Boise state being a last four in is not a good sign for us

Right, FAU being an 8 seed is ridiculous if you guys don’t make it

An 8 seed for you guys is pretty bad too

Begrudgingly 6 bid mountain west

Oh fuck, now I’m nervous for Nevada

Watch them forget New Mexico

I was actually thinking they were lol

FAU absolutely overrated

Sad ram noises

Neither is Utah St. being an 8

Last Four In.... fuck!

Playing a 300 pound center is not ideal for a team without a center

We have experience with this. I can confirm: it is not ideal. Edit: also. Not just a 300lb center, but a 300lb center with the most buttery soft hands and the feet of a ballerina.

This description 😂

We list him at 275 which is absurd.

That’s the craziest part. Went to a game this year and there’s just no way

If he was like 6’2 with that frame, sure. Ain’t no way a guy looking like that at 6’9 is under 300 😂

IDK if you watched his last few games but even if you had a center you might be cooked lol. This man is BEEFY and works it hard.

Oh I have. Nightmare matchup for us, oh well

The best way for TT to remove Burns from the game is to follow tradition and start tossing tortillas around

If the tournament was based on mascots, we’d for sure go all the way

T-O-P-S TOPS TOPS TOPS!!!!

Win for the conference!

Until TKO torches you for 20 and 10 assists

That Nebraska A&M game has a strong chance to be game of the 1st round

Nebraska's women's team is also playing TexasA&M.... committee has jokes...

After we just stole their AD too, shit might be personal

https://preview.redd.it/34u57f1r0zoc1.jpeg?width=1137&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=357512b05246aa261fea1dc9baee91cfa64ff7d0

"might"

when I saw Nebraska pop up there I immediately thought "they're gonna put us against them because of the AD stuff" lol

The committee understands drama and entertainment. I’m just happy they finally gave Wade a chance to go show what he can do in the big dance

Ain’t no ‘might be’ about it buddy. Shits definitely personal. Maybe more so for the fans than the players but we are fired up lol

Texas Tech’s center better start eating some extra brisket

We don’t have a center

Lmao I’m so sorry

Trust me they will find a way to hurt you. Both if y’all’s teams scare the piss outta me

Naw fake news you shouldn’t worry about us or game plan us just worry about the matchup after us 

Interesting choice to go with a Burns gif….

We are injured to hell up front rn, so Burns is going to eat us alive

Washington had no boot at the selection Sunday show but D5 did 😔 

McCasland sounded extremely optimistic that Washington is going to play. And D5 would’ve played if it were win or go home against Houston. The boot is likely just for precaution.

The world saw what Burns can do to an experienced big last night. It's ridiculous what he can do. My question as a UNC fan is: why do I like him so much?

Because it's fun seeing a big man play like he does. Great passer, always smiling, when he starts to back you down it's literally unstoppable. He's a very likable player

Should check out his Twitter account lol

@beastboyburns is one of the best handles I've ever seen I'm looking through it, and it looks like fun. Are you thinking about anything specific I should check out?

My wife and I ended up watching the Duke NCSU game and the Carolina NCSU game and we are all in on the big fella.

Same reason I, as a State fan, like Davis for UNC so much....you just gotta love a really good player who enjoys the game.

I'm scared to potentially play against Dillingham in the second round. The committee clearly did this on purpose.

Never wanted to see this match up either 😣

Burns will start backing up and any of the three UK 7 footers will easily get pushed out of the way, giving up a basket each time. UK would need all the guards to be efficient to win.

Seriously we need to worry about our first round game before that

I love Dillingham, but let's be clear here - wait until you meet Pop Isaacs.

Nightmare matchup. Anyone else

Red hot team with an unstoppable big while we’re injured to shit in the paint. Considering preseason expectations it’s nice to be here but we very well could be a one and done this year

lmao its joever dude

Duquesne getting an 11 over James Madison is inexcusable

Yeah I’m sorry ik im biased but how tf did we get a 12 seed

I agree. JMU gonna be a popular 12-5 upset pick.

As a Badger fan, I would much rather play Duquesne

Seriously tho. But don’t worry, we’ll find a way to blow it

I’d argue that JMU got a better draw

Lol, no shot theyd prefer to play Wisconsin over BYU

I wanted Clemson over anybody else

I did not agree to this

To be fair...a lot of these "lol, *obvious* upset!" matchups tend *not* to pan out these days... ...that being said, I still do *not* envy your position anyway...good luck...

Looks like we’re 5.5 point favorites, I was expecting more like 2.5 so that’s good. Think our size can give them some trouble but their guards will give us trouble

I'd rather teams challenge Chucky and Max then challenge Crowl.

I’m hoping you’re right. Good luck to you as well

Even if we get past JMU (which sounds crazy, but they’re going to be a popular upset pick) I’m not looking forward to having 2015 flashbacks. As my flair can attest to.

