NCAA Selection Show

[GoCats1982]

Put all thoughts here on the selection show! Let the excitement begin!!!

[shocker3]

They opened the show by saying there were lots of surprises.

I hope that is good news and not bad news.:valley: :bears: :braves: :jays: :panthers: :salukis: :shockers: :valley:

[mproviz]

when is it supposed to start? It's on ESPN right?

[jelly_81]

It's on CBS and it started about 2 minutes ago

[GoCats1982]

It's on CBS right now, about to reveal the Atlanta Bracket I believe!

[shocker3]

It's on CBS right now.

They have already seen the field and Seth Davis who had predicted 6 Valley teams, said "there are a lot of surprises"

I don't think that bodes well for us. I hope I am wrong.:valley: :braves: :jays: :bears: :panthers: :salukis: :shockers: :valley:

[GoCats1982]

all autos in the Atlanta Bracket except A&M. Go Salukis!

[mproviz]

SIU 11 seed??

[shocker3]

So far NO Valley at large bids.:valley:

[jelly_81]

I think we're in big trouble

:valley: :salukis: :braves: :jays: :bears: :panthers: :shockers: :valley:

[mproviz]

wow I thought SIU would get 8 or maybe 9 seed

[Nyghtewynd]

SIU with only an 11. This is REALLY bad. No bad at-large selections, though.

[Canevision]

It looks bad for MSU with SIU being only an 11 seed.

Hopefully, the surprises won't be the Valley with only 3 bids.

[DavidB]

Yeah, this is a lousy start. It's looking very bad for mid-majors. Syracuse with a 5, and A&M in, and SIU #11. That's about as bad as it can get.

[Yoshi]

Real bad. Bye, bye Bears.

[GoCats1982]

True, lets see what the next bracket has in store before we start freaking out!!

[barkeep1967]

GW an 8 seed is also not a real good sign.

Hey I will take West Virginia and then Iowa. Not a bad draw for SIU.

[Canevision]

NIT, here we come.

Just stop even using the RPI after today.

[engrshock]

I thought SIU would get a 9 seed as well. However the matchup could be worse. The bad losses at the start of the season rather than the finish must have ruled. :salukis:

[engrshock]

Bradley is in against KU. :braves:

[mproviz]

Bradley vs. KU! Go Braves!!:braves:

[bigbearfan]

not looking good.

[Trifecta]

ooooh tough draw Bradley :braves: :braves:

[Nyghtewynd]

Alabama getting a 10 is just brutal. And, like I said, there's no rational way you should put BU in over MSU unless you can't read. It's looking like MSU is going to get the short end.

[mproviz]

hmm we should see 2 MVC bids next bracket.

[mproviz]

if we were getting 6, I think we would have seen 1 more bid by now.

[DavidB]

Well, Bradley in means the Valley gets 4 teams at least. I still say MSU has a better resume than Bradley, but surely UNI is in ahead of them. Unless the committee decided just to go for the complete screw job.

[GoCats1982]

I hope the Shockers get a 7 seed, I'm thinking we'll see one MVC team in each of the last two brackets(WSU,UNI), I have a feeling MSU and Creighton will be left out, unfortunately.

[GoCats1982]

UAB gets a 9!!!????!

[Nyghtewynd]

That will sound (most likely) the end of MSU's season. Air Force? Are you freaking kidding me? Utah State? Seton Hall as a *10*? What a freaking joke.

[Yoshi]

Air Force is nuts. :chair:

[Trifecta]

Well Shockers, time to prove Digger and Bilas wrong. Make sure to rock Seton Hall to show them the Valley can hang:shockers: :valley:

[GoCats1982]

I think we're gonna see UNI get a 11 seed and that will be it for the MVC.

[Nyghtewynd]

If we don't get in, Bill Rowe should resign effective immediately. Or sooner.

[cusportsfan]

This selection year is a joke with what they have projected so far

[gosmsgo]

why should rowe resign?

Its this bull**** about you have to be in a big conference or else.

texas a and m?

that is the dumbest f--------- thing I have ever seen in my entire 25 years.

[Yoshi]

Sorry Bears. What a screw job.

:ranting:

[GoCats1982]

UNI against Georgetown....That will be a very difficult matchup.

[jt45]

Wow! There was not much love for the Valley at all! I didn't think MSU was in but the seeds for UNI, SIU and BU i thought was very low. What the F*(K is up with Air Force and Alabama.....unbelieveable!

