Maybe there’s miscommunication on what “over” (“o-vahhhh”) means. |

So let me get this gay straight: If Purdue survives Fairfield, they have to face Marquette. Again. Then, if they survive that, they gotta face Pukis?! THE FREAKING HANNAH PUKIS?!  On the bright side, UCLA doesn’t have to face Marquette or Pukis. THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT |

this is a waste of time. "teams taking care of business" is her favorite line. And parody. She must have said parody 10 times. Parity, my good fellow  |

Can someone explain how Skylar Fields is playing the Automatic Qualifier out of the America East (UMBC) and the University of Texas-Austin is playing an SEC at-large team (Texas A&M) ??? ??? ??? The SFA selection was bad. This might be worse. |

Michella asked good questions and Holly ignored them all. The problem is the lack of follow up questions. When pressed about the primary criteria, Holly said Florida held their own in RPI, KPI and SOS. So I would then look at those metrics and ask a follow up question - Florida has an RPI of 25 and KPI of 21, what about those lower ranks where good enough in the committees eyes for top 16? Also, if SOS is so important, why is Tennessee seeded #10 with a SOS of 46. Well, tbf Florida's RPI was 19, not 25. |

Although, we've seen committees in the past fail to minimize flights for the sake of bracket integrity. Maybe it's just that this committee didn't do that. Was there a way to do this better without adding flights? |

Yall enraged about TAMU as last four in. What about Minnesota? Should they have been in the last four? Shouldn’t be in at all. |

Just watched the interview w Michella Chester and the way Holly answered the questions really aggravated me. Michella didn’t really ask anything overly direct but Holly basically danced around every question.

Our 3 seed does not feel like a reward. It feels more like a “Let’s see if you’ve really earned this.” On the bright side I feel like Purdue is much better than the beginning season, and it should be a treat for all of us to see a Colyer v. Hudson match up. A real banger to solidify that coveted sophomore of the year award. |

Maybe it's just that this committee didn't do that. Was there a way to do this better without adding flights? I'll have to look - this is such a drastic change (I had Texas A&M as an 8-seed) How the hell did they drop A&M to a last 4 in status with UCSB? And they considered others like Minnesota, Texas State, etc. as safe? That's pretty shocking. The last 4 in/first 4 out has been suspicious three years straight. I still think this has to do something with pre-planning the bracket and making manual adjustments, but, that may result in complete overreaction. |

Wenaas vs Cos-Okpalla is gonna cause me to have a stroke |
