Purdue's late game decisions are baffling here

Bruce Weber school of coaching

 

[sf2fanatic]

Smh refs. Purdue gets called for pinky touch yet Michigan St doesn't get called for touching hip on the block.

Gene Keady tree.

Yep

One seeds: KU, UNC, MSU, who am I forgetting?

 

[Mac the KNife]

That was the textbook definition of misery.

But no one got hurt. Won the BTT. Rest up for next week.

Go Green!

Purdue melted down in the last minute. From Swanigan hoisting up one of the worst 3s of the season, to Hammond loafing down the court off the missed FT to give up the DREB to Valentine, to taking 8 seconds to take a shot down 4 when you need to extend the game, just a horrendous crunch time performance.

Oregon.

Midwest: KU
East/South: MSU
South/East: UNC
West: Oregon

Potentially yeah. Either Oregon or Virginia. I think those two teams are 4/5 interchangeably right now.

Ah.

Oregon or UVa? Maybe give it to the Pac1X for political reasons, but IMO Virginia is the better team.

 

[Proelite]

That was awesome. Murray and Ulis are so good.

We're somehow going to be a top 16 seed and we're ranked #1 on KenPom for offense all because of Murray and Ulis.

It's a shame this is the worst group of interior players Calipari's had at UK. Like by far the worst. Nerlens Noel alone on the NIT team was a million times better than all the bigs combined this year.

Hey can we combine teams and enter together? We can keep the Duke name since UK is already in it.

Well start Plumlee, Poythress, Murray, Allen, and ULis.

With Ingram, Briscoe, and scrubs off the bench.

 

[Dan]

Purdue made that last minute pretty easy, but I'll take it.

On to March Madness!

 

[Bowser]

I think you give it to Oregon over UVa because they won both their regular season and conference tournament. If you've got similar resumes, I think you've got to reward the double champ over a team that didn't win either.

In case it wasn't clear, that's what I meant by "political reasons". Reward the conference champ, committee usually loves that shit.

Ah ok. I'm surprised UVa's losses outside the top 50 get glossed over so much when talking about their resume. I mean, they've got 4 losses from 51-100, 7 losses overall, and, as stated, didn't win any conference accolades. Yeah, they've got some good top 50 wins too, but I think on balance their resume is closer to a 2 than a 1.

 

[thefro]

lol, the main CBS selection people are dumb

I'd take the field over Kansas, UNC, MSU, and Kentucky at this point.

 

[Brian Fellows]

Nobody has been talking about the big ten Chuck.

It's been a known down year. Most years a team that goes 10-8 like Michigan did and then knocks off the top seed in the BTT isn't sweating like Michigan is right now.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

UNC #1 in the East
Kansas #1 in the South
Virginia #1 in the MidWest
Oregon #1 in the West

 

[Bowser]

KU #1 in the South wtf?!

Ugh, kill me.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Wow, snubbed.

 

[DominoKid]

UVA getting a 1 seed is a joke.

 

[RellyRell28]

Wow Michigan St. not getting a 1 seed

 

[Surge]

Should have been Michigan St. over Virginia

 

[Brian Fellows]

Yep Sparty robbed. Izzo will use it though.

 

[RellyRell28]

Wow so this is the shittiest set of 1 seeds with 23 combined losses

 

[reKon]

Oregon as #1 over MSU. GTFO hahahah my goodness

 

[Mac the KNife]

If MSU lands as a #2 in the Midwest with Virginia I might forgive the committee.

 

[Karl2177]

I'm guessing WVU, OU, MSU, and Nova are the 2 seeds, but what location would each one get? Nova east, WVU south, MSU midwest, OU west?

 

[Plinko]

LOL MSU got screwed.

 

[thefro]

The regional seeding is going to be very interesting given how close Chicago & Louisville are.

 

[RellyRell28]

Let's see where Wisconsin and Green Bay will end up at.

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Kansas kinda got screwed there. Should be heading to Chicago instead of Louisville.

 

[thefro]

Iowa can do some major damage in this draw if they right the ship... could lose to Temple easily too.

 

[DominoKid]

Michigan State may as well stay home if they're our 2 seed.

 

[bucknuticus]

If vandy can get it I still have hope for us!

 

[Plinko]

Kansas kinda got screwed there. Should be heading to Chicago instead of Louisville.

Darren Rovell just tweeted that Kansas fans were buying Chicago regional tickets in droves

:lol :lol

 

[LionPride]

How in the hell did Vandy make it

 

[RellyRell28]

Lol at that Lil Wayne/Wesley Snipes commercial

 

[Karl2177]

Iowa can do some major damage in this draw if they right the ship... could lose to Temple easily too.

If Iowa continues their February/March play, then 90% of the team doesn't even get on the bus.

 

[Mrbob]

Man they are really dragging out the brackets this year.

 

[RellyRell28]

Man they are really dragging out the brackets this year.

Holy crap I just realized this is 2 hours long too. Why?

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Man they are really dragging out the brackets this year.

You know its gonna take awhile when the show is 2 hours long.

 

[sf2fanatic]

UVA getting a 1 seed is a joke.

They were saying yesterday before Nova lost that Virginia was one of the choices being a 1 seed.

 

[DominoKid]

Man they are really dragging out the brackets this year.

Holy crap I just realized this is 2 hours long too. Why?

the actual reveal should be done by like 630. they're just fucking around with interviews and predictions for the other hour.

that said if the next region they go through isn't UNCs then im out.

They were saying yesterday before Nova lost that Virginia was one of the choices being a 1 seed.

the only way i would've given them the 1 is if MSU didn't win their conf title and UVA did.

 

[Surge]

Let someone else make the picks on the screen please

 

[LOLDSFAN]

2 hours of flubbing the touch screen.

 

[Mac the KNife]

CBS should be ashamed of themselves for this dreck. Do we really need to watch Charles Barkley fill out his bracket?

 

[bucknuticus]

This is bullshit, just announce the fucking brackets

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Julia Alonzo ‏@juliaalonzo_ 2m2 minutes ago
Imagine being behind Charles Barkley in the self checkout line at the grocery store

Dead.

 

[Surge]

Another hour and a half of this shit

 

[Purple Cheeto]

CBS getting savaged on Twitter:

Stewart Mandel ‏@slmandel 1m1 minute ago
Thursday's games will tip off and we still won't know the 12 seed in the West.

 

[RellyRell28]

Lol it would of been perfect to make Wisconsin the 8/9 seed in Oregon's bracket.
