You bums were afraid of a spreadsheet.
I still don’t remember anyone being afraid.You bums were afraid of a spreadsheet.
A whole host of people on this board cried about getting Auburn-Iowa State-Illinois, in particular Iowa State because they "should have been a 1-seed" and Auburn because "they should have been a 2."I still don’t remember anyone being afraid.
But do you.
They are a 3 seed.Illinois as #10 overall B10 tournament champs as the 4 seed was also part of the issue.
It’s been beat over your head but I’ll try again.A whole host of people on this board cried about getting Auburn-Iowa State-Illinois, in particular Iowa State because they "should have been a 1-seed" and Auburn because "they should have been a 2."
Illinois was a 3 seed. They're the best 3 seed (which makes sense for the worst 2 seed), and by the Elite 8 you expect to play elite teams.
People cried over spreadsheets and suggested the committee tried to screw us. It was laughable. That's why I'm laughing.We had the hardest bracket region, only one school gets to come out of each region, that means every other school in the region has to lose to somebody.
No one is very good. They were the better of the not very goods though.People cried over spreadsheets and suggested the committee tried to screw us. It was laughable. That's why I'm laughing.
Auburn and Iowa State feasted mostly on bum teams and when the lights turned on they weren't very good.
Iowa State was the worst 2 seed. Just because the metrics said otherwise doesn't matter. They gamed the metrics. People literally could not believe that mediocre Iowa State team wasn't the best 2 seed. They weren't even close.It’s been beat over your head but I’ll try again.
Thats not fear.
Thats expecting the most favorable protected seeds as a reward for being the number 1 overall seed.
No one UConn fan didn’t think we couldn’t/wouldnt win anyway.
You continually miss the point.
Cool.Iowa State was the worst 2 seed. Just because the metrics said otherwise doesn't matter. They gamed the metrics. People literally could not believe that mediocre Iowa State team wasn't the best 2 seed. They weren't even close.
Auburn was not the best 4 seed.
That's been my point. It's the point you've been missing.
Illinois is probably the best 3 seed, but that's what you get with an S-curve.
NoIn light of the big 12's struggles, would anyone be surprised if Duke beat houston?
You weren't afraid. Perhaps you didn't think that, once again, the whole world was out to get UConn. But many were. It's a common theme. Everyone hates UConn. They put these very good teams in here to get us. They weren't that good! They were what the committee thought they were.Cool.
I don’t care enough or know enough about metrics to argue.
The point is you keep spamming that fans were “afraid”. And you’re just lying.
I was in those threadsYou weren't afraid. Perhaps you didn't think that, once again, the whole world was out to get UConn. But many were. It's a common theme. Everyone hates UConn. They put these very good teams in here to get us. They weren't that good! They were what the committee thought they were.
You clearly weren't in the Selection Sunday threads here enough to see people freak out. They aren't hard to find.
We had a thread on this board of people concerned we didn't have the capacity to guard LeDee.
Dan Hurley agrees with every fan who thought the committee intentionally gave them a hard draw
You still watch PTI?He absolutely does not believe the committee intentionally gave them a hard draw. He creates imagined slights to keep them dialed in. He admitted as much to Kornheiser.
I think this whole complaining about our bracket being tough has been completely misunderstood. Now im not going ot speak for everyone but speaking for myself and you seem to pretty much say it and that is i was in no way afraid of anyone in our bracket its just the blatant disrespect by the committee of not rewarding us for being the #1 by sticking 3 other conference champs in our bracket which no one else got. They also conveniently put duke in the south as a 4 when they clearly shouldve been in the East and when asked one of the committee members gave a lame excuse that completely fell apart if you used any logic and thought about it for 2 minutes. That being said bring anyone on.We really gotta have a thread on this subject after every win?
We had the hardest bracket region, only one school gets to come out of each region, that means every other school in the region has to lose to somebody.
We just so happen to be a wagon so it shouldn’t matter, but that doesn’t mean our draw wasn’t the hardest on paper.
He created the hill and you're on it, fighting.You’re dying on an imaginary hill
You don’t have to
No. He doesn't. Listen to his PTI interview. He admits he doesn't think the committee did that. Because they didn't.Dan Hurley agrees with every fan who thought the committee intentionally gave them a hard draw
In my defense I was quite drunk when I posted that.They are a 3 seed.
Which was the correct seed. They were the best 3 seed IMO, but a 3 seed was right because they didn't beat anyone all that good this year. They didn't even beat Purdue to win the tournament title.
The interview was posted here. Great way to respond when someone points out you were wrong.You still watch PTI?
How bad was the karma I generated last week with the same title and essentially same body paragraph about Auburn?this thread is bad karma.
