I remember us talking about Gonzaga a couple of months ago. I wondered then if Gonzaga would screw themselves by dropping Memphis from their schedule to make room for BYU. We may be about to find out.

But ugh. Now it just makes it worse. We have to actually face the complete screw job we are no doubt going to get.

the good news is, after today, either Jerry Palm or the RPI will be irrelevant.

I see sites - real ones not junk - saying we will get an 11.

WE HAVE A 12 RPI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The worst seed we have on the bracket matrix (out of about 90 brackets) is a #10. Most have us around a 6 or 7.

I could see them do that to Gonzaga and the Tigers, but don't worry about Kentucky. No way in hell they get in.

Hope you're right, but we've been to hell and back.

If they stuck them in, it would be a full fledged scandal.

so i'll ask again my question from last week - if kentucky wins the NIT will xcoach claim a national championship like he did in 2002?

I wouldn't put it past him.

37-37 game between Wisconsin and Ohio State in the Big Ten title game with 8 minutes left in the game. 37 freaking points with 8 minutes left. How can those people up there stand that type of basketball?

They are still playing title game with an hour left before the selection? Wow.

The Big Ten is always the very last tournament title game played. They really ought to start that game about 30 minutes sooner than they do, because there have been times in the past where it has gone into OT and didn't end in time for the Selection Show.

I remember this happening at least twice

I have been watching the ESPN selection special since the beginning (end of the ACC champ.) and have not heard these guys mention Memphis once.

Also, I saw an article cannot remember where or the name but it was basically saying Kensucky should be in the tournament simply because of the amount of money their fans generate during the tournament. Really! There is a reason I don't remember the name or the where of the article. PUKE!

I thought they punched their ticket at the end of the regular season. Then the SEC tournament started and I thought they shot themselveas in the foot.

Actually, the only good thing that came from the SEC tournament was that everyone in theo world was able to see with their own eyes how completely horrible that conference is. Good grief, they just added TAMU and Mizzou, and their conference got no better. It's like the teams they added regressed simpy by playing in the SEC.

Okay, I'm nervous about the SC's choices in an hour, but THAT's funny in any context.

30 minutes.

Anybody know a way to watch the selection show online? firstrow has Bracketology, but not the selection show itself (as far as I can tell).

Just a heads up that the impending catspause meltdown could cause nationwide internet slow-downs. I have no predictions if Kentucky is getting in or out. (THis year is just impossible to figure out) However, if KY fails to get in, that place will melt down over there.

I say we get a 5 seed with the outside possibility of a 4. Any seed though is just something we'll have to deal with as it comes and I think this team can deal with it.

They'll get a 12/12 play-in at Dayton strictly because of money and the name on the jersey.

Ayyyyy the Atlanta crew is on.

Good to see Charles. Maybe he'll pump the Tigers like he did last year.
