Tournament Selection Thread

I can't believe Syracuse got in.

Looks like they are in St Louis too. ACC

 

[BFo8]

This show

Amazingly some producer thought the new format would be a great idea.

 

[imajericho]

I can't believe Syracuse got in.

Told you it was hard to justify less than 6 teams for the ACC.

 

[pfffiiit]

Haaaah - now they can't work the Bubble Board, obviously no rehearsal with this stuff.

 

[PittMed]

Pittsburgh not on the bubble board

 

[BFo8]

So Akron didn't even make the "Bubble Board"?

 

[Ski11585]

Draftexpress made a good point on twitter: Sucks for all the teams that had their bubble burst via a leaked bracket.

 

[PittMed]

No wait they are there

 

[PittMed]

Are we in NC bracket?

 

[PittMed]

Here we go

 

[imajericho]

Are we in NC bracket?

Yes

 

[pfffiiit]

Is that leaked bracket correct so far?

 

[Protes]

East region is matching leaked bracket.

 

[Ski11585]

I'm so bored. I just want them to finish the east so I can change the channel.

 

[TiredRam97]

Is that leaked bracket correct so far?

Yep

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

Wisconsin then Xavier. Cant ask for much more. Plus I LOVE its on a Friday so I can enjoy the Thursday games.

 

[PittMed]

Here we go

 

[DC_Area_Panther]

I am only concerned about our first game matchup. Hopefully no one with a strong inside game. That is our Achilles heel.

 

[Protes]

And there we go!

 

[PittMed]

Yes. We have a chance here

 

[Blair_45]

They always seem to put Pitt versus Xavier somehow someway.

 

[drgags]

I like the draw. We have a chance to get out of the first weekend.

 

[Pittbaseball11]

Pitt's lucky to get in. Not that they didn't deserve it, but there's very little consistency behind any of these selections. Cuse gets in without a play-in? Vandy and Tulsa make the First 4? Oregon gets a 1 seed? Very strange year. Even Greg Shaheen, who oversaw the process for a decade, tweeted out that he's legitimately confused about the methods and criteria used. No clear strategy behind this.

 

[TiredRam97]

Two middle fingers to CBS for dragging this out. Feel bad for bubble teams having to find out on Twitter they're out.

 

[TempleBAPittMPA]

Now it's "official".

 

[DT_PITT]

Yep

That is such a hoot. The leaked bracket was REAL!

 

[H2P2015]

Anyone surprised by USC? This bracket is very biased in favor of the PAC 12. Terrible bracket overall but pretty decent for us.

 

[pfffiiit]

If we make to Sunday that weekend, isn't Xavier the big middle kind of team we bow to?

 

[Blair_45]

This region is not very good Pitt actually has a chance if they play well to maybe pull some upsets.

This show is painful and tedious.

 

[DT_PITT]

This region is not very good Pitt actually has a chance if they play well to maybe pull some upsets.

Xavier is very good defensively.

And Wisconsin has been playing very well as of late. It will be quite a task to even get by them, especially knowing at times how we can play not very well.

Anyone see the video of the reaction from Pitt...this leaked bracket sucked. No suspense at all.

 

[PITT92DOG]

IT was fun watching some posters twisting the info into the worst outcome.

Anyone see the video of the reaction from Pitt...this leaked bracket sucked. No suspense at all.

Between that and the Hamlin announcement video, Pitt is trying to corner the market on scripted reaction videos.

 

[TempleBAPittMPA]

What?

That's exactly how the broadcast panel greeted the Syracuse news.

 

[Pittx9]

Michigan got royally screwed. Much more deserving than at least a handful of teams that got in.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

This show is painful and tedious.

CBS should be ashamed of themselves. Let's hope they learn from this and can this monstrosity next year.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Michigan got royally screwed. Much more deserving than at least a handful of teams that got in.

Michigan should be ecstatic that they made the play in game.

 

[DT_PITT]

CBS should be ashamed of themselves. Let's hope they learn from this and can this monstrosity next year.

The segment w/ Barkley picking the bracket was so bad.

I didn't think they showed us. Did I miss it?
