Enough with the bubble, it's time for the selections FINALLY!

Remember like 5 years ago when TBS did the “live crowd” for the selection show as if it was a Big Brother live eviction episode?

lol yeah I do.

Kansas should be a 8 seed at best this year but I'm sure they'll seed us higher and we'll be the big upset in the first round.

The guy on CBS just said FAU is getting in. ?!?!?! Show hasn’t started yet

Both the host and Wally predicting Drake as this year’s Cinderella right before we move to the Selection Show.

Sad to hear Greg Gumbel is out this year with health matters. I knew his sister Renee (RIP), who lived in the Chicago suburbs.

Brooklyn

1 UConn
16 Stetson

8 FAU
9 Northwestern

Spokane

5 San Diego St
12 UAB

4 Auburn
13 Yale

We could have last year's NCAA championship rematch in East Elite Eight.

FAU would at best be 3 bid league. USF have been ranked in the top 25, and also the top of the AAC standings as well with FAU in second. AAC is what you call sleeper cell that those two could actually go far in the tournament. SWAC and NEC both do not deserved a bid at all.

Looks like it would be the Sweet 16.

Omaha

6 BYU
11 Duquesne

3 Illinois
14 Morehead St

7 Wazzu
10 Drake

2 Iowa St
15 South Dakota St

Lots of teams close to Omaha playing in Omaha:

2 Iowa St vs 15 South Dakota St
7 Drake

Iowa St/Drake could play each other just 2 hours from Des Moines.

I'd be feeling fairly decent if I were Indiana St right now I think with where Drake is seeded.

4 Major conference champions in the same bracket

I wonder if FAU getting an 8-seed bodes well for Indiana St getting in. That was a lot of respect for a mid-major.

Correct, my bad.

I said the same thing to myself seeing Drake with a 10-seed and FAU with an 8-seed.

FAU as an 8 seed is a joke. Conference championship week and bad losses just don't matter.
