Not only that, but the people on espn and CBS both saying to watch out for Oakland to upset.. HA!

[ForeverADog]

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 got hosed.  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]

its just a case of some poor soul just not liking Texas. period

The committee made some questionable decisions today.. The NIT is going to have legit teams this year

The Big 12 was questionable.  Colorodo out even though they beat #5 KState 3 times, Texas a 4 seed, A&M a 7 seed???


This tourney is wide open. There are no dominant teams in the country.  Good Luck in your brackets!

[TradinUp BH]

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]

Wait A&M will play Notes Dame not UT... but third game for Texas is the defending National Champions Duke!!!

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 :)

Your right, my bad. 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]

I heard the same thing on the radio this morning!! It made my day!!

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.

I agree 100% with the ESPN guys and anybody else who has basketball logic.. How can they honestly but UAB and VCU in that field before: Colorado, VT, Alabama, or Saint Mary's?

[Guest baseball25]

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]

I would have put VT in before UAB

i see where you're coming from with Texas, but they had as many good wins as anyone in the country, and they made their conference championship game, losing to the #2 team in the country.  I hate how the committee uses current form in some cases to justify seeding, and then ignores it in other situations.
