Selection Sunday

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Maybe they were hedging their bet in the event they lost so the committee wouldn't take away their #1 seed....

Sampson pulling a Boeheim? No way, Beef.

The committee representative, Reynolds, did mention they considered some of the injuries, including UCLA and Houston (as well as Kansas' potentially being down McCullar and Self).

Did Sasser play?

Sasser not playing was huge in that game, he’s damn good, tough for Houston to replace his 16-17 a game he brings. Smart move to keep him out though, these are the true games that matter.

Funny thing about Sampson - someone mentioned the other day that IU admin screwed up the handling of that situation. They argued IU should have done a Kansas, Arizona type maneuver giving the bird to the NCAA and kept him. Their point was, had Sampson stayed, IU would have won a title under him.

Just like the off season. They always that!

Memphis is not a Power-5 conference team, thats why. The American conference, right?

So you think Houston, Gonzaga, Marquette, and Villanova are mid majors?

We better not play Oral Roberts in the first round. 7’5” center and Abmas at guard.

Oral Roberts, what's another name for 2 gay men dating

Delete that

Sorry if I missed it but I love the irony of some of the teams who made it and those that didn’t.

Jaelin Llewelyn left Princeton to play at Michigan. Princeton made the tourney and Michigan didn’t.

Pete Nantz left Northwestern for UNC. Only Northwestern is going to the dance.

Zeb Jackson and Brandon Johns will play in the tourney for VCU and Michigan won’t.

Wish I had a list of all the guards and portal guys we targeted to see how their seasons ended up.

And another...
Eric Hunter left for Butler, and the Bulldogs finished under .500.

I feel bad for him. Still think he would've been an asset on this year's team...

But if he stayed we don’t get Jenkins. Think Jenkins is a bigger asset. Sucks for Hunter but then again he graduated so under no obligation to stay.

Point taken, but there's a Power 6 in CBBall. BE counts.

Are you familiar w PU history in the tourney?? Like, at all?

UNC turns down NIT 🤣🤣🤣

Actually, UNC determined it was better for the players to focus on classes.

Memphis is not a mid-major team. They beat #1 Houston by 10 on Sunday.

Memphis is good, but on several occasions, they've gone mentally blank.
