The Selection Show

[BillyBob1]

Tornado warnings where I'm at, and I'm more concerned with this expiring so they can air the selection show instead of radar!

Good luck. Be safe!

I think a fair seed is an 7,8,9 for us. Prob an 8

How? Oregon is a 5. They finished tied with us and we beat them by 30

 

[chrisRunner7]

I dunno but I love how this is going down so far... love that Auburn/Duke and Alabama are off the board

No way an eight. Not with our SOS in conference and out of conference. Looks like a 6 I would think. Out west. About to find out. Just avoid Florida and Houston please lol before the 2nd weekend

Pls don't put us against drake..

Why? It’s a great matchup for us. No player taller than Will Riley. Limited athleticism. Their best player will draw Boswell.

I feel great about our chances against Drake.

Michigan gets a 5 and Wisconsin gets a 3.. Make it all make sense..

Wisconsin has been the better team overall regardless of today's result. Michigan got hot this weekend but they struggled down the stretch otherwise.

how is auburn overall #1 over Duke? Duke hasn't lost since Feb 8 and auburn has looked vulnerable as of late

The ACC is awful.

16 quad 1 wins to 9....

Its basically SOS, half of Dukes wins are quad 3/4

OOC wins

 

[IlliniFaninHoosierLand]

They aren’t playing Kentucky.

I know that they're not but I don't get how them playing close to home in an arena where they've not typically had success means that they'll be at an advantage.

Xavier didn't have an advantage years ago when they played closer to Rupp than Ohio State.

Yes, would feel good about that.

 

[thefalcon5]

or does that push us down further

Someone’s gotta be a 6 lol. I think it’s a positive. St Mary’s being a 7 was massive for us.

 

[chrisRunner7]

Four seeds must be Maryland and..... Purdue? Clemson? UCLA? Clemson makes no sense if Louisville was an 8 seed

 

[fatboyslim]

What about them?

 

[OrangeBlue98]

But Duke got a far easier draw in my opinion. Auburn’s bracket is tough.

I'd give them the coaching edge

 

[Piotyr]

I'm not sure why anyone is surprised or confused about Wisconsin. They were a 3 in the bracket matrix, and not the lowest 3.

 

[ejam21]

UNC getting in with a 1-12 quad 1 record is ridiculous to me, but maybe im missing something

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

So that Florida team we just saw is not even a top 2 team in the nation???

 

[illini510]

I dunno but I love how this is going down so far... love that Auburn/Duke and Alabama are off the board

Yes, not having to deal with those 3 teams already is a positive but there's still Houston and Florida with all their bigs out there....

 

[SuperMetroid]

Commercial with script Illinois sighting

Again, games other than today matter.

 

[lstewart53x3]

Seems like this is some of ya’lls first Selection Sunday.

Florida should be everyone's favorite...West

Prayers for SIUE lol.
