    Selection Sunday - Live Thread

    About a half hour until we start seeing the bracket.

    Looks like Duke will be #1 overall, with Virginia and Gonzaga also 1-seeds. The fourth one could be MSU if they win here, but I’m guessing UNC gets it. Everyone loves the ACC but it ain’t even the toughest conference.

    Anyways, I’m getting excited for this bracket release. I’m sure there’ll be plenty for people to complain about, as always.

    Does the committee go with the successful mid majors like Belmont, UNCG or the middling power 5 teams like TCU and Ohio State?

    Crazy thing is the bubble shrunk a lot this weekend. Washington, VCU, Gonzaga, Nevada losing their tourneys popped some bubbles. I think Belmont gets in, TCU out, OSU in

    MSU deserves a 1-seed. Only regular season + tourney champ sweep in power 5. Hope they get it, not sure they will though.

    Been forever since I haven’t worried about who is on the bubble. Don’t care who gets in. Looking forward to Dickie V losing his mine because he doesn’t realize there’s not enough room for everyone. A Belmont snub will really get him going. I’m always on the Power 5 teams side. Mid majors all have a great chance already to get in. It’s called winning the autobid.

    NCAA supposedly had 4 brackets ready to put out so makes me think that MSU may get it. They deserve it over the Zags. Those Indiana and Illinois losses though has UNC ahead of them, in my eyes.

    They only lost to Duke and FSU. No chance they don’t deserve it. May think they suck but I’m guessing that has to do with their past tourney results.

    Hokies going to be dangerous with Robinson back, but they aren't getting past Duke.

    How did Spatry get put in the Duke bracket. They are the top #1 seed, doesn't that mean Sparty is the last #2? I don't get that.

    Sparty got to stay in the East so they were probably the top #2. Didn’t get shipped out West.

    Pretty sure top #1 gets paired with bottom #2.

    Miss State may take care of the Dukies anyway. VaTech another tough out on their side.

    I’m not sure. I thought they try to keep top seeds close to home before anything. I’m sure MSU would rather go to LA with Gonzaga.

    What Oklahoma got a 9 seed. I thought most had them out or not? Surprised Ole Miss got an 8 seed, thought they 'd be more of an 11 seed.
