General Selection Sunday/Tournament Discussion

[MNAFETSC]

Pg Jeff Hathaway was quoted saying that they had already selected the 37 at large teams. What was quoted by the media was he then said several of those teams could change by Sunday

Man, I may have to rethink UK going all the way. This is gonna be tricky this year. Each top team has a flaw; for UK, it's inexperience.

Today is rather meaningless to me.

Pitino lost s SEC championship game on purpose and then went on the win the National Championship.

Kentucky should be the heavy favorite. They have transcendant offensive players, they play awesome defense and have a coach that knows how to get to the final four.

Wow, I think Drexel is out now. The A-10 stole one.

Man, St. Bonaventure...who wouldve thought? Might have just stolen Drexel's bid. Drexel fans, I'm REALLY pulling for yall today. I wish you the best.

On a team that went on to feature 9 NBA players, Pitino benched Antoine Walker for the SEC title game. Walker was SEC tournament MVP as a freshmen the year before. Pitino was both sending a message to Walker and to his own team.

They lost Miss State, who also went to the final four. Kentucky went on to smash their way towards a national championship. One of the most dominant teams in college basketball history.

The kicker is that they beat John Calipari's UMASS team in the national semifinal, avenging their only real loss of the season.

Then Pitino beat his mentor Boeheim in the title game.

You may here Jim Nance referencing some of this during this year's final four.

What was that message?
