Atlanta Braves Thread XI (Gary Sheffield edition)

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Christ. Freaking play in game.

 

[zjcvols]

BYU and Stanford as a ten seed over Tennessee is a joke

 

[005]

Let's do this

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

LOL @ Louisville a 4 seed. That is ridiculous.

That's a two seed. EASY

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

That's a two seed. EASY

They may win it all again this year.

 

[zjcvols]

Oh and if by a miracle Tennessee makes it to the sweet sixteen they will face Michigan.

**** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** ****

With a 17-14 record, how the hell was Georgetown even under consideration?

 

[zjcvols]

Vols play Wednesday.

How the hell did SMU not get in?

 

[bleedorange0037]

It's kind of mind boggling just how bad the SEC has become as a basketball conference. Only two teams in the traditional 64 team field plus us in a play-in game is pathetic.

It's been that way for about ten years.

I can't even name the last non Kentucky/Florida SEC team in the Final Four.

 

[zjcvols]

I think it was LSU in 2006.

Possibly Miss. St, but that's been almost 20 years ago.

Florida has a walk to the Elite Eight

 

[zjcvols]

Harvard will beat Cincy

 

[bleedorange0037]

I think it was LSU in 2006.

Wow, I think you're right. I literally had no memory of them making the Final Four.

 

[005]

Harvard will beat Cincy

Seems to be a popular pick

 

[zjcvols]

Wow, I think you're right. I literally had no memory of them making the Final Four.

That was the Tyrus Thomas/Glen Big Baby Davis team with John Brady as coach.

I remember that team now, but I had certainly forgotten about them until you mentioned them.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Extension coming for Cuonzo

 

[zjcvols]

This is how sad the committee was this year.

The bracket matrix showed NC State as being in just one bracket out of 78.

 

[zjcvols]

Extension coming for Cuonzo

That really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

If he doesn't make the tourney next year, barring a sweet sixteen/elite eight run in 2014, he will be fired.

Next year? I think the focus better be on actually making it to this year's tournament. At the start of the year most people expected at the bare minimum he needed to make the tourney to earn another year. To me, a play in game doesn't exactly fulfill that requirement.

FWIW, BPI had Tennessee as an 8 seed.

That's fair.

But he's not getting fired this year.
