2013-14 NCAA Basketball Season Thread: Hanging By a Leg

[Tyche]

Louisville with a 20% chance to win it all! as a fucking 4 seed. The highest of the field.

[Headspace]

higher than gata, cmoon

[Akiyama]

I guess beating the shit outta Rutgers and the AAC or whatever the fuck conference it was means you da best.

[Arvin]

6min til bracket time someone make a thread omg

[Furionstormrage]

NC State 0.0001% chance of winning it all.

The best? No. A top 12 team? I would fucking hope so. Buy alas, the committee doesn't even have them there.

[Tyche]

Especially winning 12 of, I think, the last 13 with the only loss a choke job on the road at Memphis after having an 8 point lead with 3 to go. If you dont think UL is a top 10 team, you haven't watched basketball.

[Arvin]

lou and msu could easily have been 2 seeds, easily. look at their overall records and actually look at the games they played.. both got stuck with a 4 seed but it doesnt matter cause theyre still better than most of the 1,2,3 seeds

hey

[Mertron]

just saw wsu bracket, lol

[Plow]

whoever that was that said they didn't rig it to make it harder for wsu is 100% full of shit, and it's not like we haven't known they would for months either with the utter refusal to allow them even a chance at #1 overall

[Moss]

Shockers will win it all anyway #believe

[archibaldcrane]

Plows conspiracy theories and Tyche's outrage that his team got seeding wrong by a single seed are competing for my favorite things about the bracket so far.

[Tyche]

I'm sure its just my outrage. Not the topic of every fucking column on every sports news outlet.

Feel bad for Wake Forest now. UL is going to steamroll that shitstain of a school all because they're AD has no idea how to seed a tournament.

[6souls]

[archibaldcrane]

It's one damn seed, who cares? I'm sure New Mexico felt they should have a 6 seed instead of a 7 (while SDSU got a 4 despite losing in the tournament to them) but that would be annoying. You're off the handle on this lol.

[Roranora]

Ever think they're only a 4 seed just to be able to stuff and add to the stout Midwest?

Got Duke and Mich there too along with WSU.

plow+tyche go

People were debating their one seed viability this morning. I thought 2 was most likely with 3 being the bottom. UL is the only team that has gotten this fucked on seeding when compared to their AP and Coaches ranking. And they've fucked them twice (2005, 4 seed, final four anyway). UL was 1 in sagarin, 2 in kenpom, 3 in AP, 3 in Coaches. But since the committee uses the fucking outdated RPI, UL is a 4. UL would have literally been better off and improved their RPI more by getting blown out by a Florida or Kansas than by blowing out Connecticut and Rutgers. Losses>Wins. RPI for life.

[Mertron]

yeah well thatll teach you to blow out RUTGERS

jerks

[Tyche]

Should have just played KU and rested our starters. Would have been better for our RPI. Maybe wed have gotten a 3.

FWIW, UL was 13 in the S curve. So, thanks for not putting UL with Florida I guess?
