NCAA Selection Show Thread

Here's my first prediction: No matter what region Duke is in, who else is in that region, as soon as that region is posted, Seth Davis will predict that we will be beaten, probably early -- round 2 or Sweet 16 -- and make a point of being very certain about it. And seem kinda happy about it too.

Why? Because this is what he always does.

I predict we will be a #3 Seed this year. Why? I don't know! It just seems to me this team is a #3.

Is he this generation's Feinstein?

I agree. Duke is a high 3 seed and probably has been all year. A couple of quality wins but a good not a great team. Still - a run is indeed possible but it will take more than just talent. This teams needs to play with a purpose and unity. Guards need to be better.

[jipops]

Hopefully we match up with teams that are almost as bad on D as us.

[gurufrisbee]

Lunardi has us as the 3 with Nova and Wichita State. That would be as sweet of a 3 seed as you could wish for.

[J4Kop99]

Please let us be in the East. I may or may not have already purchased east regional tickets...

I'll take that. And that's not a knock on Wichita State at all. They are legit. But if we have to be a 3 seed (and that's my guess) then give me Nova as a 2 every day and twice on Sundays. There are too many other teams I'd rather not see in our bracket.

[Troublemaker]

Agree that we're a 3 seed.

The 6 seed obviously is a key to whether it's a good bracket or not. Don't focus too much on the 1 and 2 and ignore the 6.

I'm hoping to avoid Kentucky, UConn, Ohio St and New Mexico as the 6 seed and Tennessee as the 11 seed. (Yes, Tennessee would be a pain.)

We didn't set ourselves up to receive a nice bracket. If you told me right now we could advance to the Elite 8 to face Florida, I'd take it in a heartbeat. The 1 seed is almost irrelevant when you're a 3.

[SCMatt33]

Is it too much to ask that we get the 3 in the East with Nova as our 2? Seem's like we don't deserve it right now

[J4Kop99]

Does it get any better than Seth Davis AND Doug Gottlieb??????

[El_Diablo]

Yay, Stanford.

'Cuse in with Kansas and Florida. Yikes.

[rolm]

South is a very tough bracket. Florida got no favors for being the overall #1

[J4Kop99]

'Cuse in with Kansas and Florida. Yikes.

Cuse as a 3 and Kansas as a 2... I kinda think we may get a 2.

[jipops]

Phew. South region looks brutal.

Did I miss them announcing the four 1s?

Seems a different format this ear

Not jealous of Cuse right now. Though if cuse and OSU both make it through the first round, I expect that game to end up somewhere in the 40's

[El_Diablo]

I missed the first 2-3 minutes...did they say all the #1 seeds already? I forget what they have done in the past (announce all #1 seeds and then go bracket by bracket, or just dive into the brackets).
