All things considered, not a bad bracket. Bama is tough, but at least Louisville is a more neutral court than Kansas City would be.

It would be funny if CSM ends up playing Pitt.
Re: Official Bracketology Thread
I bet UCLA has Kansas as their 1.

If UCLA plays the Zags you think Tommy will send Mark notes?

Historically it has been considered bad luck when you draw Princeton in the first game of the NCAA tournament. Why am I not surprised it's our first opponent?

Re: Official Bracketology Thread
That's crazy. It's like we had more to lose than gain this past week. For the record, we won our league tourney, beat ucla 2 out of 3, and went 9-2 vs. Q1, and we got shipped out of the west. ucla was 8-5 vs. Q1.CardiacCats97 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 3:34 pmApparently we were on the cusp of being a three seed if we had lost.Beachcat97 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 3:32 pm Having a hard time seeing what we gained by winning the Pac tourney (and beating ucla two out of three).

For the record, you were right. The committee didn’t give a shit about geography when it came to the one seeds.

Re: Official Bracketology Thread
You're right, Rondae. But even with these losses, we're freaking 28-6 with as good a tourney resume as anyone in the country, and yet we narrowly avoided being a 3 seed?

Re: Official Bracketology Thread
Well, I know what I'll be making time for Wednesday night: First Four matchup between Nevada and Arizona State - winner faces TCU.
The big snubs appear to be Rutgers and especially Clemson, who I don't believe was ever mentioned as "on the bubble." Clemson finishing 23-10 with a 14-6 ACC record.

Re: Official Bracketology Thread
UCLA #5 overall
Arizona #7 overall
Alabama is #1 overall - WTF are we matched with them!!! Marquette is #8 overall, and therefore should be with the #1!
Someone please explain this!!!