[KochHead]

biggest. screw. job. ever. :bears:

[gosmsgo]

so is it over?

[jt45]

They either need to scrap the RPI or just flat out admit it doesn't mean ****!

[KochHead]

the problem is it meant everything until the mvc broke up the party.

[Hooloovoo]

:ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: :ranting:

[gosmsgo]

This is so stupid.

the bears finish tied for 2nd place and have the highest rpi and dont make it.

being in the valley sucks. there I said it.

we could be a weak *** team in the big 12 and at least have a couple shots at ku and texas and have 10000 chances to make the tournament.

In the mvc you can be awesome and still be at home jerking off.

[Trifecta]

What a job....Valley gets jobbed on # of bids, seedings, and all pretty tough matchups. So the comittee has basically set us up for failure. Now we have to go out and make sure we don't prove all the pundits right.

[Mc Bulldog]

That's way wrong. And the idiots are ripp'n the MVC on TV saying they can't believe we got 4 .. like we didn't deserve it!

Sorry for the Bears .. very wrong!

[cusportsfan]

What a freaking joke, Air Force in that is the biggest laugh I think out of the whole thing, not one win against at top 50 rpi team, not that the RPI means anything.


All I can say is WSU, UNI, BU and SIU go and kick some big boy a**

[Yoshi]

How does Air Force get in over MSU or CU?

:ranting:

[DSMPanther01]

Seton Hall and Air Force, Give me a break!!!!!

All of our seeds are low, we are going to have to win and show everyone how good the valley is.:valley:

[WSUbballer]

Utah State and Air Force baffle me. I'm guessing some sorry west coast people wanted to even out the field. Wow, what a hose job. Valley has to show well or we're all gonna look like idiots. Game on for the Four..

[mproviz]

george mason getting in doesn't surprise me, especially since they have the GM AD on the selection committee... :glare:

[shocker3]

Billy Packer and Jim Nantz are now complaining about the six bids the Valley and CAA did get.:valley:

[CincyShocker]

I just lost all respect for Jim Nantz. What a freaking jerk!!! I would expect this out of Fudge Packer but not Nantz.

[Hooloovoo]

I love how they are comparing the ACC record to the Sweet 16 with the Valley. Earth to idiots: ACC HAS HAD MUCH BETTER SEEDS!!! OF COURSE THEY WILL WIN MORE!!!!! :cursing:

[jt45]

I think SIU got the shaft somewhat with an eleven seed. They really must have took into account the losses in Alaska. I don't think that The Salukis would have been in without winning the tourney! Wow, I still can't believe it! MSU 20 rpi out, unbelieveable!

[dirty white boy]

Jim Nantz needs a ***** slapping. He was all bent out of shape, looked like he was about to cry.

[DSMPanther01]

UNI and WSU both play teams from the Big East, we need to represent and show the talking heads we deserve to be there and should have had higher seeds!!:panthers: :salukis: :shockers: :braves:

[CincyShocker]

I can't believe Nantzy was trying to say the MVC had a weak OOC schedule. Just another BCS whore trying to discredit mid-majors!

[Hortonfldhse]

I don't think Gtown is all that, I saw them vs Illinois and if UNI brings the D, the Hoyas won't score more than 50

[Little Eddie]

Good luck to the Shockers, Salukis, Braves and Panthers...can only hope we get a few wins out of you guys...

Bears and us will do our best to prove them wrong in the NIT...thanks to the Shocker fans that haven't come over to our board to rub it in. There's only been one so far...if there's more it's no biggie. I can ignore ya.

[WSUbballer]

I think Jimmy and Billy need to be hired as schedule advisors for Valley schools so they can schedule us the big boys. Apparently their d-bag views don't understand how hard it is to beef up the schedules. They can both suck a big one or two or themselves..

[Yoshi]

If there are any Bears fans still lurking, has Barry spoken out yet? :blowup:

What a load. :bears:

[JayPak]

GW an 8 seed is also not a real good sign.

Hey I will take West Virginia and then Iowa. Not a bad draw for SIU.
A very bad draw for SIU. Three senior dominated teams in WVA, IA, and NW St. Salukis by far the youngest. WVA a team that can shoot right over Salukis. I know what I'm talking about. Saw CU play them last year.
