW THREAD***

[BigD]

If we beat Tennessee and UMass, we'd likely get 3-seed Duke in the second round.

thank you

That game would be awesome. Both teams are great offensively and neither can stop anyone.

Bwahahaha play in.

There's starving and abused kids all over the world. Maybe you should check that out and add a little more joy to your day, you're doing a poor job of trolling.

trolls stfu

beat the vols

 

[bcl20]

Tennessee having only two days to prepare for us could actually work out very well for our team.

 

[sportstalent]

This. A play-in loss isn't a real tournament appearance.

It is a NCAA tournament bid weather anyone thinks it is or not.

It is a NCAA tournament bid weather anyone thinks it is or not.

Because perception doesn't matter at all.

If we play Wednesday, and win, we play UMass on Friday, win and probably Duke on Sunday.....

Three games in five days.....

After the Duke win, we probably play Michigan again, then will probably have to beat Louisville to get to the Final Four.....

I like our chances.....

Games are indoors. Weather is not a factor.

Committee dude essentially saying a team like Iowa over SMU because SMU Out of Conf SOS was in 300s...

How do the play-in games work. Do the losers go to NIT?

 

[docholihawk]

Lol seriously? Some of you guys are pathetic. Nebraska has been playing damn good basketball while Iowa has been crapping down their legs.

I could care less if it is a play in game. Bring it on. At least the Hawks have a chance.

I agree with what you're saying, however selection is supposed to be based on the whole resume of the teams. It's obvious the people who were in the selection process didn't approach it that way.

Losers = got screwed out of a NIT 1 seed.

When it comes to this sort of thing it doesn't really matter at all.

Play In game in by far the toughest region, ouch

Everyone (non Iowa fans) will look at their brackets and see Iowa/Tennessee. Winner is in, loser is not. That's reality. And it sux.

 

[seepig]

I'm anxious to see if our Beloved Hawks can find themselves for one last stretch like they did in the NIT last year. If they can all last season swooning could be totally erased!

Their non conf sos was't that bad. Winning at MSU meant a lot. Beating Wisky meant a lot.

HA!

 

[1hawkeye1]
