2025 Selection Show Tournament discussion

[tyappleg 6,907]

West Virginia not making it is crazy.

[WeeDerkaNaut 580]

Guess we'll find out who our new coach is soon, assuming he's not still in the tournament.

But but but, I was told by many here we were a lock to be in! Lmao 

[Hoosier Guy 8,239]

Bye, Woodson.  Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

[Ryno6284 4,082]

I NEED QUESTIONS ANSWERED!

[hoopsta007 454]

Sorry but there is no way that UNC, Texas, and Xavier are all ahead of us. Their resumes are polar opposites with us in the middle of each metric

Tbf, even the selection show was like “UNC over IU” is crazy.

 

100% political trying to prop up the ACC. NCAA tournament is the only little bit of power the ncaa has left

You gonna have this same energy after the coach is announced? 

[LamarCheeks 21,454]

UNC's athletic director is the tourney chair. 

Hmmm ... 

[Ryno6284 4,082]

Maybe Scott put in request to keep us out...That way we can grenade the tourney with an announcement tomorrow?

Just depends on what the committee values year to year.  They didn’t value what we offered.  We should have never been in that position.  That is on IU.  It’s a human process.  Don’t all yourself to be that position.

Hmmm ... 

Ewwww that's not ok at all.

[mdn82 26,212]

Lmfao the UNC AD was the chair.  Ok, that makes sense.  Yeah, there are protocols.  But lol, come on man.

Seems fair...

[LamarCheeks 21,454]

To act as if Bubba Cunningham being the tourney chair had no effect on UNC getting in is laughable.

But the committee twisted its values in a pretzel to get the teams they wanted in.  There isn’t a compelling argument to be made that Xavier, UNc, and Texas were all ahead of us.  If it was schedule then Texas is out.  If it is quality wins Xavier and UNC are out
