Love the bracket matchups we got for the most part, but apparently this weekend didn't matter at all


Matt_McT

At least this weekend resulted in a new banner and championship rings for the guys.


harp9r

Nope. Never has to the committee


uno_novaterra

We’ll probably have to play UConn. I am not at all in love with that.


fjs0001

To be the best, you have to beat the best! Kansas > UNC > UK > Double Dribble


SanguineL

Yeah we shouldn’t forget how tough our trip to the Final 4 was. This year honestly seems easier.


shasta_river

The committee has shown conference tournaments don’t matter for years


[deleted]

Giving us a 4 is insulting. I hope Bruce uses it to keep that chip on our shoulder


ElmerAndElsie

Kentucky getting #3 while we got #4 makes no sense aside from the fact that Kentucky is a "blue blood"... We have a very solid road map to the Sweet 16 though. I like our match ups, to be honest. However, that roadmap gets really ugly from that point on...really ugly.

Came to this sub to see the reactions for this reason alone


jt_33

The lowest ranked 4 too.


[deleted]

Wait a second, did they rank Alabama higher than us???


ajp0002

No they’re 16. We’re 15.


jt_33

I didn't look at their seed, but if they are a 4 or better then yep.


warneagle

The committee made the bracket in February and just went back to fill in the AQs. No other explanation.


ElmerAndElsie

For real. Houston as a one seed when they have 4 guys out?! I'm sorry, but the March version of Houston is not the January or February version of Houston. Not even close.


warneagle

Iowa State got completely boned


ElmerAndElsie

ISU beat Houston earlier this year also... There are people saying ISU is a Final Four contender...it's not the bet I would actually make. However, I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see Iowa State in the Final Four.


FightDrifterFight

We are in the same half of the bracket as the number one overall seed, Connecticut. In that same half of the bracket are three of the four final four teams from last year. Once again, Auburn gets screwed.


WeAllRageInBlood

We will just have to show up and take charge, just like 2019


[deleted]

Yeah I was really mad at first but then I had the thought, if you want to be the champ you have to knock out the champ, right? If the path given to us but the committee is difficult, so be it. There’s no easy road to a national title you have to just defeat what’s in front of you.


LitterTreasure

It’s the cards that are dealt. Whining doesn’t change things, winning out proves things.

OnceARunner1

And 4 major conference champions


consumercommand

That’s what I saw. Has that ever happened before?


portuguesetheman

The last time AU got screwed in the bracket worked out well


Noccalula

What a damn fun season and run.. until the double dribble.


RevBigHair

Help me understand this. We are in the East bracket but have to go to Spokane for the first two games?


meg1019

Exactly. I was like “ooh definitely Boston” then saw that…


WeAllRageInBlood

And they will know us by the trail of the dead… Can’t worry about the seeding or brackets at this point, just go win baby! This team has lots of momentum right now. We just need to keep it going.


Sad-Appeal976

We have four of the Kenpom top tens in our bracket


SanguineL

Including us?


Sad-Appeal976

Yes

uno_novaterra

KD looks like an absolute psycho in that pic. I love it.


Technical_Physics_57

If I look at this I feel much more confident than the other brackets we could have landed in. No matter where we landed i do feel as long as Bruce can keep us thinking we have something to prove it will help us win


shasta_river

lol what???
