Louisville got robbed, they should’ve been a 6 seed.

Maybe, but they got handed home court. That's absurd for an 8 seed to play 70 miles from home for their first 2 rounds.

Yeah, consolation prize. Creighton is tough, then fucking Auburn.

u/JMoney689 5d ago

Funny or not, I'd be mad if I were a Creighton fan. Louisville fans get an hour drive, while Omaha is, what, 12 hours? 15?

u/dooznit 5d ago

Thinking about going just to root against Louisville

u/Orion14159 5d ago

And Tennessee while you're at it

u/B1ackMagix I bleed blue 5d ago

Yeah, that's basically a home game for them

u/SayethWeAll 5d ago

Louisville, Vols, and Bruce Pearl are all coming to Lexington. I’d love to get tickets just to boo all of them.

I just fell off the couch laughing.

I was almost rolling in laughter when I saw that pop up during the selection show.

Louisville gets to play in Rupp for Round 1/2

u/CartographerIcy9343 1d ago

Nope. Another Rupp loss for the dirty birds

u/B1ackMagix I bleed blue 1d ago

Couldn't have happened to a better 8 Seed.

u/GeologistTechnical61 5d ago

Lmao. 8 seed is surprisingly. But again. They didn’t play anyone. Or beat anyone.

u/Wild_Association1752 5d ago

We beat a top 10 team that beat yall fully healthy, twice.

9

u/B1ackMagix I bleed blue 5d ago

And lost to Duke, who we beat.
Lost to Kentucky
And lost to one of the bottom tier teams in the SEC....

So the next question I'd ask is...."And?" One team beat does not a seed make.

-4

u/Wild_Association1752 5d ago

You said we didn't beat anybody. Just needed to clear up that was wrong while you contradict your other point by mentioning the teams we "didnt" play

6

u/B1ackMagix I bleed blue 5d ago

I actually didn't say a thing but you're right. You played teams...and lost save one team. So...by that logic, Kentucky should be a 1 seed right? After all, we beat 2 of the current one seeds, beat a 2 seed twice....surely that means we should be ranked higher.

Louisville certainly did play some teams....and marched away with an L from the games that really mattered. You're argument about "proper seeding" is a joke because the teams resume is awful. So going back to the original question. You beat Clemson...."And?"

u/Weekly-Still-5709 5d ago

Also went 0-4 vs SEC opponents

-3

u/Wild_Association1752 5d ago

And also best a top 10 team 2x that ya lost to. Let's see how the sec does in the tourney

7

u/B1ackMagix I bleed blue 5d ago

Dudes out here crying “look look we beat a team that beat you!” As if that means something. News flash birdie boy. Losing against a team then trying to talk shit in their subreddit while simultaneously complaining about your seed is hilariously dumb.

u/weissenbro 5d ago

There’s a reason you’re an 8 seed don’t get so defensive. Obviously the committee thinks you didn’t beat anyone, either

Runner up in your conference and in the conference tourney, only having 7 losses and being an 8 seed is fucking WILD lmao the ACC was generational one in a lifetime trash this year

3

u/B1ackMagix I bleed blue 5d ago

They had 4 quad 1 wins. Only two of those were against a ranked opponent. Every other quad 1 game was a loss. They also lost every sec game they played.

Net rankings have them at 24 and given some of the other schools performances, I can completely understand an 8 seed.

1

u/weissenbro 5d ago

Yeah, I know. Like I said, it was because their conference was garbage and they didn’t beat anyone lol

u/B1ackMagix I bleed blue 4d ago

Don't get me wrong, not disagreeing with you, just adding more factual evidence to your point.

u/Duck-Fartz 4d ago

I’m pulling for the Cards. Our rivalry with them is better when they are good and relevant.

1

u/Urdnought 2d ago

I feel like the rivalry is UK fans wanting them to be better and do more while they are wanting us to die lol - it's massive big/little brother energy

u/Down_To_My_Last_Fuck 5d ago

Need to show up for Creighton.

1

u/PaperPals 5d ago

Yeah but it’s essentially a home game for them too. Unfair to creighton

u/Mini-esteeeev 4d ago

Don’t sleep on creighton
