this is BS.
1. Twice in 3 years we get the 9 seed. Damnit, give us a 12 or a 13...we matchup better with the teams we could face in the second round than we do UConn.
2. How the hell did Tennessee get a 2 seed?
3. Kentucky again? Seriously, I wish we had someone new to beat.
4. Who's meeting me in the City of Brotherly Love?
Well, I guessed our seed right, unfortunately.
Tennessee as a 2 is Slive giving Pearl a blowjob for not getting SEC CoY.
My only worry about Kentucky is, as MB has posted, they are just as experienced as us. Morris would worry me if I thought UK had some depth behind him to give him a blow and stay fresh.
Waiting to see what time the games are and ticket/flight prices before I can make an attendance decision.
I've already booked my flight on SW. I'm there dude!

+100000
How did Bammer get a #10 seed? They have the worst record in their bracket.
Stunner ... at least you are consistent ...
Don't worry, Alpha. We'll avenge you. lmfao
We were 1-1 with the 'Cats this year and we beat five NCAA teams. Trouble is I have no idea which team will show up Thursday.
Good luck against UK.
I agree, what the hell is with the third 9-seed in 3 seasons? The winner of the 8/9 seed game typically ALWAYS has to match up with the No. 1 seed in their regional unless the #16 seed upseats the #1 seed in the first round (highly unlikely).
I mean, having to beat UK and then having to play UConn is just a bunch of crap. Like SLB said, why can't we be a damn 12 or 13 seed and have an easier ride in the Big Dance? Someone on the Selection Committee WANTS us to lose

Sax, we were the 11 seed last year. The 9 seed the year before.

I'm there brother. Flight is booked. Leaving Fri morning. Will arrive at 11:00am in philly
I don't know why I'm doing this...but, SAX: A 16 has NEVER beat a 1. The 8-9 match up ALWAYS gets the 1 seed in the second round.

I was wondering who was going to post that. I am glad you did... it has been all I could do to not say the same thing. lmfao
It has come close to happening a few times. It WILL happen one day.

Thank you, MB.

Don't mention it, you're still an idiot. ;-)

A #16 seed has played a #1 seed 70 or 80+ times and the #16 seed has never won. I agree with MB, a #16 will win one day. It may happen this year b/c Southern is a pretty good defensive/athletic team and you saw what happened to Duke today when they play a VERY athletic BC.
Yeah, it's eventually going to happen. Look at when the Boston Red Sox were down 3 games to none and came back and won 4 consecutive games against the Yankees in the playoffs, I think 2 years ago. For C-USA's sake, let's hope Memphis isn't the first one.
