They are higher than a 10, like I said. I suppose in previous years the at-large bids were 11 and higher, so that line varies year to year.

Oh he married a KjSU alum?
Hell of a lot better than being friends with Baylor fans.

CBS/Turner should use CBSSN as like an NFL redzone type channel for the first weekend.

They're all mad at me. I picked New Mexico to the sweet 16.

Cal and Stanford fans struggle to show up to games, much less talk ****. LA sports fans only care about the Lakers. ASU fans are too busy giving each other STDs. OSU/WSU are basically MWC teams (despite the fact that Beaver fans think they're in a power conference protected by law), so **** them.
That's 7.
And all of these are better than dipshits yelling “EMAW”

You can't **** talk opposing fans who don't show up.
We'll probably prefer that to dealing with the baptists and mormons.
Nah, they’re fun to make uncomfortable.
More like 20 spots higher. I'm not sure how their NET got so bad with all their good wins (WSU). They had some bad losses the past few weeks and seem to be on a bad trajectory. I'm guessing they get bumped by Drake. I don't expect UA to get too far either.
When you go 2-6 in the last 4 weeks of the season and lose your final home game the way they did, this is what happens.
If they don't guard the 3, they will not beat Drake if Berg gets hot. Drake beat Iowa State and lost to Iowa.

NET = Never Ever True
17 teams with worse NET rankings got higher seeds. This is a complete joke. Embarrassing really. Why even have the metric if it has zero bearing on seeding? South Carolina with a 6? WTAF?

Making a mormon uncomfortable isn't hard. Just ask them for directions to the nearest liquor store.
My Apple TV has been giving me close game alerts for years.
What, exactly, do they have to talk **** about?
They’ve never won a championship in an NCAA sanctioned event, they have never won a conference tournament in the Big12, Manhattan is a nowhere town in a nothing state, they rank outside the top 150 schools according to USNWR and outside the top 500 according to ARWU, the so called ‘power towel’sucks, and they can’t even afford an entire mascot costume; just the head.
KSU should feel lucky to be associated at all with CU. I feel no need to have a “rivalry” with them in the same way the Nuggets don’t feel a need to have a rivalry with Manhattan (KS) High School basketball. Congrats to them (I guess) on winning a football conference championship on the back of Darren Sproles and a gimmick offense.

K-State fans like hearing the bolded as much as Nebraska fans like being reminded they have the longest bowl drought in the power conferences right now. They'll change the subject on you so fast it isn't even funny.
If K-State fans are truly talking **** by saying you don't know how to farm, be sure to tell them that we learned a lot about farming from our time in the PAC-12, as California is the #1 state in the country for agricultural production. I'm sure they'll appreciate that lol.
I agree with you but shouldn’t they have done better than 2-6 if they wanted a 4 seed or higher. The men’s team lose the pac 12 title game but they improved as the season went on. Not surprised the selection committee put us as a 5.
Wtf are you trying to say?
He’s talking about the men, who were inarguably underseeded.
Although fwiw, Virginia Tech and Oregon State both received higher seeds and will be hosting on the women’s side; both had lower NET rankings than CU women. Oregon state, I understand, given the head to head results. Virginia Tech produced a better record but against a weaker schedule and in a weaker conference. For anyone saying VT finished better, they lost two of three to end the season and their final game involved them getting throttled by Notre Dame.

An at large is technically any team who doesn't win it's conference tournament.
WTF! I know what an at-large bid is. Are you having reading comprehension troubles. There was a question that was asked about how you can be the "last 4 in" and still be a 10 seed. I answered that at-large bids were 10's and higher, with 11's and lower going to AQ's. Previous years the At-large bids were 11 and higher, with AQ's being 12 and lower. Maybe I should clarify that the highest seed is a 1, the lowest seed is a 16. The NCAA has a policy that AQ's will not play in the "First Four" with the exception of the 4 lowest seeded 16 seeds. Every other AQ is exempt from the "First Four" games. Which is why you can be an AQ and be a 12 seed but a 10 seed was part of the "last four in" and thus has to play in the "First Four" game.
Can you be an AQ and be a seed higher than 10? YES.
Can you be an at-large and be a seed lower than 10? NO. At least not this year.
Plus we were the first state to legalize pot! Lots of indoor farming.
This is a great example of just because you do something a lot it doesn't mean that you are good at it or know anything about it

I can understand the difficulty of schedule matters, but so does wins over selected teams. CU beat WSU 2 of 3 times, including tournament. And they get a #7 seed? Remember when CU was skipped over after beating KSU 3 times in a row and KSU was a #5 seed at large? Let's be honest. this is not a mathematical decision, and maybe should be. 36 at-large bids are not the problem the problem is the automatic bigs. . some one gets hot in a tournament and goes to the big dance with a losing record?? That's one spot an at-large team should have. Every NCAA tourney has a huge rack of sports articles about who "should" of been picked and who shouldn't. Get a clue NCAA. No more automatic bids.
