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

It was a great idea to move the show up a half hour. It was a horrible idea to do a half hour lead in and announce at the same time as always.

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

One of Pitt's Twitter accounts put out a reaction video.

Not much to see. Just the guys sitting in the Club and with the typical clapping when they got in.

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

Good matchups...I also like that they aren't in the play in game as well...Now they need to show up and play like they did vs.Duke.

In the past from the time that they started announcing the first region until the time they were completely done revealing all the regions took about 35 minutes. Five minutes to give the one seeds and set the whole thing up, then show the regions, which left them 20 minutes to BS about their picks and to talk to the committee chairman. This year, from the time that they started announcing the first region until the time they were completely done revealing all the regions was 57 minutes (5:50 - 6:47, thanks to the magic of the DVR). So 60% longer to do the same job.

Progress!

They actually started announcing the field at 5:50. Regardless, the whole thing was dragged out far too long.

Two things I'm (already) sick of: Complaining about Monmouth and Vitale's sudden end-of-year stan-ing for the "little guy."

The zombies on the Walking Dead tonight will move faster than this show did.

So, it appears we might not have needed the last Syracuse win considering they got in? That would be amazing.

And Syracuse has Louisville to thank for their self-imposed ban.

We were the top 10 seed according to the S curve. I think had we lost, we probably just switch spots with Cuse.

Pretty amazing that gut wrenching game really meant so very little. I mean, we avoid a sure loss to Izzo in Rd 2, so that's good I guess.

I knew we were in when smf said we were toast

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

Wow yeah when watching the selection show I somehow missed they were in that play-in game. I still really don't think Vandy and a couple others were deserving, but oh well.

 

[PittPanthers90]

Watching the show, once I saw Whisky as a 7 seed, I knew we would be playing them.

This year looks like the selection committee went for storylines

Especially if you saw the bracket that had been leaked a half hour earlier.
