ForeverADog Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Posted March 13, 2011 No I have watched Oakland play 4 times this year. They are a very good team. I think they are just getting a bad matchup with Texas. Oakland is legit though.

They were saying they were a #1 seed if they beat Kansas when they were talking last night. I would've been okay with a #3 because of their recent form, but their overall body of work deserves a #2.
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted March 13, 2011 Report Posted March 13, 2011 its just a case of some poor soul just not liking Texas. period
CThoops Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 The committee made some questionable decisions today.. The NIT is going to have legit teams this year

There are no dominant teams in the country. Good Luck in your brackets!
TradinUp BH Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 I think Texas should've been at worse a 3 seed and A & M a 5 seed. The Texas schools got the shaft on seeding. Texas has to play ND second game if both win. Crazy for a second round and I'm not a Longhorn fan.
aTmfan06 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Wait A&M will play Notes Dame not UT... but third game for Texas is the defending National Champions Duke!!!
bullets13 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 I was listening to Doug Gottlieb on the way to work, and he used the term "eviscerated" when referring to how the Big 12 was treated on Selection Sunday. He said that Texas deserved a #2, but then went ahead and picked them to advance to the final 4 anyway :)

That's worse to draw Duke in 3rd game. You would think that Texas would've gotten a weaker #1 side of bracket in the tourney. I guess they're play at the end of the season excluding the Big 12 tourney hurt them.
aTmfan06 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 I heard the same thing on the radio this morning!! It made my day!!
bullets13 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 The Big XII as a whole got shafted. Texas as a #4, aTm as a #7, Mizzou as a #11, and Colorado getting snubbed? What a joke.

How can they honestly but UAB and VCU in that field before: Colorado, VT, Alabama, or Saint Mary's?
Guest baseball25 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 Texas lost 4 out of the last 7 games thats what hurt them and the reason why they got a 4 seed, A&M is about right though they got blown out in 3 games against Texas, and they lost to Baylor twice and BC from the acc and also lost to Nebraska, same thing for Mizz they lost 4 out last 7 games and the last 5 games they have lost 4 out of 5 but mizz should have been around a 9 and for as colorado they did get snubbed, but what killed them was there out of conference SOS was like 245 in the nation!!!! The committee always talks about the WHOLE BODY OF WORK and I guess the non-conf schedule killed them but no doubt I believe Colorado beats VCU and UAB!!! I mean what about Harvard they got screwed too
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted March 14, 2011 Report Posted March 14, 2011 I would have put VT in before UAB

I hate how the committee uses current form in some cases to justify seeding, and then ignores it in other situations.
