Texas A&M got screwed!

[tlongII]

They most likely will play Louisville at Lexington in the 2nd round. Not very fair if you ask me. It will be tough for the Aggies to make the Sweet 16 with that game.

[Pugglekicker_21]

Sucks for them, but I still got them goin to the regional finals against UNC

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yeah, I'm not happy about the second round game at all, but at the same time if we get through that game we'll be in SA for the regionals.

Still, I thought the top 4 seeds were supposed to be taken care of on the first weekend, and yet they send Memphis to New Orleans and us to Lexington. WTF?

[Pugglekicker_21]

Really? Thats nuts.

[midgetonadonkey]

Louisville might not get past Stanford.

[johngateswhiteley]

i don't have a problem with where A&M is in the bracket. in fact, things i like:

1. in San Antonio (even though we start in Ky)
2. Memphis is a weak 2, imo
3. nice route to the elite 8
4. ohio state isn't that good, imo...so final four is very possible

...i don't have a problem with it, in fact the second round game scares me most of any.

[midgetonadonkey]

Kansas won't get past UCLA in the Elite 8.

JGW, I know you don't know much about hoops, and that's alright...

Memphis may be a weak 2, but their strength on offense is playing with 4 guards and attacking off the dribble, which is basically A&M's biggest weakness. If that game doesn't scare you, I really don't know what else to say.

And that's after we get by Louisville in Lexington.

1. i am not impressed with Memphis's wins and schedule
2. we will out rebound them
3. they haven't seen a defense like ours
4. why would memphis scare me, they are a 2 seed?

[beachbarbie948]

unc, fla, kansas, and a&m in the final four.

those are my picks too

[exstatic]

Playing Louisville in Lexington would be like getting A&M in a draw...in Austin. They are rival schools and there will be a hostility element for Louisville.

[johngateswhiteley]

wow, every ESPN guy on gamenight has A&M in the elite 8, and 1 or 2 had them in the final 4. we shall see...

[Mr. Body]

They'd get Final 8 in San Antonio, right?

[beachbarbie948]

They'd get Final 8 in San Antonio, right?

i do believe so

[Mr. Body]

Louisville in Lexington sucks, but if they get past they could get Ohio State in San Antonio. I'm sure the Buckeyes wouldn't be pleased with that.

[Dre_7]

Call me crazy, but my bracket actually has A&M winnin the whole thing.

[johngateswhiteley]

...damn, i hope you're right. :toast

[degenerate_gambler]

i dont know why some of you aggroids so concerned about louisville.

the trees are gonna take care of their ass for you.

If Memphis doesn't scare you, you're a dumbass.

[Mr. Body]

Memphis was a #1 seed flameout last year and are probably ranked too high again this year.

[SrA Husker]

For you that have KU/UNC/FL/A&M in your final four, you're idiots.

I don't recall the last time 3 #1's made it to the Final 4.

Champion in CAPS

[beachbarbie948]

okay then 1999

[degenerate_gambler]

okay then 1999


you were damn close.

just looking at the numbers, can't argue too much with the committee and it's seeding.

[RonMexico]

What's even cooler is that 1980 and 2006 were the only years in which a #1 didn't make it.
