Michigan State is #2 seed.

Maryland is #5 seed (their #4 is Cal).

Think we may be headed for a #4.

 

[depthcharge623]

Probably a 4 even though I still think we deserve a 3.

Iowa a #7.

Interesting Villanova got a #2 and don't even get to play in Philly in Sweet 16. They really got screwed.

I believe they aren't allowed to have a home court advantage in a potential 1 vs 2 matchup in the E8.

 

[lbodel]

Vanderbilt in play-in game. That's a great game...Vanderbilt vs. Wichita State.

Arizona as a #6.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Vandy/Wich St in a play-in game.

 

[lbodel]

True...I guess they're also in NYC in the first rounds, which is basically home.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Potential Cal/Maryland potential match-up could be really interesting.

TMHR could get Nova.

 

[lbodel]

33% chance we'll be in WVU's bracket....

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Is the site their actual home arena? Otherwise, there is no restriction from my understanding.

 

[BoilerFan#35]

Glad we avoided Cal. Kansas is the best one so that's a positive also.

 

[PU52Chevy]

Glad we don't play Cal for awhile......watch us have to play Green Bay.....

No Boiler on Boiler please......

 

[ahhculdee]

This is bullcrap.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Put the interviews later......get to the other freaking brackets, Ernie.

They play their games in 2 different arenas (a few in the NBA arena there, most on campus).

So no, it's not the "home arena" but I see the point about potentially being a #2 seed and playing basically at home vs. the #1 seed.

 

[Cevol03]

i think Iowa got a great draw for them

Welcome to a 2 hour selection show...

I agree....it's the equitable thing to do.

30 minutes in and I already don't like this new 2 hour format.

Just announce the bracet already. It's fine if CBS wants to follow that with 90 minutes of analysis and opinions, but it could be another hour before we know where we're headed.

 

[bonefish1]

Crap. With MSU a 2, I think IU is a 3 and we're a 4.

 

[boilerpt]

Are we really watching fat Charles give his picks instead of just announcing the teams?

 

[lbodel]

Jesus. This show is a disaster.

 

[PU pit bull]

Welcome to a 2 hour selection show...

No kidding...............damn, just show us the brackets..........don't need the circus, or the clowns

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Jesus. This show is a disaster.

Chuck with the board????

TURRIBLE!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

This is what happens with a captive audience. I'm almost wishing for Dukie V.

 

[PU pit bull]

Man, I miss when basketball was basketball..........

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

Jesus. This show is a disaster.

im remembering why i dont watch this show...suckage

 

[rgarlitz]

Nobody tuned in to watch Gotlib, Barkley, and some dude from Turner sports opine about the South region.

Just get to the brackets!

 

[depthcharge623]

Duke with a 4 seed...

 

[lbodel]

This tournament has a lot of toss-ups, could be very wild tourney.

 

[depthcharge623]

25% now...

 

[lbodel]

Texas A&M with a #3 seed. I'd imagine that would put Purdue at a 3 too....but this is all defying logic.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Man...A & M with a 3-seed. Don't tell me about matching teams......could meet Texas in the second round.

 

[depthcharge623]

Good point

 

[lbodel]

Man...A & M with a 3-seed. Don't tell me about matching teams......could meet Texas in the second round.

I don't think Texas/Texas A&M in basketball is quite like it is in football. As I went through with Duke/Georgetown last year, you can't really put together the pieces lil you see the whole puzzle. We've seen half the bracket and there's only one thing to point out too.

 

[02Boilermaker]

MSU & WVU as remaining 2 seeds?
Utah & Xavier as remaining 3 seeds?
UK, IU, PU...2 get 4s & one is going to be a 5 seed?

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

West looks like it could be the weakest bracket......good teams, don't get me wrong, there.

 

[proudopete]

Man...A & M with a 3-seed. Don't tell me about matching teams......could meet Texas in the second round.

That was our spot right there. We could have rolled in that bracket.

 

[depthcharge623]

I think we are better than Utah. Who knows...

 

[HomelessHarvey97]

I have my finger on the power button so I can turn this off as soon as Purdue gets seeded.
