Palehosefan Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Get maybe the #1 2 seed in the tourney in the top bracket, a long with Louisivlle, Indiana, Butler etc. Just ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 You should be happy. Butler could be the type of team that takes out a Tennesee and ends up making your road a bit easier. Plus, IU is way over-rated. Perhaps they got a bit low of a seed, but while they have some talent they aren't a very good team. Than again, I'm overly harsh on the big ten this year because I think it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Share Posted March 16, 2008 Ha you don't have to worry, IU's only an 8 seed. And right now, I don't even want to pick us making it into the weekend. However, we do get to play the "me against the world" card, and that usually never hurts. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) This is so bulls***. How is Tennessee not a #1 seed? And if they are a #2 (which they're f***ing not), why the f*** are they in the same region as North Carolina? Let me give you some facts here and you tell me how b****-ass Kansas got a #1 over Tennessee: The Jayhawks' best win away from Phog Allen Fieldhouse was a four-point win at (#6 seed) Southern California in December. They have a 2-2 record against ranked teams after beating Texas, who beat them in the regular season, today. The Jayhawks, now 30-3, are 4-2 against teams we project into the field of 65 (5-2 if Arizona makes it). They're also 8th in the RPI and 82nd in SOS. Now, let's look at Tenn... The Vols have held the #1 spot in both the RPI and SOS for weeks now. They are 29-4 overall, 6-2 against ranked teams, and no team has as good of wins away from home as Tennessee does: They beat West Virginia and Gonzaga on a neutral courts (though the Ganzaga game was in Seattle), and they beat Memphis in Memphis and Xavier in Cincy. Lastly, they are an impressive 11-4 against the projected tournament field if Western Kentucky and Ohio State make it as at-large teams. f*** this s***...

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I'd rather deal with Tennessee than Texas. At least with the Vols, you know your going to have lots of easy shots all game if you can get across half court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 As mad as I am with Tenn and Louis being #2 and #3, I'm more upset at Arkansas and Indiana being the 8-9 matchup. That might be the toughest 8-9 set in history. Arkansas is playing very well and Indiana has been in the top 25 most of the year and still has the talent.

JuiceCruz16 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Toughest region! Being the #1 overall seed did very little for my Heels. Tennesee the worst 2 seed, I don't think so, Louisville the lowest 3 seed , please. Only one of those two can get to Carolina though, IF Carolina makes it through the second/third round with ND, IND, Arkansas types. Gonna be a tough road for anyone coming out of this region.

Butler had a crap load of good wins last year, this year...not so much. I think they're a great team but their resume isn't all that impressive this season.

I'm not sure what you're getting at there, when absolutely everyone is saying IU got jobbed. Granted the team is in shambles right now, their whole body of work didn't equate to an 8 seed. Please clarify if I don't see what you're trying to get at there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU has more of a historic/big name pull than Butler does. The "name" programs in the bigger conferences usually get more breaks. Yes, I agree though, Indiana got "jobbed".

Palehosefan Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 UNC not exactly playing defense though. I KNEW somebody would say that. I guess 60 points given up by the starters in 36 minutes isn't defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
