Then why in the actual fuck does the 6th seed wind up in the same barcket the the top one seed and the 8th seed wind up in the bracket with the 4th one seed?

We got fucked. Period.

I don't think we're a final four team in another bracket without Langford and Ahrens.

If we make the Elite 8 to play the Antichrist we should be ecstatic. But still it's nice to at least be able to see a path to the final four.

by **Nordic** 2019-03-17, 19:47

Apparently the 2s are seeded by closest region, not opponent.

Tennessee goes to Louisville
MSU goes to DC
Ky goes to KC
Mich goes to Anaheim

Because they legit confused Michigan and Michigan State and would never admit it. No I am not kidding Duffy I am serious.

I see a path. Win the next four games.

It’s a bunch of jive ass bullshit but we fuck it. The 3-0 was worth it.

He’s like an actor who had a franchise and then keeps trying to recreate that character over and over.

He’s our own little Steven Segal.

Two posts and that is all you can up with? LWS is a more creative poster than you.

Edit: Up to three posts.

He’s struggling. But as a family we need to encourage and hope he comes around. Remember, we love him. He’ll figure it out.

I don't even read his posts anymore to be honest. It's like a bad cross between LWS and a fight picking Nigel. Avert your eyes and move on past.

Jesse and Joel
Four happy seniors.

Yeah. I saw Jesse shuffling his feet very slow and said the same to my wife. He was really moving slow. Then thought well he’s a Chicago guy I guess, then saw Joel in front of him. Sister told me she saw the kid a lot. Fun weekend.

by **MiamiSpartan** 2019-03-17, 21:07

Remember when we were either pissed/happy/neutral about what bracket we were in and which 1 or 2 seed we'd have to face to get to the FF in a couple of other recent years? How fucking worthless was that worried/happy/meh attitude when we lost to MTSU or Syracuse? Jesus, people, who gives a fuck about Duke? We have 3 tough games to worry about before we have even the possibility of facing Duke. Get past those, then puss out about the bracket.

Dude, you're the one who never tells college stories so that means you must have went to UM. I distinctly remember reading that accusation, and thought it sounded pretty logical at the time.

Travis, when you have a chance, will you please clean up the grammar in the sentence above. Thank you. It makes me want to puke.

What I really don’t get is why, if we win, are guaranteed a rematch in the second round. Then we might have to play another big ten team in the third round and it wouldn’t even be a huge upset for that to happen. Why? The only other potential big ten rematch is if Iowa pulls off multiple unlikely upsets. I think the whole committee thing that espn wants you drooling over and analyzing so they get clicks is all just jerk off bullshit and it means nothing

I think you can play a conference opponent in the second round if you only played once during the season.

by **duffy munn** 2019-03-17, 22:34

The system is broke.I don't give a fuck about quad wins or staying close to home. Seed the teams and make damn sure the top one is in the same bracket as the last 2.

Avoid conference rematches until at least the elite 8. And for the love of god don't make the big ten conference champ play on thursday.

We got completely fucked in every possible way.

Well obviously you can Kingston otherwise Minnesota wouldn’t be there but it should still be avoided if possible. (It is easily avoided.)

Yeah, let's avoid a re match. I'm sure Izzo is struggling with the idea of one day to prepare for an opponent he has already played this year.

Rematches just aren’t as fun Kingston lake. The tournament is fun because it’s not the same teams you play all year.

They must have brought it back because that's exactly how the committee spokesman explained it.

They didn't place teams by matchups only geography. We got "rewarded" with winning today by getting placed in a bracket slightly closer than the south (the Midwest 2 seed was already taken by Tennessee who was #5 overall).

This.

Of course every year we bitch about something with the tourneyment seedling. But every single media outlet, hell everh UM fan says the same thing as Duffy. MSU got fucked over. I’m pissed too. But I hope they can make something of the tourney. I didn’t expect them to do as well as they have.
