Selection Sunday Racket

Chad, David and John look at the NCAA Tournament Bracket and critique the selection committee, particularly the controversial selection (and that’s putting it nicely) of UCLA, and how poorly seeded Dayton was despite the fact that they appeared to be much better.

The Hoops HD Mock Selection Committee wasn’t trying to guess what the real committee was doing, but rather act as if they were the real committee.   We did not have Wisconsin as a #1 seed and we did not have Georgia in the field, but we did believe the real committee would do both of those things.  With that said, we still ended up being very close to what the real committee did.  The one thing I cannot understand is the inclusion of UCLA.  They didn’t pass any real metric because their profile was weak, but they also didn’t pass the eye test.  It’s one of the craziest selections I can remember in quite some time.  Dayton also had a really good year, and it’s hard to believe that they were the last at-large team on the seed list, and had UConn beaten SMU, they would have likely missed the field.
