Haha do you guys ever go back and read what you've posted..

Were a 6 seed.. Could have been alot worse, We hurt our selves when we we pretty much threw in the towel with 8 mins to go in the Kentucky game.. We were beat both times by Vandy and beat by USC...

With all the good we have done, we've also looked flat out horrible at times this year..

Be happy with a 6 seed..

After the Memphis game and the Incident, If you would have told me we would end up a 6 seed playing SDSU I wouldn't have taken it in a heart beat..

No way it could have been worse than a 6 seed.

The process of choosing the at larges is inherently subjective. The process of selecting the seeds is inherently subjective. Even the things you think are objective, like RPI, are not completely pure.

They take into account a number of variables, such as bad losses, good wins, conference finish, head -to-head, non-conference schedule and results, last 5, last 10, and on and on.

You can say that MSU beat Florida by 6 in mid-March. But I can point out to you that Florida beat MSU by 8 just a month earlier. You can say you beat Kentucky in the regular season, but they trounced you in the tournament.

All of these things matter, but you'll drive yourself crazy if you start trying to explain or reason out why the brackets are the way they are based on a perspective of one, two, or three of these criteria.

UF and MSU were both supposedly on the bubble. SO they go head to head at a neutral site and State wins. THAT should have been the deciding factor----IMO.

Are you complaining about people complaining?

Ten Hut!

I agree. This committee is a total farce. Is there a list somewhere of who these clowns are?

My biggest problem is there is no continuity to their explanations. No real rhyme or reason. For some teams they explain their recent success is why they were rewarded, but then turn around and award teams who have been terrible lately. Some teams they throw out their conference tournament performance, and some they weigh heavily. The real truth is that they do whatever the hell they want. And considering most of these guys aren't basketball guys, it's troubling. Forget expanding the tournament, start with fixing the selection committee!

Agreed. The chairman of the committee contradicted himself numerous times yesterday regarding how they made decisions. First he would say its about the "whole body of work", and next sentence he would say, "well this team won conference tournament." Its a crock

I was wondering the same thing! I think the committee is on drugs

Not that the committee actually followed any bracketing rules this time.

The selection committee is a joke.

I do find it interesting that these numb-skulls took the opportunity to drop UT like a rock; ignoring the fact we are the only team to beat both #1 and #2, and our record in the SEC, but then use the fact that Florida won one of two games against TENNESSEE, and that win alone qualified Florida to be included.

The cannot, and will not, try to explain it, but it is the best evidence of their total stupidity.

We did not play well against KY, but 30 foul shots to 15, and the timing of the fouls certainly gave KY all the help they needed.

Mike Hamilton and Slive should be raising cane about this injustice, but I expect them to sit quietly and allow this crap to continue.

Man, you guys sure do love the selection committee

Dang emain.

For someone with a schedule as full as yours,

Some of us have other responsibilities and don't take the time to read every post in this forum.

you sure did find some time to scour through every post in this thread.

My only true complaint is trivial, but here it is.

Baylor/ SHSU/ Texas get the short trip to NOLA.

K-state/ Kansas get to go to Oklahoma City.

aTm gets to go to beautiful Spokane freakin Washington.

But if they win they go to Houston for the regional.

Ever heard of "quitting time?"

 

[emainvol]

Hell, all I did was skim through this thread and originally had 8 or 9 posts quoted. In my scouring I decided that the closest thing to support of the selection committee was BPV rightly asserting that controversy is a boon for the NCAA.

We needed to play Swiperboy more. Would have helped us beat Georgia and USC
