*****NCAA SELECTION SHOW THREAD*****
- Thread starter SotaHawk87
- Start date
Recruiting violations. But ho hum got a waiver once Cunningham showed up..
Thats true Fran, BUT Illinois was ranked right up there as well, and Michigan surprised everyone. Other then the games with the Hoosiers and the one that got away in the barn the Hawks handled their business. As for the BIG tourney the top seeds all advanced (except for a 4-5 flip with OSU over Purdue, and that almost never happens. That put Iowa up against a higher seeded Illini team, ( a team playing the best ball in the league right now), and we hung in and didn't wilt after getting down 14 in the second half. I seriously think this Hawk team makes the elite 8 this year, and we'll see what happens from there.....
I would take Tech. They play a slower brand of B-ball, and that’s a team we match up well with.
We don’t match up with them well at well. They’re Indiana on steroids.
@Suterman do you remember the royal screwing we got the last time we were a # 2 seed?? I do, I was there. As a # 2 we get sent to Tucson to play at the McHale Center ( home of Lute's Arizona team )vs. # 15 Santa Clara with the winner to play, you guessed it, the 7 - 10 matchup between UTEP and Arizona. Fortunately Arizona choked, getting outscored 12 - 4 to end the game as Lute went into his modified 4 corner stall as the shot clock was 45 seconds at the time. Somehow with 3 starters fouled out UTEP won the game and we didn't have to face Lute and # 10 Arizona on his home court. Arizona had like 5 NBA draft picks, plus future MLB star Kenny Lofton and Steve Kerr was unable to play due to a major knee surgery. Great trip. We played some pickup bb vs. some locals in the " Bear Down Gym ". Wished I could relive the memories of that week in '87...
Oral (from) Roberta, for us hetero-inclined please.
Seriously, though, the vs-#15 matchup shouldn't matter much. If the Hawks can't win that one, we're all drowning in our tears-flavored beer anyways.
I have a few teams I'd rather see, and rather avoid, in the next rounds however.
How nice is it to be sitting here just waiting patiently on 5p, for Selection Sunday and the bracket reveal, and not be sweating it out about worrying if the Hawks will be on the right side of the bubble or not.
Now our only worry will be about which region they'll be in, who the 7/10 and #3 seeds in the region are as well.
I'm in New Brunswick watching the B1G championship game with 100 + other RU fans waiting to hear Rutgers announced for the first time in 30 years. ♥️
That photoshop during the game yesterday, of the 3 announcers in AD's mask, said all I needed to know about who CBS was unabashedly favoring, both yesterday and today....
LOL!!!!!
An actual travel called on Curbelo and Underwood goes INSANE!
Guess that'll happen when the kid is allowed to tap dance without dribbling and then they actually call him on one, where he actually tried to keep dribbling.

Almost go time boys and girls. Haven’t been this excited for a selection show in a long time.
Welp, all those people who pounded Illinois to cover when it opened at -4.5 are probably a little annoyed at the moment.
I still Luka is in the driver's seat but there are many out there who want Ayo to win.
Please don't let Iowa be in Gonzaga's region, Please don't let Iowa be in Gonzaga's region, PLEASE don't let Iowa be in Gonzaga's region.........
