Vs Akron...

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:16 pm

Won’t be easy. Looks like a really tough bracket.

Hilariously I’ve watched more of Liberty than I have of Oregon this year.

Tough looking bracket - lots of potential redemption games if we get on a roll

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:20 pm

Just get to the second week and I am good. Roll the dice from there. Akron is pretty tough. Need to take you to the rack every time and pound the glass. Oh and F Oregon

I honestly don't think any of their games will be close until the Final 4.

Committee wants a Texas team in San Antonio. Good for Houston. They tried to help us last year and we shat the bed

AzCatFan2 · Post by **AzCatFan2** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:30 pm

The Zags can beat Houston. Hard to bet against Few in a short turnaround game. That's provided Gonzaga can get by UGA. Not an easy game.

EastCoastCat · Post by **EastCoastCat** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:32 pm

Sucking SEC off big time. Let’s see how they fair.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:33 pm

GC vs. Maryland should be interesting.

Texas Tech has a great chance to go far.

That West bottom bracket is rough.

And I think the 5 seed Clemson (whose strong enough to be a 3 seed) could give Houston a run if that's their S16 draw. Then a potential regional final match Vs Tennessee will also be tough.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:37 pm

SEC with 14 teams is such a joke.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:40 pm

I think our first two games are very winnable. Second weekend will be interesting depending how that shakes out.

azcat49 · Post by **azcat49** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:43 pm

The B1G gets two but Michigan gets a 5 seed. That league as usual sucked hairy Bigfoot balls(and we lost to two of them ugh).

Guess we will see on the SEC. Vandy at 10 was really their only low seed. Hope they all have a terrible tournament but given they got great high seeds, they should excel

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:47 pm

We were the last 4 seed, which shouldn't surprise anyone. Probably would've been a 5 if we hadn't won some games in the Big 12 tournament.

Beachcat97 · Post by **Beachcat97** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:49 pm

Count me among the minority that thinks the SEC deserved all those seeds. Those SEC semifinal games looked like a Final Four.

B10 is garbage. I don't expect anyone from that league in the E8.

Houston is getting to the F4.

AZCatGirl · Post by **AZCatGirl** » Sun Mar 16, 2025 3:55 pm

CBS thinks Oregon can beat us because we played each other last year.

Great logic...

If we end up playing Oregon we should have the home court advantage in Seattle.

Yeah, they did bracket preview, reveal, and then discussion/picks.

It wasn't 6 hours of Goodman, that would torturous.

I don't know. A couple of teams in their bracket might be a problem. Tenn. and Purdue will be tough. Clemson is really good at times. Tenn plays defense like Houston but we will see. If you recall Trey had a huge game in the tourney last year to beat Kentucky so anything can happen.

Oregon can be incredibly good or above average. They have a couple of losses that were unexplainable. The second loss to UCLA by 20 was odd but the first time they played them it was a 2 point loss.

They beat Texas A&M, Alabama, and Wisconsin to highlight their best victories.

Dana is a great coach so we will see.

Goodman says Akron is one of three double-digit teams that can reach the Sweet 16.

Goodman hates being an Arizona alum because he somehow managed to graduate while still a virgin.

I will say for WV- they have no one to blame but themselves.

In their last 15 games they are 6-9.

Best win- home vs TCU with notable losses to ASU and probably the game that knocked them out of the field- their final game to Colorado.

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Mon Mar 17, 2025 8:34 am

I like it that the UNC AD was like “Oh, I stepped out of the room when they debated the Tar Heels”.

As if the other committee members are toddlers with no sense of object permanence and they all just completely forgot their boss even existed as soon as the door closed.

It was an ACC snow job. The conference was dog shit yet somehow a team that no one had in made it based on their strength of schedule where they lost to every good team they played. Utter bullshit.

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Mon Mar 17, 2025 9:08 am

Even my objective college bb friend, who happened to marry a Tar Heel, is drinking the kool aid.

“ Among bubble teams UNC was #1 in torvik, kenpom, NET, BPI

UNC.
Three Quad 1 losses to Florida Mich St Duke by total 10 pts
WVU gets a quad 1 win at #72 Utah”

Also he’s a ucla grad.

Alieberman · Post by **Alieberman** » Mon Mar 17, 2025 9:15 am

Bottom line-

If you are debating who deserves this spot- NC or WV- all this does is confirm the fact that the Tournament 100% should never expand past this 68.

Neither of these teams should be playing in the post-season