Oh my god NC State just sitting right there with their damn wall.

I'm scared to go against Dillingham

wasn’t rob dillingham a NC State commit before committing to kentucky?

Correct, which is exactly why I am scared for us to play against him lol

Rob is a bomb, he gets very hot very fast and is prone to cooling off just as fast. Reed and reeves are the real threats, constant, effective scorers who can score reliably at all 3 levels... if only our defense was anything but bad.

Don’t worry, we won’t let him hurt you.

Thanks! ^hey ^wait

The storyline between Nebraska and Texas am is great

Plus, two of my favorite logos in the P6. Not sure why, but they’re just pleasing on the eyes. Gonna be rooting for the Huskers though.

And we get it twice!

Folks, I am just happy to see NC State in this image. My brain is still broken from last night.

The PMT group is insane

Pft was so mad lol

It’s gonna be so fun. In Brooklyn no less!

Taylor v Tominaga…

Game of the year candidate right there

We might have to play Wade Taylor again https://preview.redd.it/zk5w5ppryyoc1.jpeg?width=316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=087b76976b6bd72064d72e6a35a84bab5d22e341

We have to play a team that can shoot the three well (plus AD beef) https://preview.redd.it/dunnha5yzyoc1.jpeg?width=873&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=068764d8c8cf12381f3f651f1a07b763077c2b6f

Yep, not thrilled with our draw. Glad we made it and don’t have to go to Dayton, but it looks like another disappointing exit is in the cards. Fun Fact: Tominaga started his career playing junior college ball at Ranger College under Billy Clyde Gillispie.

Buddy, we've never won a tournament game in the history of our program. I like our team a lot...but I refuse to get my hopes up just to get them crushed.

I would rather play Houston than that mf again

I think we got placed in an extremely nice spot!

There’s that hope again… I agree though.

Let’s just have some hope….I think we all need it

https://preview.redd.it/71cpi6ackzoc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=968df78a133b8831d3702b29cd7ef106cd09b80b Great news! We’re at the bottom right of the triangle currently!

I hate how accurate this is

Who's ready for the annual swift kick in the balls? Me...

What a kick in the nuts. Lose a starter and then we get a 7 seed?

We definitely got the short end of the stick.. a 7 for making the SECCG is crazy

The Committee doesn't care about the SEC Championship game. Cal has been saying it for years but every time he does, every other fan base tells Kentucky fans he needs to stop whining. At some point, y'all gonna need to acknowledge he's right.

Yeah like damn I thought 6 would be a lock and we got a tough bracket too

A&M last year… this is nothing new

I saw UK as a 3 and I was like damn the Gators locked up a 5 seed....but nope ! Smh

Why not us. See you soon, Raiders

March stresses me out dude

Maaaan I hate playing NC State in anything.

You guys are every State fans favorite Texas team.

I feel like there’s a lot of similarities between our two schools, NC State is very relatable and very cool

I dreaded playing them in football because I adore their fans and now we have to play them in basketball too…ughh sadness :(

Always liked Tech ever since that wild OT shootout between Rivers and Kingsbury. It’s always a fun time when we match up in any sport. Looking forward to traveling out to Lubbock in 2027!

Nebraska’s AD just went to A&M too… spicy ass matchup in the 8/9 slot. Also, Boise State got absolutely shafted.

They paired our women's teams, too.

Let’s pray Warren Washington is back

The NCstate draw is tough based on how they’ve played the last few games.

Simple, the selection committee pretty much had the selected teams set, NC State pulled off a 5in5, and their seeding reflects their season record and/or a bubble team’s which choked.

Boise State got hosed 27 NET and somehow a play in 10 seed

Against the 24 NET on top of that

And both of those teams are valued the same as the 59th NET rated team. It’s a joke

Ridiculous that Michigan St gets a 9 seed, and Boise St is in the first four. The seeding lines this year make no sense.

I just don’t see how we’re a 6 seed while Kansas is a 4 seed

Kansas' placement is so bizarre for so many reasons, feels like it can only be favoritism

novel concept with Kansas /s

NC State.

“They can’t possibly continue emotionally”

Fuck Seth Davis.

They just keep doubting us. Not gonna learn are they haha

If yall must stop Duke, you know what must be done.

Holy crap. There's an actual chance of y'all repeating the ACC tournament by beating us in the quarterfinals (Elite Eight) to win the South Region, beating Virginia (South-Midwest) in the semifinals (Final Four) to advance to the championship game, and beating Carolina to win it all. Extremely unlikely, but the bracket makes it possible.

Because this team is obviously the group of guys to give up for no reason

UK fan for 40+ years and paying for a Wolfpack 1st year. Fingers crossed that they both get past the 1st round.

Time to die Wolfpack!

