Official NCAA Selection Show Thread [Vols No. 2 seed in Midwest/Lexington]

[TheMookieMonster]

This guy got almost our entire bottom half of the bracket correct. Pretty impressive.

Bauertology: 3/16/25 (FINAL)

Well, this is it, y’all. In less than half an hour, we will have a bracket. Months and months of anticipation, poring over résumés, and fighting hordes of angry fans (heh) will come to a head…

I wonder how it feels to be LSU and South Carolina right now? Your whole class is having a kegger on Friday night .... and you will be home watching The Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas with mom and dad.

I will have you know that I have a lot of pleasant memories of watching Dukes of Hazzard and Dallas with my mom and dad.

I would love to send the Kitties home. No excuses to drop 3 if we get the chance.

don’t want to see Ky in this tournament. Go Illinois.

Did the SEC tournament matter?

It's the difference between being a 2 seed in Duke's bracket and being the 2 seed in Houston's bracket.

For you to judge how big a deal that is.

It didn't. UF deserved the overall #1 seed. They are best team right now. There is no way it wasn't predetermined that AU would get it because they have not played well at all down the stretch. Not to mention losing to you guys that won the tournament.

We looked less than enthused when they showed our seating

 

[Vol49er]

Surprised there’s not a bit more consternation about Illinois. They were playing really well before a lot of injuries and illness. Obv took us to the wire (albeit at their place). I like our chances but js

I don’t think so, I didn’t want UConn in round 2. Also, Duke not getting the 1 seed after winning their tournament down two starters and Auburn who lost 3 of last 5 getting it, proves they don’t matter. Let’s end the nonsense

I don't think our guys are happy to be there. I don't think they were happy with being the runner up in today's game. I think they've got something to say about that.

I'm going to have buy me a Fighting Illini hat lol

If Kentucky loses I really like our path to a Final 4

He’s talking about where us and Bama went. We got a better matchup as the 5th overall team.

My thoughts exactly

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Not a bad draw for us in Lexington. That Utah State team would make me a little uneasy, though. That’s a team with a lot of bucket getters. Reality is that it’s supposed to be hard when you get to the round of 32.

I've learned to never feel good about anyhtinf when it comes to this tournament. But on paper, yes, I think I would agree. We do not match up well at all with UK they are definitely the team I don't want to see.

Didn't really pay attention to what he was saying, but I still stand by what I said.

 

[vols 30]

None of the CBS guys have us in final 4.

 

[CABVOL]

Im telling you right now, if Kentucky were to beat us a 3rd time to knock us out of the tournament, might as well dig my grave or fire up the furnace. Whatever you decide is fine. I’ve given @Freak power of attorney.

I feel ya. I live in the middle of Kentucky. Yay

 

[NOLAPhil]

Absolutely gross kentucky is in our bracket. Ncaa is still trash.

 

[VolGee4]

Absolutely gross and kentucky gets the gift of their home floor. Ncaa is still trash.

They can’t play on their home floor.

I would much prefer Utah State to UCLA. Utah State is a worse version of Alabama. Good offense. Terrible defense.

I think we’re a bad matchup for Houston. That game would be a rock fight

 

[i2amavol]

They’re the 11th best team per the committee. That’s such crap.

I'm warming up to it. The Sweet Sixteen is always a tough game any way it goes. Might as well be them.

 

[OrangeInKy]

I feel ya. I live in the middle of Kentucky. Yay

It’s brutal, I was there a total of 9 years, two different times. Im out of there now.

Would be 20,000 cat fans in nearby Indy.

More than that. 40,000
