The last 2 teams in the tourney should write thank you notes to Larry Brown and Rick Pittino -- (edited) - eag Mar 13, 15:52 2

    - They liked Boeheim's cheating -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 13, 15:38

  - Yup. Michigan doesn't deserve to be in. They're in on their name and that's bullshit. -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 15:39

A whole segment to recap what they talked about in the previous segments. OMG -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 15:27
By KenPom rankings, the #12 and #26 teams in the country are 11-seeds playing each other to reach the first round. - David Mar 13, 15:24 3
- The committee still puts a tremendous amount of value in RPI, which is clearly outdated at this point. - Tim Mar 13, 15:27 2
  - I think they did a rather poor job this year. -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 15:42 1
    - I am a Ducks homer and I had us at a two seed, three would have been a bummer but understandable. -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 15:43
Wow, a 3 seed. Was expecting 4 or 5. And of course they grouped us with Texas, Baylor, and Oklahoma. -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 15:15 7
- Ah, they did it to force the Texas head to head game - ty97 Mar 13, 15:16 4
  - Northern Iowa is a solid upset candidate. Wes Washpun is the best player in that game. - David Mar 13, 15:21 1
    - I don't take anything for granted in March Madness. It just became clear to me that the selection committee is hoping for a A&M/Texas game. -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 15:23
  - (Northern Iowa) -- nm - Tim Mar 13, 15:17 1
    - Thanks. I was guessing the N was probably North (or Northwest or Northeast) but so many I options! -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 15:19
- Wait, the Packers play basketball now? -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 15:15 1

Lunardi's play-in game picks were San Diego St. vs. Michigan and Temple vs. St. Mary's. He had Wichita St. as 9 and Vanderbilt out. -- nm - Tim Mar 13, 15:11
#1 overall! Woo hoo!!! Let's dance! -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 15:11
Most composite losses ever by the one-seeds. By *three*. - David Mar 13, 15:10 4

This selection show is a trainwreck. -- nm - Dano Mar 13, 15:06 1
- Yeah, two hours now. I liked it better at 1 hour -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 15:06
Guys, I think I've asked this before, but how can two teams have to play a play-in game to get a slot other than #16? - ty97 Mar 13, 14:58 7
- Because teams that are on the bubble are better than many teams that automatically qualify. So they play-in to get an 11 seed or so. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 13, 15:25 2
  - It's the automatic qualification that I forget about which throws me off. Thanks. - ty97 Mar 13, 15:27 1
    - Right. They get in automatically because they won their conference but it was a weak schedule and conference or they were upset winners that - Krusty Mar 13, 15:29
- It is extremely weird for sure. -- nm - Bacon Mar 13, 15:00

    - Nate Silver is having none of Oregon as a #1 seed. -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 14:56 10
      - By KenPom rankings (i.e. the best ones), they're a three seed. -- nm - David Mar 13, 15:07 3
        
        The committee is married to RPI big time and that's starting to drive people crazy. -- nm - Tim Mar 13, 15:09 2
        
        (RPI: Oregon #2, Michigan St. #11) -- nm - Tim Mar 13, 15:09 1