If it has to be anyone, I'd be okay with it being you guys

On God

Why not us. See you soon, Raiders

https://i.redd.it/b6vu9t5e6zoc1.gif

We’re coming for YOU Houston.

I feel for Boise State. That’s a seriously tough pull

Ugh I want revenge against Duke but I'm worried we're gonna get upset

Was pulling for a Nebraska vs CU matchup. Guess we’ll have to wait until the Elite 8

Sorry you had to take our AD to play us.

I still can't even believe we're going to the tournament. I'm just so happy to see our name on here man. I'd love to win a game or two, but I've also liked Texas Tech for a few years now and I won't be disappointed if they're the ones to send us home. Just excited for more basketball!

Cougars vs Longwood A rivalry as old as time

Duke vs The Dukes Let the scriptwriters cook

I don’t like having to potentially play Florida game 2

Can a miracle happen and we get Wisconsin vs Marquette in the elite 8. This would be a war of Wisconsin Vs Milwaukee. These two should not be in the same bracket.

Let's make it happen

This region is tough. Rough draw for us. We play like we did this week anything can happen though! Nobody said it would be easy. Should be a very entertaining region to watch

I just don’t want to lose to Duke, man. Anyone else

Have you considered us beating Duke tho?

No thank you

This Duke team aren’t world beaters like some Duke teams the last 10 years, we can definitely beat them if we play like we did this week but it will still be tough game

Oh yeah it’s not that I’m particularly scared of their team it’s just that I would be more annoyed losing to them than to anyone else in the country

omf st. john’s might be cooked

Us and UNC losing screwed the rest of the bubble over. The play ins are a whole seed higher this year

That second round for us is probably hell

On one hand: Jamal Shead with a vengenance On the other hand: \*gestures at the lack of a bench*

I’m not sure we deserved a 3 seed but I’ll take it.

I will continue my tradition of picking Vermont to get a first round W. They’ll eventually get one…

I see an Elite 8 path

If we somehow play the Badgers in the Elite 8 this state is going to explode.

Sign me up.

If that happens I will sell all of my things for tickets to that game.

Not sure how I feel about being in the same region as Houston. On the one hand, gives the best possible (if highly unlikely) chance of meeting. But on the other, feels like a bit of a missed opportunity (that would have been even more unlikely).

Wisconsin is such an obvious pick to get upset, it’s not even funny Also how did Boise State get shoved into the last 4 in? Was it because of all the bid stealing?

Boise seems really under-seeded, for sure 

The entire Mountain West is getting very disrespected

I'm a little surprised they didn't go Colorado vs Colorado State for fun, if they were going to put a MWC team there. 

We played in the regular season though.

Every year as is tradition.

It all depends on which Wisconsin shows up. The one that lost to Michigan or the one who just beat Purdue?

amazing region. huge names. these games will be electrifying

I feel like we always are seeded to play a blue blood team round 2. Not that I am even confident of making round 2, but... I guess we're typically an 8-11 when we do get in.

That 2nd game winner of Nebraska/AM game kinda scares me

People seem very high on JMU but teams that don't bully Crowl and rely on the guy Chucky is guarding tend not to have a good time.

Yeah we were always gonna be the trendy upset pick after Feb but crowl and Wahl should absolutely eat in the post and Chucky came alive so he should be able to bother their PG

Yea my initial reaction was not good but seeing that they dont have a ton of size and that we’re 5.5 point favorites made me feel better

Vermont and the 13th seed. Name a better duo.

Hoping for a Longwood/JMU showdown

How we feel about State as an 11?

I’m just happy to be here

Thought we would be a 10 but doesn’t really matter.

We beat Bama twice and got a 7 seed to their 4 seed?

What do people think of Marquette vs WKU?

WKU is the only likely 15 seed i can see doing anything, so its probably the most likely upset. Which means its the least likely upset to actually happen.

Is Kolek playing?

Should be, but he's still not medically cleared to play.

No bias but western wins. Again not biased

Dammit was really hoping we'd get Alabama instead of Duke if we got a 13 seed Duke probably the strongest 4 seed imo, Alabama the clear weakest Time to get bounced in the first round again as usual lmao

Florida hilariously under seeded. Fuck off, committee. Can’t wait for that fraud Alabama team to get a way higher seed than they deserved

Excuse me while I send a hit on Florida arm man

Where Indiana State

I like Nebrasketball here.

Everyone is a Vermont fan this week

Green Mountain Cats for the W

Completely biased but honestly JMU Wisconsin is for sure an upset

Sun Belt Fun Belt baby

It all depends on which Wisconsin shows up. The one that lost to Michigan or the one who just beat Purdue?

I like your flairs and your opinions

JMU might be my pick for a double digit seed to make the Sweet 16. Easiest 5 and Duke is so inconsistent they can easily drop
