Official Selection Sunday Thread

[Buddr]

IMHO........

Thanks that's what I thought to, actually you could call this the NIT game (Not In Tournament) until it is won.

 

[SUDSDRINKER]

11 seed book it...and a SWEET 16 appearance as well! GO VOLS!!:rock:

After we beat Iowa.....What I SAID!

 

[UTBasketball2]

Here's to hoping we get trounced by Iowa so I can welcome Bruce back with arms wide open

*Sigh*

 

[Pacer92]

This is payback for the SEC whipping so much ass in football...

 

[volmanbill]

still a play in game no matter the spin... was introduced by the AA as a play-in game and will always be a play-in game. but Vol fans prob happy with that and with Cuonzo.. because the program was on the skids when CCM took over....

lol:lol:lol:

So if we lose, I guess we're eligible for the NIT, right?

 

[golfballs]

Year after year what makes me the most irritated is that they aren't consistent at all. There is literally no standard they adhere to. It's just willy nilly

 

[Volstylexx]

So we officially were the last team In. Who saw that coming ?

 

[#JuanVol]

Looks like we play Wednesday night

 

[Mullins2010]

I'd rather lose the the play in game than win the NIT tourney

 

[Goldencuonzohut]

Smu got robbed

 

[DowntownVol]

Something to consider: did BYU get out of the play-in game (and bump us into it) because they can't play on Sundays?

 

[omghulkhands]

So if this were a 64 team tournament then we don't make it in as the 65th team. sigh

 

[patrick]

We are progressing. Next year we may actually get a seed.

next year the Vols will be lucky to above .500

 

[zaqhhh]

Our Rpi is 15 higher than Iowa and 5 higher than the next best play in.... Smh tuck the fourney!

After we smash Iowa, we'll beat Umass, then beat Duke watch and see....smh I know those guys feel disrespected

The felt disrespected 2 yrs in a row with NIT bids and we know how that went....this is bull.

Good point. It was on the skids due to Pearl. We were picked 11 of 12 in the SEC when he took over for a reason.

Don't bother

 

[catchnburn]

Can't believe people are celebrating! I don't consider the Play-In game to be a part of the NCAA Tournament unless you win then and only then you can say you are in!

Would've preferred to have been left out completely.




Yes I'm excited bc I get to watch real post season basketball.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

No we weren't, that wasn't listed in order

We were 11, Nc state and Xavier both 12s

 

[ric1958]

This does not changed the fact that this team as talented as it is should have easily made the NCAA.

 

[volatil]

Man that A10 conference must have been tough

 

[utvolkyle06]

Can someone break down Iowa for us. I have not followed them at all. Thanks

 

[DocVOLiday]

Whens our game? Wed?

 

[SpringBokVol]

I am happy to get in but we could have easily been left out.

 

[VolGee4]

Regardless of how the NCAA and how certain posters try to spin it, playing in a "play-in" game by definition means you have to win the "play-in" game to "play-in" the the NCAAT.

The best of CONzo is a play-in game........Well we will have another year of CONzo........let the mediocrity continue....

Just shut up. How come everything has to be negative? Good grief. I was disappointed at some results this year but this crap gets old. Be happy to watch us play again.
