Selection Sunday – Joyous Day (List Predictions)

Oh the joy of Selection Sunday, when you know your name will be called. Is any day (well, other than Glorious May Day) sweeter? Mark Gottfried goes 4-4, which is a nice preamble to what could be an extremely special Year Five. And hell, this season has been pretty special in its own right, at least in being an enjoyable (if somewhat turbulent) ride, following a likable group of kids who found themselves just in the nick of time.

The Politburo/Supreme Soviet asks the proletariat to kindly predict the wolven seed and Round of 32 matchup. NOTE: This is most certainly NOT assuming an opening round win, just that it’s too hard to predict that opponent, and I think this will be a fun exercise.

Officially, I am sticking with #8 and Kentucky. And I have decided that I am totally ok with that. Bring it on.

Whilst we wait, enjoy the first studio album of New Mexico’s finest (The Shins, since Walt’s blue meth is all seized by now):

    Glad to see the Toffees climbing out of the reach of the relegation zone. It was equally satisfying to see us knockout Tottenham early today.

    As for our pick, I am thinking a 9 seed and our next opponent being UK.

    If we do get wisconsin my wyes will not recover. I am watching them now and they basically have same style of uniform we have for tourney.

    FWIW, we would kick Gonzaga’s ass. Thusly, we would lose the 7/10 game. Because NC State.

    Kansas is who I don’t want to play.

    9th seed and Villanova.

    KY left the nets up after winning the SEC championship. Hope they don’t regret cutting some nets down this year. Here’s to wishful thinking.

    Anyone else pulling hard against UConn?
    It might be petty I guess, but really want to see Purvis toil in the NIT.

    If we do win our first round game, and it is anything like the Pitt win, the players should be banned from any media accolades. I truly think they had that problem when they played Duke in the ACC tourney. I heard what they were saying about giving Duke a good game, and how great Barber/Lacey were in the back court, and we see what they did against Duke. Just don’t know how to let it go in one ear and out the other. Previous wins don’t determine future wins. Showing up does.

    Hah, for once Purvis is scoring, and the rest of the team is giving him nothing.

    And if he left to be a PG, 0 assists is….not the way to do it.

    Lanardi has bubble guts playing UN*. That should be interesting.

    Wisconsin/Michigan State in a classic. Headed to OT. Wouldn’t want to face either of these teams.

    The Gonzaga thing would be fun. I hired a UW grad who grew up in Sponkane about six months ago so she’s a huge Gonzaga fan. The trash talk would be intense.

    I’m just thrilled not to be nervously sitting on the toilet awaiting the selection show … for a change.

    Nothing tops 2012 though when we were the very last team announced on the 11-line.

    So many possibilities for seeding and match-ups!

    #79927

    Kentucky, Nova, Duke, Wiscy 1-seeds I’m guessing.

    Lunardi has NC State as an 8th seed in Pittsburgh playing Archie Miller’s Dayton Flyers. Winner probably get Villanova.
