3 seed is indefensible…shame on selection committee!!

[VOLnMiami]

Texas A&M losing out to a 18-14 Michigan team is absolutely criminal

I totally agree...Thats some serious crap there.

 

[volman128]

Kentucky beat the ever loving crap out of us mid season...How did that turn out for them?

And we beat them two other times. Not remotely the same as Nova, who we obviously have only played once. Nova is a better team than Kentucky, anyway.

I think this committee had this wrote out on Friday night and took the rest of the weekend off. Just erased a couple of names and wrote in Richmond and whoever else and handed it to CBS

No their not

I see a path to the Elite 8 though.

 

[HiltonHeadVol]

I have a theory that the committee wanted to allow Michigan into the tourney to give their thug Head Coach a chance to redeem himself and win a couple of games so Mich could justify retaining him. This was all pre-ordained. UM was going to get in. Screw A&M I guess

 

[OldandStillaVol]

Like most things associated with the NCAA, it’s just a screwed up process. You’ll never get them to even tell you whether the seedings are based on the overall season or on how a team is doing at the current point in time, or some weighted combination of those 2 things. No, they would rather it depend on a committee of biased people meeting a lot over weekends. Nothing wrong with that approach?!?

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Garbage selection committee makes a garbage bracket. It's simple.

 

[Alto1]

ESPN actually was defending us and saying that was too low.

Their commentators were, but their basketball analyst who has influence with the selection committee “Lunardi” was against us getting a higher seed.

 

[golfballs]

There is literally 0 logical explanation for this seed list. It is entirely based on the whims of corrupt college administrators

 

[BACKDOC]

At least Dickie V scolded them on snubbing us.

They don’t care. The selection committee SEC reps are from Kentucky and Alabama. They did their job

 

[Orange-U-Glad]

Lunardi flat admitted that Duke and KY were seeded ahead of us because they are Duke and KY. Earlier this year I thought Duke was the best team in country. Not now. They appear to have quit. On the other hand, the Vols are playing their best ball. If they play like they have this week, they can certainly make the F4. Living well is the best revenge. I am ready to ride the BIG ORANGE BLOSSOM SPECIAL!

Speaking of Bama; kinda funny that Auburn is playing Jax St. They are very close to one another; in fact they played in football this year.

 

[JohnWardForever]

So if A&M wins today vs UT, A&M Gets; IN, and UT is STILL A 3 ? A&M Got Jobbed worse than Tennessee, and Tenn definitely got jobbed. Bama over A&M? JOKE!

Michigan over aTm? 17-14? SMDH

 

[SDV]

Michigan over aTm? 18-14? SMDH

Horse ****

 

[JohnWardForever]

Was this bracket made last week?

BINGO!! Lazy ass Ncaa already had it done, that's so obvious when you see bama as a 6, and A&M Left OUT!

 

[2EastTnVols]

I guess they feel bad about their loser coach getting suspended earlier.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Not going to lie, I'm really excited/intrigued by the Murray St./San Fran game. That should be a fun game to watch. Not very often you get two mid majors in the first round, especially two good ones.

 

[JohnWardForever]

You think playing Nova, who beat the ever loving crap out of us earlier in the season, in the S16 is a cakewalke?

Tennessee isn't the same team that lost to nova. I see UT winning this time by 12.

I wanted to see Michigan and Memphis ball up their fists against each other.

Put me down for Murray!

 

[Sudden Impact]

It is quite obvious that this is a personal thing regarding Rick Barnes....I don't think they respect him and just give him lip service for show.

 

[lifeisdeep]

Imagine if Ohio State had been put into the playoff right after losing to Michigan, and Michigan was left out of the playoff. We’re still in the tournament; but this is no less shameful and dishonest than that would have been.
