Good read.

I had a recurring dream all night last night that we got a 7 seed... Fingers crossed.

How bummed would you be if we got a play-in game? Me? Very!

Impossible. Auto qualifiers are not eligible for the play in games.

Really? I did too! Not kidding. While we won't be close to that line, I dreamed a 7 seed as well. Brain waves ZN!

Not true.

Gonzaga won't be in the play in game because they won their conference tournament, and there are many, many leagues worse than the WCC. The play in games involve the final at large teams and the four worst conference champions. The team who you might see in a play in game is SMC.

Example: as of right now, the winner of the Farleigh Dickinson/Southern play in game gets #1 seed KU.

The Big Ten Network Selection Show special starts at 4pm PT and goes until 5:30. Even though they talk a lot about Big 10 teams, it is a "national" show. I prefer it to the CBS and ESPN guys.

Did you list these times for Woohoo???

[uZiGiZaG]

I don't understand how or why we are projected to be a 10 or 11 seed ..

IMO, we should be a 6 seed

Oh no. They are going to drrraaaaagg this out.

[caduceus]

Oh no. They are going to drrraaaaagg this out.

Yeah....advertising $$$. Maybe I should DVR this thing.

Edit: Ammo sighting in the background.

[DZ]

Oh no. They are going to drrraaaaagg this out.

Death, taxes, an hour long announcement . . . The Academy can give out 3 Oscars in the amount of time that it takes to do a whole selection show and . . .

[CDC84]

I hate this new format....especially with them involving the Turner guys like Barkley who probably hasn't watched a college basketball game all season. They probably won't start announcing the teams for the next 25 minutes. Argh......

[caduceus]

....Aaaaand I'm muting it until 3:00.

[23dpg]

This is sooo backwards. Show the brackets and THEN talk about it for an hour. I'd be invested at that time. This is torture. Did you know that there were 31 automatic qualifiers? Fascinating!
