    Lol I am sure the UNC AD followed all the rules about removing himself.

    The interview with the selection committee chair is the most useless thing in sports.

    I didn't say it wasn't pathetic, I said WVU not getting in was their fault. And THEN I said "IMO" which basically means "Fuck off, that's MY opinion", and I stand by that.
    If WVU would have taken care of business at SEVERAL points during the year, they'd be in. But they DIDN'T. Am I pissed about it? Of course I am.

    My first bracket thoughts:



    Every 8-9 matchup involves quality teams. Way more likely that a 1 seed fails to reach sweet 16.


    Vols got a great draw.


    Unc and Xavier getting in with 2 combined quad 1 wins is lame. So is Texas getting in at 6-12 in sec play.


    Shame I’ll be out of town because those Denver regional games look great. BYU / vcu. Michigan / uc San Diego. Texas A&M / Yale. Wiscy / Montana.

    think the lesson may be that espn needs to stop focusing so much on the quad system, UNC was better in almost every other metric used by the committee

    other blue bloods probably lobbied hard for unc to get in so theyd run it back with poobert another year

    Again, please show me where I said I agreed with them putting UNC in over us. Because I didn't you moron. I simply said WVU screwed themselves by losing to Colorado in round one of the Big 12 tourney which is a game they should have never lost. I NEVER said I agreed with WVU being left out.

    I was curious about this when I saw the brackets. Did they just play an absolute shit schedule and the computers/algo folks not like them?

    Seems pretty damn low for the 13th ranked team in the country

    It absolutely should have because UNC didn't deserve to be in over us to begin with. I just feel like that was the loss that kept us out. I certainly could be wrong though.
    The UNC thing is disgusting and gross, but it's the same kind of bullshit they pull in football so.....
