[typeviic]

Social media sites {yahoo sports etc.} in meltdown mode since MSU did not get a 1 seed, .......

 

[Boilerscuz]

Nice path to E8, Little Rock/Iowa St/VA

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

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.

Definitely not.....but it's just interesting that Texas, Oklahoma, and A & M are all on the same half of the WEST bracket.

 

[Do Dah Day]

ye

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?

yep

 

[Big Ogie]

5 seed in Denver

 

[Do Dah Day]

I see where this is going.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

5 seed in Denver

Think I posted a few weeks ago probably a 5....but after the last few games, I think that's low.....would have thought no worse than a 4......oh well....
Rock the PEPSI Center, Boilers!

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

we will end up with wvu and unc. no luck.

 

[Boilerscuz]

we will end up with wvu and unc. no luck.

Neither. Our path looks good from here other than playing MSU for a final four spot.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

we will end up with wvu and unc. no luck.

Iowa State.....then UNC? assuming Boilers keep advancing.

or UVA.....which would be a battle for sure.

 

[Big Ogie]

I see where this is going.

With Ia state as the 4 seed matchup

 

[lbodel]

Goodness, DC area local news just interrupted with breaking news.

We are playing AR Little Rock as the 5/12

where u getting this?

 

[depthcharge623]

It apparently leaked. My friend texted me. We got shafted so hard...

 

[lbodel]

Think Michigan makes it? Guessing no. Vandy in already, but I'd guess Pitt is still going to get picked.

 

[Boilerscuz]

Michigan in play in game. Pitt a 10. Our Midwest bracket is the easiest from my initial look.

 

[Do Dah Day]

OK< didn't see THAT coming

 

[Cevol03]

wow, IU got a horrible draw

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Indiana the 5 in the east......and Kentucky in the second round.

What say you, Ilbodel?

 

[lbodel]

 

[Boilerboy46923]

Purdue got screwed #5 Cal, Kentucky and Duke at #4s what a joke!!

 

[BoilerFan#35]

Let's go Chattanooga!

 

[lbodel]

Indiana the 5 in the east......and Kentucky in the second round.

What say you, Ilbodel?

Again, there could be literally 50 match-ups that look "enticing" in the NCAA Tournament. When you put the top 32 teams in the second round, you're going to have compelling match-ups! That's a whopping 2 you've come up with...

 

[lbodel]

So much for all of this security...

Just checking.....think Indiana was under-seeded as well.

 

[Boilerboy46923]

Have to beat Iowa St, Virginia and Michigan St just to get to the final four

 

[lbodel]

They obviously didn't think much of the Big Ten this year.

Our bracket's not bad, but we'll have to come to play every game. Don't know anything about Ark - Little Rock. Iowa State is a solid team that played in a tough conference.

If we did happen to make Sweet 16, we'll be playing in Chicago.

 

[lbodel]

Have to beat Iowa St, Virginia and Michigan St just to get to the final four

Well, assuming they all win. And we win

 

[lbodel]

Lot of excitement in our room...come on Vince! ha

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Gotta like Tubby back in the tournament....5th different team.

 

[PU pit bull]

Vince looked happy........

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

UVA can't get away from Michigan State in the tournament it seems.

 

[Boilerboy46923]

Well, assuming they all win. And we win

True

 

[lbodel]

Queue the theme for the week: playing at 'altitude'

 

[TopSecretBoiler]

we kind of got shit on. number 13 in both polls, probably higher after the tourney week, and we get a 5 seed

 

[Cevol03]

our guys are pissed we got a 5 seed...glad to see that

 

[PU pit bull]

Nothing surprises me anymore........

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Committee obviously didn't think as highly of the conference this year.....makes it even more surprising then that Michigan did get in (although in a play-in).

 

[honey_badger]

Big TEN IS arguably the best conference in the nation. it was everyone beating up each other and beating up on non-conference foe prior to big ten season....with the exception of IU, which was an embarrassment pre-conference. Everyone else did their job and IU brought the conference down in the eyes of the committee, which is enough to piss us off, totally ridiculous
