NCAA 2024 Basketball Tournament Selections Sunday (Men's show begins at 4:00 PM MT on CBS and Women's at 6:00 PM MT on ESPN)

[Medford M.]

Why are the bid thieves seeded so high? Are they contractually not allowed to be lower than an 11 or be a play in team?

Conference champs generally get out of play in games.

 

[DBT]

To be fair the MWC was 7-1 vs Pac12

If we played CSU on a neutral court right now we’d beat them 8 of 10.

 

[Medford M.]

-2 vs Boise

Florida game could end up a pick'em

 

[t.d.c.buffs]

All right, now let's see what happens with the women's team! Selection Show on ESPN.

 

[ahoelsken]

How do we match up with Boise? Don't know much about them.

I DVR'd their loss to New Mexico Thursday night, and I'm going to go back and watch it-but looking at their Wikipedia page......here's what I see:

-They're a team Eddie could have a day against. Not very big at all. They have one 6'11" kid, but he's all of 230.
-Kid named Tyson Degenhart was their leading scorer 16 times. 6'8", 242 according to that. Going to need to defend him.
-No real bad loss on their resume. Worst loss is at home to UNLV.

Looks like somebody who we match up well with, but they're good.

 

[ahoelsken]

Boise and Florida fans don’t seem thrilled having us as a potential first game match up.

I think one team who has been sent to the first four has made the Round of 32.

If you have to bet on one of the four at larges to get there.....its us.

 

[t.d.c.buffs]

Oklahoma get's a 5-seed in NCAAW....hopefully that bodes well for our Buffs. Oregon State gets a 3.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Conference champs generally get out of play in games.

Right. The play-in games consist of:

- 4 lowest ranked (by the committee) AQ teams
- 4 lowest ranked at-large teams

Therefore 2 play-in games are 16 vs 16 seeds
The other 2 games are the last 4 who got in, which is usually two 11's going against each other or in the case of this year, two 10's going against each other

And schedule-wise, the two 16 vs 16 games are always the early games on Tuesday and Wednesday night, therefore we will be in the late game on Wed night (~10pm Eastern)

 

[Buffalo Brad]

Wow, Nubs play Texas A&M in both men and women. NCAA wanting the AD pissing match. What a sense of humor

 

[Medford M.]

I think one team who has been sent to the first four has made the Round of 32.

If you have to bet on one of the four at larges to get there.....its us.

I'm pretty sure two teams have made the final 4 from the play in game? What are you talking about?

 

[CarolinaBuff]

I think one team who has been sent to the first four has made the Round of 32.

If you have to bet on one of the four at larges to get there.....its us.

You mean that has happened every year? Interesting.

I know at least one First Four team has made it to the Final 4, VCU

 

[King_George_XXIV_Rules]

-2 vs Boise

We need revenge for the Myrtle Beach Massacre from last season's non-conference where Boise really crushed us. Three of our starters from that game who are no longer with the team combined for a total of 13 points (Nique - 8, Gabbidon - 4, LL - 1).

 

[FM-Buff]

You mean that has happened every year? Interesting.

I know at least one First Four team has made it to the Final 4, VCU

And UCLA two years ago

 

[t.d.c.buffs]

It's a 5-seed for us. :/

Going to Manhattan Kansas to play Drake.

 

[CarolinaBuff]

Damm, CU women don't end up hosting and will play in Manhattan against Drake, and then probably KSU

 

[Buffalo Brad]

5 seed with a shot to play Caitlin again

 

[MarkW]

Damm, CU women don't end up hosting and will play in Manhattan against Drake, and then probably KSU

Buffs were probably one conference win away from hosting.

If they get their mojo back they have a shot at making it past their future conference foes.

 

[SFBuff]

Damm, CU women don't end up hosting and will play in Manhattan against Drake, and then probably KSU

Tough draw IMO

 

[cnbuff410]

Very tough draw for ladies, we will have to see which team will show up

 

[t.d.c.buffs]

Hopefully the brutality of the PAC-12 conference schedule has prepared the women's team for the NCAA. K-State is good. I don't know how they would have fared with our schedule this season... IF the Buffs play to their full potential, they can go far in the dance this year.

 

[Goose]

**** Kansas State.

 

[t.d.c.buffs]

ARIZONA women's team got a spot (play-in). Wow. Aren't they down to like 7 players or something?!

 

[ahoelsken]

You mean that has happened every year? Interesting.

I know at least one First Four team has made it to the Final 4, VCU

UCLA in 2021 did it too. I lied. It didn't happen in 2019.

 

[ahoelsken]

**** Kansas State.

Going to be awfully fun to renew that rivalry starting next year in everything lol

 

[Goose]

No it’s not. **** them. They can’t talk ****.

 

[ahoelsken]

Basically the at-large bids are 10 and higher. AQ's that wouldn't make the tourney otherwise are your 11 and lower. Thus you may be the last at-large bid but you will still be seeded higher than a worse auto qualifier. AQ's with the exception of the 16's get automatic byes.

Bubble at larges. Arizona is technically an at large.

Let's see if the *********** can somehow manage to avoid losing to another 15. Dan Monson and Long Beach got really hot this week holy hell.

 

[ahoelsken]

No it’s not. **** them. They can’t talk ****.

They're better at it than like half the Pac 12 fanbases.

 

[Buffalo Brad]

9:10eastern tip on Wed on Tru

Put the bong down. Screaming “EMAW” and “you can’t farm for ****” is hardly smack talk.
