OT: Bracketology

DM8 said:
Selection committee chair was asked why we were so low and he said we took some losses that were concerning. We didn't lose a game outside of quad 1 or 2. They clearly didn't bother to watch us destroyed UT today. That win was more impressive than anything any team has done all year. No one else has blitzed a top 5 team like that.

I don't get how we're on the same seed line as Miss State. Does the committed not pay any attention to the how you finished the season?

I'm gonna be mad for a minute and then look at the positive angle. They really screwed North Carolina by putting the hottest, most dangerous team in the nation in their pod. Gonna be tough on the Heels

Miss St had to get credit for the number of quad 1 wins they had. It’s the only reason why I think they got that seeding.

Here's a highlight from the NMSt-Kansas game earlier this year. What I take away from this game is that Kansas isn't impressive here at all and NMSt is active but not very big or athletic. If they want to get out and run with us, bring it on. If they want to play in the halfcourt with us, bring it on. Dont' think they can stop Harper and McCormick from penetrating or stop Chuma and HO and Wiley from working the paint.

Now, they could always catch fire shooting the 3, and that seems to be our Achilles defensively. But I think they're really going to have to shoot it well.

Edit to add: Kansas is garbage defensively in this game!

I feel like this makes me feel better about both games, but I also am worried because I'm an AU fan and worry is all I know.

I'll go back and forth between complete worry and dread and absolute confidence until we tip off Thursday morning. Then I'll be a nervous wreck until it's under two minutes and we have a 6+ point lead and SBJ has the ball in his hands. Right now, I'm perusing stats and metrics and have the utmost confidence that they haven't played anything close to how we're playing right now and will have one hell of a time trying to compete with us.

If we didn’t care about either team, we would think no question Auburn would handle them easily.

But we do care, so I’m anticipating a nail biter

If I remember correctly, I think the potential times will be available, but the actual times are not set until after the Thursday games. I'll be traveling on Saturday, so trying to decide how early to round up the fam to make sure we are in a reliable boog watching environment at least 2 hours before tip.

Don't the weekend game times usually mirror the first game times? or are at least very close just so it insures every team gets close to the same amount of rest? I'd guess the game on Saturday would be at 12:30 cst or 2:30 cst

Yeah it will go from 4 games on Thursday to 2 games on Sat. Guess it’s all about TV too. We will be the earlier of the 2 games. That could mean anything from noon to 6pm though.
 
I’ve been watching talking heads on ESPN discuss the bracket all morning. Main takeaway is that UT gets more credit for beating UK than we do for beating UT twice in a week. Pretty bizzaro how unimportant the final day of the SECT became to the committee.

Seen a lot of UT to the final 4 picks. They got such a good draw but I still expect them to shit the bed before the elite 8.

I guess we didn’t play our way into a preferred destination but gatdamn I had grand plans for going to Jacksonville or Columbia, SC. Hell even San Jose fug could really do something out there. Fuggin Utah then KC if we make it?

Actually would have even pulled the trigger on SLC if we’d have got a Friday. Even Thursday night maybe. Fuggin going to KC to watch us trash the heels though no matter what.
