I'm personally a U of Florida basketball fan, so we're feeling pretty good about a 3-seed (assuming the SEC Tourny goes as planned), but what about everyone else? Fans of bubble teams? of top 10 teams? of NIT hopefuls?March 08, 2011 at 04:24AM View BBCode

Florida should get a #3 unless something bizarre happens in the SEC tourney and they have a shot at the round of eight, anything more would be a huge upset in my mind, it's tough to beat really good team when your top two scorers both shoot around the 40% range.March 09, 2011 at 11:34PM View BBCode
As you can see by my Avatar I am a St. John's fan. Happy to finally have a team that is relevant again. Ready for them to make a run in the Big East tournament and then make a good run in the NCAA's!March 10, 2011 at 01:19AM View BBCode
What happened in the game? (I obviously wasn't watching)March 10, 2011 at 01:46AM View BBCode
Refs were so scared of deciding the game that they decided the game.March 10, 2011 at 05:41PM View BBCode

you can always tell a bogus tar heel fan if they call it "UNC." do any of them call it that? if they do, they are strictly fakers.
(anybody who is a Dook [or Carolina] fan, that did not go to school there, or pay the tuition for a kid or kids to go? should be taken out and not brought back.)

i am from north carolina, but of course not a fan of the sh_t heels. they had themselves a good old time beating up on dook there the other night for the regular season crown. i mean, that was downright awesomes.March 11, 2011 at 04:36PM View BBCode
Good God UCLA got killed by Oregon in the PAC 10 tourney. Can you say #9 seed ?March 12, 2011 at 11:00PM View BBCode
Whew....Florida was losing by 12 in the second half to Vanderbilt in the SEC Semis...something like 12 turnovers in the first half (2 for Vandy). We ended up winning by double digits for the second night in a row..March 14, 2011 at 12:44AM View BBCode
Well Florida shouldn't have gotten a #2 seed but congrats on that, and on playing your 1st 2 games in Florida. I'm happy no #1 seeds were gift wrapped the final four like Duke was last year. It should be exciting.March 14, 2011 at 04:00PM View BBCode
Well if you're going to say that, who would you have given the 2 to? Uconn or Syracuse? Certainly not BYU or Purdue. I'm not sure that UConn and/or Syracuse are more deserving of a 2 than Florida at this point. UConn did have a nice run in the Big East but really, they were the second tier in the conference most of the year (behind Pitt, ND, Louisville and Syracuse) and their run moved them from 6 to 3, I don't think a 2 would have been right for them. Syracuse is a maybe but I have no issues with Florida being ranked ahead of them. And certainly you're not going to rank Kentucky, Louisville, Wisconsin or Texas over Florida going into the tournament?March 14, 2011 at 04:48PM View BBCode
I think cases can easily be made for any number of teams to have had a #2 seed ahead of Florida but arguments can be made for Florida as well .March 14, 2011 at 09:49PM View BBCode
I'm just confused how Florida (I think ranked 12 at the time) got a 2 seed after losing to Kentucky (ranked 16 at the time) by 16 in the SEC championship, while Texas (ranked 10 at the time) got a 4 seed and lost to Kansas (ranked #2) by 12 in the Big 12 championship. I'm not saying I think Texas is a better team but it doesn't seem consistent.March 14, 2011 at 10:09PM View BBCode
The selection committee has always placed a big premium on RPI and how a team has finished for seeding .March 15, 2011 at 12:54AM View BBCode
So BYU deserved the #2 seed because of their body of work, which consists of 2 top 25 wins since January 1 both against San Diego State and 2 blowout losses in the past 5 games. But Texas (by the way not a Texas fan) who has 5 top 25 wins since January 1 and who has gotten beat badly only by KU in the past few games doesn't? I guess I don't really care that much I'm just looking forward to another exciting March.March 15, 2011 at 02:41AM View BBCode
The thing about "seasonal body of work" is that applies to ...........the whole season.March 20, 2011 at 07:27PM View BBCode
Tworoosters, sorry about your UCLA game yesterday...March 20, 2011 at 10:06PM View BBCode
Can't say I'm surprised, the Bruin seem determined to try and win with sheer athleticism but 64% from the foul line and 42% from the field isn't going to beat a team like Florida.March 20, 2011 at 10:38PM View BBCode
No way we look past BYU...we had 12 straight tournament wins before BYU beat us in 2 overtimes last season...but you're right..without Pitt, I like our chances for the Final Four a lot more..March 22, 2011 at 05:54PM View BBCode
I'm still trying to understand what the benefit of being "#1 over all seed" (OSU) is, when you have to play Kentucky, Carolina and Duke to get to the Final. Without doing the research, three programs that are probably in the top 5-10 all time in National Championships. I still say, no matter the sport, if you're the best, you'll win no matter who you play. But having easier opponents sure makes the path a lot easier. And yes, Buckeye fan...March 24, 2011 at 02:19AM View BBCode
I don't blame the Buckeyes fans for being surprised by what happened...Kansas and Pittsburgh both seemed like they had easier paths to travel..March 24, 2011 at 05:35AM View BBCode
