Im sorry ive just gotta rant this entire thread. This is insane.
They give Cuse and Louisville a 4 but the conference champ from the worst major conference a #1. Just LOL.
I cant believe anyone could be stupid enough to give washington a #1 over any of the following teams: Uconn, Cuse, BC, Kentucky, Louisville, Oklahoma, Oklahoma state, Kansas, Wake, Ga Tech etc.
Im gonna laugh my balls off when Pitt smokes them in rd 2 like 70-50. Its gonna be great. I seriously may throw a grand @<hidden> that game in real life.

Not to say that I don't agree with you but the PAC 10 is rated the 2nd best conference by RPI. Not exactly the worst if you ask me.

Arizona = down year
Stanford = down year
UCLA = down year
Every other team in Pac 10 = worthless in college basketball.

Dukes susposed to be having a down year, look where that got them. Hasn't UCLA been in a 'down year' for about 20 years?

Seriously im happy i made this thread even if no one else posts in it. I just need to blow off some steam. Its unbelieveable how fuckin blind the selection committee was on that pick.
You can bitch all you want about East Coast bias and blah blah blah but the fact is I like Gonzaga because theyre a deserving team, i normally like Zona cause they normally have a better team. Washington is the worst 1 seed in the history of the tourney. Just my opinion. Dont care who agree and who doesnt. Its laughable.:mad:

Washington hasnt established themselves that way and they play in a conference significantly worse.

You can bitch all you want, that's what makes this country great. But, I would argue that with some people.
This selection has nothing to do with basketball as it does with making people happy. If it wasn't washington it was probably going to be wake. Maybe even Kentucky, and then all we would hear is about how their is a bias against the west coast.
Lucky for all of us, none of it matters since they play the games on the court to decide the winner, cough...college football sucks ass...cough.

And ya, youre right its about making people happy but that doesnt mean im going to agree

washington beat oklahoma, utah, alabama, ncstate, stanford, and arizona twice, thats tough to do, so you can make a case for them, and no way would they put three acc teams as #1, no team really deserved that fourth #1 seed over another

Wake was the #5 team and would have had the #1 seed without Washington.What about 4th seeded and 4th ranked Louisville?
The same Louisville that won their conference tournament.

All in all it is a travesty. There were at least 10-12 teams that were better off getting a 1 seed than the team that was ranked #14 in the last poll. It's going to be great when Pitt embarasses them.
And make no mistake, Pitt will embarass them. Pitt is the absolute WORST matchup they can have in round 2. Washington has exactly 1 guy over 6'7 starting and their leading rebounder averages 7.6. Pitt's PG, Carl Krauser averages 4.9 for goodness sakes. Taft, McCarroll, Troutman and Gray are just wayyy too much for them inside. As long as pitt get good guard play; and theres no reason they wont when Krauser and Ramon have done well since the embarassing Bucknell loss, Pitt will embarass both washington and the selection committee.
I feel like the pick was made simply to please people on the West Coast so they don't start whining "OMG East Coast Bias!":eek:

They could have killed Montana when they were up 16-2 but let them back in it. Such was the story throughout the game. They could have slaughtered them and ran up the score, but didnt. Oh well, they still won. And I have a feeling that even if they did slaughter Montana, the same ol thing would have been said, a "#1" beating a #16, wooptie doo.
No big deal to me either way, I just want to see them go far, real far, and will be having fun watching them. All the people whining about them being seeded #1 can keep on whining. I hope it makes them feel better.

I could care less about the seedings. None of the teams are head and shoulders above the rest to make a definitive case that one team should have been a certain seed. I have Louisville taken out Washington in the S16.
I love the Tourney. Everyone thinks they are an expert because they watched Sportscenter everyday. Nobody has a clue what they are picking in their brackets.

Nobody has a clue what they are picking in their brackets.Those of us who actually bet the games in real life do know they're talking about. Unfortunately you cant account for a team that shoots 80% from 3 in the 1st half.
I Roll Hard
03-18-2005, 01:27 AM
I'm in a little late on this argument, but oh well. In my opinion there were 2 other teams that could have gotten the last 1 seed, Louisville and Wake.
As the overall seedings went Washington was 4 and Wake was 5. That means that Wake has a slightly, very slightly, more difficult road to get to the Elite 8 to play Washington if the bracket holds. Switching Wake and Washington would not have done much, but since Wake lost in the 1st round of their tournament, and Washington won there's, I have no problem with Washington being seeded higher than Wake.
Louisville on the other hand got kind of screwed. I could have seen them taking that 1 seed, and they got a 4 seed. But they did lose to Iowa, who absolutly sucks, so I guess they shouldn't complain too much.

Oh okay cool, I was just curious. You bring up a good point. All the people complaining about UW's seeding, how many of you have watched them play this year? And have some knowledge of the team?
