MU AN 8 SEED AGAINST MSU

[ozmetal71]

What a crappy draw!

[AlienWarrior]

Duke ,a 6 ,we are an 8 ,hosed again

[ozmetal71]

We have to play Michigan state, then if we manage to win that game, we get to play North Carolina essentially on the road.....

terrible

[mu_hilltopper]

GIANT penalty for McNeal getting hurt.  They are clearly assuming he's done for the year.

[Rocco]

What a fvckin crock of shi+!

[ozmetal71]

I'll be extremely happy if we manage to beat MSU......the thought of playing UNC in North Carolina in the second round is making me queasy.

[Detfan23]

We will take it to MSU before being crushed by North Carolina.

Man we get screwed just about every year.  

[Knight Commission]

word is out. McNeal wont play. Lets face it, without him we are an 8 seed----if that

[Oldgym]

Even with the McNeal factor, Duke a 6 and us an 8.  Effing crock.

[maxpower773]

thats a bunch of bs, i can't believe that, an 8 seed?!?! and of all places in nc with a possible match up vs unc...wtf was the committee thinking. lets just go put some 5 year olds on the committee, i'm sure they would do just as good a job.

[MU gimp ONE]

we got the shaft.  i can't believe some of the teams seated a couple spots higher than us.  Crean vs Izzo baby, it's going to be crazy.  in round 2, i hope hansbourgh watches out for burke's sharp elbows.

[LastWarrior]

B*LLSH*T!!!  What a friggin joke.   ???

[MUMountin]

nuts and bolts...nuts and bolts...

[SPL]

Is the selectino community even supposed to take injured players into consideration when the seed teams? And how do they know McNeal won't play?

McNeal or no McNeal, an 8 seed is a travesty.

[AlumKCof93]

Absolutely terrible.  We are just better than Purdue or Az?  Thank God we beat Pitt and St Johns or we would have been out.

[Big Papi]

Pretty obvious the committee thought Big East was a joke and the Big 10 was a great conference.  No Syracuse and us an 8 seed unreal friggen real.

[LastWarrior]

No West Virginia either

[mu_hilltopper]

About the only bright side about this is that we don't have to wait for the NIT bracket to come out.

What a total hose job.  10 wins in the BE, 21 RPI, and we get an 8.  Unreal.  Losing 5 out of our last 8 really did us in.

Edit:  I couldn't remember, and my wife said we lost 6 of 8.  Moral:  Never trust a woman.   

[ecompt]

Yeah, but Duke? The same Duke team we kicked the crap out of on a neutral court? A six, the same as Louisville, which right now is 15-20 points better than them???

[ozmetal71]

The conference got jobbed across the board.

Our late season struggles and McNeal's injury sure didn't help things either, and yes, thank God we beat Pitt and St. John's or else it looks like we would be going to the NIT.

[Classof2016]

As you know, I know the right words.Use your imagination.***************. I rest my case.

Except we didn't lose 6 of our last 8.  We lost 5 of our last 8 and went 5-5 in the last 10.  Some of these seedings are just incredible.

nice job, NCAA. Not that it will matter one iota to the tax-exempt a-holes in their front office (and it shouldn't), but I will not watch one second of their let-sell-tickets Dance. Good riddance.
