I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing we'll be somewhere in the 7-10 range in a regional location east of the Mississippi River.

3/13/2015 11:41:21 PM

I predict we are in the tournament.

#9 seed, Kentucky region. We will complain about having to play UK and then State will go out and lose by 20 to Ohio State or whoever the fuck is the #8 seed.

3/14/2015 4:36:41 AM

So, like, how does this work y'all? Does Gott have to wait in anticipation like everybody else, or does he just get a phone call before the broadcast?

3/14/2015 5:56:51 AM

Gott and the team have to watch the show like everyone else. Hence the celebrations last year and 2012.

Does NCCU have a chance, or is that over?

They really should expand the field to 128.

3/14/2015 9:44:25 AM

are we 100% sure that State will make the Tourney?

not many teams get at-large bids at 7 games over .500 and 7th place in their conference

3/14/2015 9:55:32 AM

^yes we're in. who on the bubble deserves it over us?

Nah they won't get an at large

nobody

but....

if Steve Austin loses their conference final, they should get an at-large
if Wyoming wins the Mountain West
if UConn wins the AAC
Cincy
BYU
St John's
Georgia
Temple
Buffalo
Indiana

We're not even "on the bubble" so several teams would have to get bumped before we fell out. We're in.

3/14/2015 10:54:18 AM

we aren't anywhere near the bubble, so even if the impossible happens (LO FUCKING L to Stephen F Austin getting an at-large with a SOS in the 200s), teams like Texas, OK State, Temple, LSU, Ole Miss, etc would be out before us. we are a 100% lock with our SOS, BPI, resume, and tourney history.

3/14/2015 10:58:00 AM

look, I think we're in, too

but it's very rare for a 13 loss team to get in at-large. it's only happened 11 times. once was us, but we had Lee Fowler on the selection committee


^ I was just listing a few teams with a better RPI than us. SFA being one of them

Maybe Gott just fakes the surprise and celebration so that he can be all "GOTT YA FOOLS!!1! I knew all along bitches cuz I the motha fuckin Cat WHISPERER!"

We might be in some danger if we had lost to Pitt. As is, forget about it.

3/14/2015 11:42:42 AM

We've been treated more generously than expected by the committee each of the past 3 years, so I'd expect that to continue. I think the dominant win over Pitt will help us more than the loss to Duke hurts us, and they'll give us a 7.

Not hard to do since Arizona St is barely top 100 in RPI

3/14/2015 12:19:34 PM

some of you are buggin out. state is in no question

3/14/2015 12:46:54 PM

looks like the A-10 might get 4 teams in

3/14/2015 2:51:55 PM

I wouldn't mind this

http://q.usatoday.com/2015/03/13/ncaa-tournament-bracketology-march-madness-selection-sunday/

Bracket full of opponents we've played in the last dozen years or so either regular season or tourney

3/14/2015 2:58:45 PM

Of all the projected 1/2 seeds, I'd most like to see Villanova as our 2nd round opponent

3/14/2015 3:48:02 PM

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology

Lunardi moved us up to an 8 in Wisconsin's region

3/14/2015 3:49:52 PM

moving us up makes perfect sense

3/14/2015 4:38:32 PM

^^playing against Archie

with revenge chances against Wofford and Notre Dame

3/14/2015 4:53:21 PM

Oh man if we played Dayton the NC State message boards would explode.

3/14/2015 4:54:22 PM

Unless Wisconsin wins their tournament, I don't think they should bump UVA off the 1 line

3/14/2015 5:24:00 PM

if Dayton loses today, are they back on the bubble?

their SOS is laughable and they haven't beaten ANYBODY

3/14/2015 5:52:41 PM

Dayton is ranked right behind us on pomeroy

3/14/2015 9:23:09 PM

glad we don't have to sweat the bubble with Wyoming stealing a bid. should bump Indiana or Texas

3/14/2015 10:40:50 PM

so does ND jump kansas on the 2 line? i think they do over ISU.

[Edited on March 14, 2015 at 10:48 PM. Reason : j]

3/14/2015 10:48:34 PM

lol, we're gonna lose in the first round. 5 laftabux

3/14/2015 11:33:41 PM

^I think you mean the "2nd" round

3/14/2015 11:43:43 PM

yep, first round bye this year guys

3/14/2015 11:51:23 PM

My money is on a us being a 7 seed in the West or Midwest with BYU at the 10 seed - facing a matchup with the Zags or Zona in the *3rd* round.

3/15/2015 1:17:41 AM

I really hope we somehow get to play UConn or Butler

3/15/2015 1:39:12 AM

Joey Brackets has us going up against Dayton in the "2nd" Round. LET THE SHIT STORM START.

[Edited on March 15, 2015 at 9:13 AM. Reason : v]

3/15/2015 9:12:40 AM

I hope we're the higher seed in whatever game we play so we can wear those grey "home" jerseys. The red ones were kinda ugly imo

3/15/2015 9:29:41 AM

We're the Red and Grey from State and we know we are the best
It looks like we laundered all of our White jerseys in the hot cycle with a never-before-washed black vest

3/15/2015 10:52:40 AM

I'd love the chance to knock Maryland out

3/15/2015 10:54:19 AM

^^ how long did it take you to come up with that gem

3/15/2015 11:02:29 AM

3 seconds

3/15/2015 11:03:46 AM

Would much rather have a 10 or 11 seed. Won't be that much difference in who you are playing in the first round and get a much better shot if in the second round if you can make it

3/15/2015 12:08:29 PM

What are most experts saying? Villanova's bracket?

3/15/2015 12:53:44 PM

I've seen us all over the place. 8/9/10 seed in pretty much any bracket. Not sure how much the experts really know when it comes to matchups though. Isn't that mostly pure conjecture?

3/15/2015 12:57:55 PM

Harrow nowhere to be found in a game his teams needs. SHOCKER

3/15/2015 1:09:17 PM

umm...I'm pretty sure he's hurt
