I wouldn't like our chances for a deep run if we were a 4 or 5, Duke, Kentucky Maryland etc would be tough.

My thoughts exactly. Cal has a tougher draw.

Since we play the winner of a play in game does that mean we will play Froday/Sunday? Or does it not matter?

The RPI really hurt the Cats.

Hate the 6 seed and having to fly across country for the first two rounds but I doubt we could have received better match ups for us

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:11 pm

Baylor at 22-11 is a 5...

Duke in the West but of course they get to start in the East. SMH

so big12y, this side of the bracket

Duke a 4 seed yet Arizona a 6 seed? At least they aren't playing in N.C. like most other tournaments.

Yay! The Beavers made it!

I guess the committee doesn't use Sagarin or BPI. We were much higher in both of them.
They look at margin of victory/loss, not just absolute wins.

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:13 pm

OSU is a 7????

azgreg · Post by **azgreg** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:13 pm

The Beavs are in. Nice.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:13 pm

Beavs a 7 and we are a 6? WTF?

rgdeuce · Post by **rgdeuce** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:14 pm

We are one spot higher than oregon state folks.... And not in the west

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:14 pm

We are 1 seed ahead of Oregon St?

WTF?

uacat540 · Post by **uacat540** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:14 pm

This is just a bunch of crap. Good ol Duke getting the duke treatment. I feel like blaming the pac 12 network for part of this crap?

So Texas is a 6 seed and gets to play in Oklahoma next door...we get shipped to Rhode Island.

Miami and Wichita States guard play will give us fits. Not as optimistic on those draws than most of u

dirtbags · Post by **dirtbags** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:16 pm

We aren't too bad against teams with good guards. I was more afraid of drawing a big athletic team like Oregon.

Larry Scott must have been on the selection committee

If the committee looked at our margin of losses, no way are they not a 4. I just find it ridiculous that given how well respected the Pac-12 obviously is as a whole (given how many teams made it and with Oregon being a 1 seed) how little they thought of the Cats. I guess the killer was the OOC SOS.

Miami is supposed to be very athletic.

To everyone whining...we got a fucking great draw. Seed doesn't mean a damn thing. Sean will have this team frothing at the mouth.

Agree! It's never easy. I love our chances to make it to next weekend.

uacat540 · Post by **uacat540** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:24 pm

Winner of the play in game has to go from Dayton to Providence...thats worth something right?

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:24 pm

Pac 12 Seeds

Oregon - 1
Utah - 3
Cal - 4
AZ - 6
OSU - 7
USC - 8
Colorado - 8

7 teams in as expected. Sucks for Washington.

Yep. Hopefully they go double OT and then we play them early Thursday afternoon.

dirtbags · Post by **dirtbags** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:26 pm

ooo, possible unc-uk matchup

well, at least no friggin Wisconsin this year.

FreeSpiritCat · Post by **FreeSpiritCat** » Sun Mar 13, 2016 3:28 pm

CBS is really dragging the selection show out this year, probably for advertising revenue. Some people can forget about having plans for the afternoon.

good draw for archie, too. which Miller brother goes furthest?
