We got screwed. No way around it.

[Randohoggie]

No way are we a 7.  No way Florida is a 6 above us.  Hell, even Seth Davis said Florida is losing regardless of who they play and we are likely to challenge Purdue.

Further proof that the SEC Tournament is a complete waste of time.

[Dr. Starcs]

Agree completely

[RazorSax]

They had more Q1 wins. Big factor this year.

[rhames]

Except we didn't.

[BannerMountainMan]

It would suck playing Texas Tech in Dallas though 2nd round

[mj4president]

It would suck playing Texas Tech in Dallas though 2nd round

There would be more Hog fans in Dallas than TT.

[Gonzo]

It would suck playing Texas Tech in Dallas though 2nd round

They would be a tough draw of course, but I don't think being in Dallas would be much of a factor, Hog fans would show out here just as well as Red Raiders I think. Much better than the crowd they'll have in Detroit, dangit, hah


Go Hogs!

[Hog_Fink]

Purdue is a great match up
little rock almost beat them last year?

[Dr. Starcs]

Tcu getting a 6 is an absolute joke.

But they'll have fun with Michigan St in Detroit

[Randohoggie]

They had more Q1 wins. Big factor this year.

Apparently the only factor ... doesn't explain how TCU got a 6 over us at 7 when they had hardly any.

[TNhawgfan]

A few weeks ago, we were projected a 9 or 10. Draw isn't that bad

[alohawg]

They do whatever the heck they want, apparently.

[Supermark101]

You were warned to expect this in the bracketogy thread. I thought we'd be a 6, but a 7 isnt a screw job. Beat LSU twice and we are probably a 5 seed.

[TushCrush]

I don't care who we play. Line those mf's up and lets go.

[Randohoggie]

You were warned to expect this in the bracketogy thread. I thought we'd be a 6, but a 7 isnt a screw job. Beat LSU twice and we are probably a 5 seed.

I still think it is wrong.  Explain TCU over us and how it reconciles with Florida.

[HamHands]

Shut up and just win. It is the NCAAT. No cry babies. Just win.

[RazorSax]

TCU has the number 10 SOS and 40 OOC SOS. They have 4 Q1 wins and no Q3+ losses.

We are 30 SOS, 94 OOC SOS, have 6 Q1 wins, and a Q3 loss.

We probably aren't far apart, but I could see why they are ahead of us.

Some of you could do a tad bit of research before complaining.

They were probably the last 6 seed and we were the first or second 7 seed.

[rhames]

They do whatever the heck they want, apparently.

Well outside of the top 16 teams seeded, yeah basically.

[hogsanity]

You were warned to expect this in the bracketogy thread. I thought we'd be a 6, but a 7 isnt a screw job. Beat LSU twice and we are probably a 5 seed.

NCATT committee considers Hogs one of the top 28 teams in the tourney, how is that a screw job?

[HognotinMemphis]

There would be more Hog fans in Dallas than TT.

So what? Hog fans at BWA did not help vs KY and LSU.

[Randohoggie]

TCU has the number 10 SOS and 40 OOC SOS. They have 4 Q1 wins and no Q3+ losses.

We are 30 SOS, 94 OOC SOS,  6 Q1 wins, and a Q3 loss.

We probably aren't far apart, but I could see why they are ahead of us.

Some of you could do a tad bit of research before complaining.

They were probably the last 6 seed and we were the first or second 7 seed.

I have read it.  Florida's only claim over us is Q1 wins ... so how is TCU over us when we have more when everything else is close?

[hogsanity]

No way are we a 7.  No way Florida is a 6 above us.  Hell, even Seth Davis said Florida is losing regardless of who they play and we are likely to challenge Purdue.

Further proof that the SEC Tournament is a complete waste of time.

Seth also said the Hogs would be in the sweet 16 so whats is your beef?

[Randohoggie]

NCATT committee considers Hogs one of the top 28 teams in the tourney, how is that a screw job?

Because there is no reason for Florida to have that 6 instead of us.

[Randohoggie]

Seth also said the Hogs would be in the sweet 16 so whats is your beef?

I don't have a beef with the draw, but by all rights, that 6 in Dallas should have been Arkansas and not Florida.

