NCAA Tournament Selection Show (March 12th 6pm CBS)

[FU Hoopla]

Let’s all hope and pray that FU plays in Greensboro or Birmingham on a Saturday or Friday

Birmingham seems unlikely, is it already set as to what seeds play at these sites?

If so Lunardi has seeds 1, 8, 9, 16 playing in Birmingham

Lunardi is not good at picking seeds and worse at picking locations.

So are the seeds for each location not already determined?

Yes they are, they have to be because of matchups. 1/16 winner would play an 8/9 winner. Last year in Greenville we had 2 2/15 and 2 7/10’s.

I am talking about for each location?

For example if those are the seeds for Birmingham we won't be going there.................

I just watched the Tennessee vs. Missouri game. The Volunteers are an undisciplined mess of a team. They are beatable. That said, they might fall to a 5 seed.

When we land on a 13 or 14 seed Sunday I like our chances with just about anybody in that 3 or 4 seed range

That I don’t know. I guess we will know Sunday.

The seeds are not predetermined for each location. However, you can guarantee that 1/16 and 8/9 will be half of the teams in Birmingham because Alabama will be a #1 seed. In other years, it would've be likely for Duke or UNC to be in Greensboro, but with UNC likely out and Duke probably a 5 seed, I doubt the get rewarded with a 'home' game.

Makes sense

That was awesome! Thanks, Fox Carolina!

Just read that one of the selection gurus has FU playing Xavier in Greensboro. For what it's worth.

DINS!

Xavier would not be a good matchup for FU. All we know for sure is that we will play someone, somewhere. Captain obvious.

For those who can't make it to Timmons tomorrow, I noted this in today's eMail from the Furman Athletics Fund:

"Sunday's party will also be streamed on Furman Paladins' YouTube channel and Facebook page. The NCAA Men's Basketball Selection Show is set to air on CBS at 6 p.m."

Great idea, so many fans living out of state, gotta get everyone involved!
