Dang Creighton with the nuclear meltdown right now against St John's

Yeah the Jays had great chances to open up a lead in the first half when St John’s was ice cold, and let them slip away. You knew the Johnnies would heat up eventually. They have a lot of weapons.

Yes add in Kansas St to that list. I would find it very hard to believe that KState puts more into its program than Nebraska does. Yes they were down some the last 2 years but they do very well in comparison.

Kst has a lot longer history in men’s basketball than Nebraska not even close and I’m no kst fan

Two years ago K-St was in the sweet 16.

Followed it up with motioning to his ring finger was reference to Hurly’s actions after the game in Omaha. It was a big FU at Hurley by Neal. Funny that UConn player put his dukes up like a hockey player ready to dance around with Neal. Neal would have bitch slapped him into next week. Also enjoyed McDermott giving Bill Murray’s kid an earful with Bill looking on. Good stuff.

Hurley is a dick . But the ring gesture shows how stupid the creighton kid is . You do that to a coach who won back to back championships while you and your university has won absolutely squat in that category.

I mentioned that in the Clarkeyes thread earlier today.
And it is spot on.

K St threw a huge bag of money at Coleman Hawkins.

It’s great to see creighton lose to St. John’s loved it! Screw you jayskers

Exactly. And they face the same issues that Nebraska does in terms of location in fact it’s even worse, Manhattan compared to Lincoln. Yet they win at K State. So those that say it’s too hard to win in a place like Lincoln are lying to themselves

Not a Jayskers or Mavsker, but sure would love to know the feeling of my team making it to a conference tournament championship game.

Felt like St. Johns didn't miss a shot in the last 10min last nite. Brutal stretch for the Jays.

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

I think St. John’s is one of the few teams that can matchup athletically and physically with those top SEC teams.

They did make 14 in a row! Unsure how they could lose to anyone when you have a half like that, shot 71%

Seemed like 95%.. haha

All depends on matchups and officials. That’s what makes the NCAAs fun. You’re going to see officials not give anyone preferential treatment like you might or would normally.

Yep . That’s why for the most part the Big 10 teams don’t fair well in the tournament.

I wish they’d “nationalize” (for lack of a better term) NCAA officiating instead of doing it conference by conference. Have one single association and pool of officials (with NCAA oversight I guess 🤷‍♂️) for the entire D1. Officiating teams get assigned (Randomly) to games in any conference. Highest rated officials have better odds of getting selected for high profile P4/P5 matchups. Officials are graded on performance and the highest grades make more money and get the better games. And start reviewing certain non-subjective penalties. (Offsides, false start, too many players, grounding, illegal forward pass, ineligible man down field etc…)

Very similar to something I suggested in mid-January. Eliminate conference affiliations. Have a true, independent evaluation of their performance. I would venture a guess that B1G refs like Pfieffer, Lurch, and others would end up reffing in the Horizon league.

Seems pretty simple to me and I’ve not really heard any great arguments as to why this couldn’t work?

Jays get sent to Lexington to play Louisville in an 8-9 game. Winner gets Auburn.

 

[Harry Caray]

Creighton draws Chucky and Louisville in the 1st round and the game is in Kentucky.....with Auburn in the 2nd round if they win. Talk about a tough draw.

I don’t agree giving an 8 seed games 80 miles from their campus.

Tough draw, looks they were the last 9 seed and almost fell to the 10 line. That’s a pretty rough draw for the Big East runner up.

Yeah it kind of sucks, but the Jays do have some warts on their resume. Besides losing at home to the Huskers, they got boatraced at Georgetown and Xavier and blew a big lead at home that cost them a sweep of UConn.

Kentucky getting a 3 seed at 22-11 is fvcking criminal. Don’t tell me the committee doesn’t favor certain programs. Kentucky should’ve been a 6 at best.

 

[schuele]

Media darling Purdue gets gifted a 4 seed and plays juggernaut High Point, which has NET and KenPom rankings in the 80s.

And just to make this seem like this is a tough draw, noted Matt Painter ass-kisser Seth Davis picks High Point in an upset.

 

[schuele]

UConn gets an 8-9 game against a Oklahoma team that was on the bubble? Jesus, what a gift.

Omaha gets St. John’s

 

[Big bo fan]

Jayhawks (#7) get the same royal treatment, getting sent all the way to Wichita.

Yep that’s BS

 

[schuele]

Yep that’s BS

Actually, I was mistaken about that. KU got sent to Providence. Same regional as the Wichita teams, but the Jayhawks do have to travel.

 

[Zeke2005]

Creighton’s win over UCONN did nothing for them they were the last 9 would have been better off losing to DePaul and taking a 10

 

[schuele]

It's always hilarious when a blue blood school's AD is chairing the selection committee, and dutifully insists that he "left the room" when his school's fate was being determined.

Yeh, because that makes a huge difference. I'm sure everyone instantly forgets who's chairing the committee, and who will be returning to the room in 10 minutes to retake the reigns.

I guess I didn’t pay attention I just saw they play Arkansas.

Being a 10 is so much better than even being an 8…and it’s not even close.

Unless you're UConn. Then you get an 8-9 game against a team that was projected to barely squeeze into the tournament.

Yeah if that wasn’t a benefit of being 2 time defending champion.

Makes you wonder how much longer teams will even bother to try in their conference tournaments. Michigan played its ass off all week and still got a worse seed than media darlings Wisconsin and Purdue. Auburn paid no price for losing to Tennessee.

 

[V-Doub]

Omaha gets St. John’s

They should make quick work of the Mavs unfortunately. But UNO was gonna have to play a monster no matter what. Good luck Mavs…

Creighton was the top 9 seed. Per ncaa seed list which is released. This bracket makes no sense. The sec getting so many in may have messed with seeding and matchups way too much. With super conferences continuing to grow, the ncaa needs to make changes because their match up guidelines don’t work with 14 teams from the same conference.

Yep that’s Basically what the chair said in the interview. They had to move some teams around. Creighton got one of the short straws while UCONN might have benefited by getting a shaky Oklahoma team in the 8-9 game. But I agree they are going to have ti change something
