Title: Our Bracket...
Post by: cas4ksu on March 15, 2010, 09:38:59 AM
Is it the toughest ever drawn up in the history of the NCAA Torn-ament?

I mean if we just get to the Final 4 out of this thing you may as well already hang a banner.

Anyone else think that Onuaku is actually hurt worse than 'Cuse is letting on and that they're lying about the severity of the injury in attempt to hang on that 1 seed?

Hardest I have seen since they started with 64 teams.  I know it has been said but THE COMMITTEE DID US NO FAVORS.

Why us?   :cry:

It is kind of b.s. that somehow BYU dropped to a 7 seed and then happens to land in 'our' bracket. 

This is what I think of the other Regional 7-10 matchups --------->   :lol: :lol: (ftp://:lol: :lol:)

I looked at that bracket and thought WTF. Aren't you supposed to be rewarded as a No. 2 seed and a good season? Obviously, someone on the committee has an agenda.

Baylor as a 3 seed has a much easier road than the Cats.
Oh well, you have to beat the best to be the best.

I ran some numbers and since the start of the 64 team format, this is clearly the toughest region ever put together (only two were even remotely close and those were in the early 90s).

Is it after this season they institute the 'K-State Rule' like the BCS did after we got jobbed in 98?

If you're asking should we expect new rules by the NCAA to prevent this from happening in the future, then I would say yes.  Definitely.

Going into the selection I was on a huge high, it felt like I was making out with a super hot chick.  Then, as I was watching our bracket unfold it was like watching a high def video of that same girl sucking the devils cack and bolls minutes before kissing me.  I was left unsettled and scared.

Is it the toughest ever drawn up in the history of the NCAA Torn-ament?

I mean if we just get to the Final 4 out of this thing you may as well already hang a banner.




Your bracket is pretty soft, especially with Syracuse limping into the tournament.  I have them going down to Gonzaga in the 2nd round.

No less impressed than when Maryland lost to William and Mary or Michigan State's 3 game losing streak.

BTW, did you find it odd that the 2 teams who beat uk were in there bracket  :dunno:  I mean, I'm pretty sure uk will be pumped up to see them and would end up probably smoking them a second time through, but it just seemed odd to me.