[BayofPigs]

I'm loving the matchups tbh, who cares about location if you'd lose your 1st game

[Dr. Starcs]

TCU has the number 10 SOS and 40 OOC SOS. They have 4 Q1 wins and no Q3+ losses.

We are 30 SOS, 94 OOC SOS, have 6 Q1 wins, and a Q3 loss.

Sorry. Got my teams confused. 

[Hog Pharm]

I have read it.  Florida's only claim over us is Q1 wins ... so how is TCU over us when we have more when everything else is close?

Might be bracket rules to separate conference teams and rematches.

[SPAL]

Love the draw. Love it. Committee did a great job..

[Randohoggie]

That's possible.

[bphi11ips]

Good draw for Hogs.

[rhames]

Love the draw. Love it. Committee did a great job..

People are getting too wrapped up in 6's and 7's

[my3boneheads]

Someone explain the seeding of Oklahoma, A&M, and Alabama.

[RazorSax]

Our draw is great. I have no issues as a 7 behind TCU and Florida.

Want to talk screw jobs?

That would be having Syracuse, Arizona State, and OU in over USC, St Mary's, and Middle Tennessee.

[BenDial]

Florida getting a seed ahead of us and playing in Dallas while we go to Detroit is the biggest hose job Arkansas basketball has suffered since the Mississippi State game.

Utterly ridiculous.

[BDSCT51]

I thought this was a great bracket for us. Don't like that we couldn't get to Dallas/Nashville/Wichita though. We are in! Now let's go kick some Yankee tail in Detroit!

[secthundahog]

SPRING BREAK DETROIT 2018 BABY!!!!!! FML...... I CAN GET THE TIX IF U GOT THE RIDE. SHTTTT I'LL EVEN BUY YER 2018 SB DETROIT HAWZ TAT

[hogsanity]

Because there is no reason for Florida to have that 6 instead of us.

Based on what? Fla had more q1 wins and were comparable everywhere else in the stats the NCAAt commttee said they were going to use.

[rljjr]

Charles Barkley is giving Rasmussen a ration of crap about OU. I'm loving it.

[rhames]

Florida getting a seed ahead of us and playing in Dallas while we go to Detroit is the biggest hose job Arkansas basketball has suffered since the Mississippi State game.

Utterly ridiculous.

Flordia has been so far ahead of us in seeding the last month why did any one think we would jump them? The committee doesn't care about conference tournaments. Sad but true.

[Randohoggie]

Based on what? Fla had more q1 wins and were comparable everywhere else in the stats the NCAAt commttee said they were going to use.

So why is TCU ahead of us?

[LRHawg]

I mean, at least we're not in UNC's bracket.

[Randohoggie]

Another huge inconsistency ... Oklahoma gets enough cred from being awesome early that they get a 10 despite being terrible for months.  We, however, get no credit for being the only team to beat them while they were awesome.

[rhames]

Someone explain the seeding of Oklahoma, A&M, and Alabama.

They were just talking about Oklahoma.

[Dr. Starcs]

Great point. Lol

[WorfHog]

We can beat Bulter and we can beat Purdue. After that it's gravy

[oldman1015]

NCATT committee considers Hogs one of the top 28 teams in the tourney, how is that a screw job?

And the refs will cheat us when we get there. Our fans learn from FCJ. ESPN hates us and now the Tornament people hate us. Haters everywhere. We would be great if we didn't get cheated all the time. Mike is the greatest but we just get cheated by these haters.

[RazorSax]

We can beat Texas Tech too.

[GoHogs1091]

No way are we a 7.  No way Florida is a 6 above us.  Hell, even Seth Davis said Florida is losing regardless of who they play and we are likely to challenge Purdue.

Further proof that the SEC Tournament is a complete waste of time.

Yep, we are more likely an 8 seed.

3 of our losses were to probable NIT teams (Mississippi State and LSU).

Our best non-conference win was against a team that limped into the NCAAT with a 2-8 tally down the stretch (Oklahoma).

[Randohoggie]

More:  we got dinged down to an 9 seed last year because the SEC supposedly sucked.  This year, we have a comparable record and the SEC puts 9 teams in ... yet we are no better than a 7?  It's a crock.

[revolution]

We will be fine!
