Posted February 26, 200619 yr The Bearcats will get in with a 9th seed OSU will get a 2 seed if they win the Big 10 (But no worse than a 4th seed if they don't win another game) LSU will most likely be a 3 seed (I'll be surprised if they get a 2 seed if they win both the Regular season and post-season SEC titles). But could drop back to a 6th seed if they fall apart here at the end. Duke and the Winner of the Big East (UConn/Villanova) are locks as 1 seeds. Here's hoping Memphis and Gonzaga join them (but not at the expense of Villanova!) And the magic is gone @ Xavier. For the first time since the early 80s, they won't make the big dance in consecutive years. Better see if Pete Gillian wants come back home.
March 1, 200619 yr http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology UC (And Seton Hall) currently shown as 12 seeds (but not one of the last 4 in). Beat WVU!
March 12, 200619 yr I guess we scratch the Bearcats off the list and put Xavier in their place (though, I'd be surprised if X is given a single digit seeding this year)
March 13, 200619 yr Bullshit. The Bearcats don't get in and some shit team like Air Force or George Mason does? Did anyone happen to see them interview the chairman of the committee after all of the brackets were announced. He was unable to give a real answer to any of the questions. Just the same old bullshit over and over. Xavier will not go very far. They've shown a lot of heart and they've shown that anything's possible, but they're without their starting point guard (dismissed) and their best player (broken ankle). Magic only lasts for so long.
March 13, 200619 yr Cincinnati: beat LSU, Marquette, Lousiville, West Virginia, and Syracuse Air Force: beat Geogria Tech and Miami, FL. The committee picked Air Force to go to the tournament and not UC. Why, I don't know.
March 13, 200619 yr ^grasscat, yea I saw the interview with the chariman and loved how they cut him off at the end to bitch about how piss poor they did this year. classic.
March 13, 200619 yr Yeah, I didn't care for Nantz & Packer's antics in that interview either. I'm not sure what Packer is trying to push with his "previous tourney results forcast future seeding predictions" rant he was pushing during the OSU-Iowa game and the selection show. Sounded to much like a punish the mid-majors/little players mantra. Not cool. :whip:
March 13, 200619 yr Cincinnati: beat LSU, Marquette, Lousiville, West Virginia, and Syracuse Air Force: beat Geogria Tech and Miami, FL. The committee picked Air Force to go to the tournament and not UC. Why, I don't know. You think that's sad, check out George Mason's schedule.
March 13, 200619 yr UC had the #4 strength of schedule, beat the teams already listed, went 8-8 in the toughest conference in basketball, but they lost to syracuse (who is beating everyone) by 1 at the buzzer and all of a sudden they are out of the tourny. Seton Hall gets in with a worse record, worse SOS, and a 50+ point loss to Duke, double digit losses to Rutgers, Depaul, and Notre Dame. Air Force didnt even make it to the semi-finals in the Mountain West Conference tourney...need I say more Norhtern Iowa had 7 conference losses in the missouri valley! And some how the WAC gets two teams with Utah State...who the shit is this??!?!?! NIT here we come....NCAA screws UC every year anyways!
March 13, 200619 yr If they put it all to just the last 16 games of the season. They shouldn't even conside what their rpi SOS is or what their non-conference schedule is.
March 13, 200619 yr A strong RPI and strength of schedule (SOS) didn't help UC get in: RPI School W-L SOS 1-50 51-100 Result 40 Cincinnati 19-12 5 4-8 7-3 did not get in 41 Kentucky 21-12 15 3-8 6-4 8 seed 44 Texas A&M 21-8 67 1-5 6-2 12 seed 45 Arkansas 22-9 68 4-6 3-1 8 seed 46 Utah State 22-8 102 1-2 6-3 12 seed 50 Air Force 22-6 158 0-1 5-2 13 seed 51 NC State 22-6 64 3-5 8-3 10 seed 52 California 20-10 61 3-5 4-2 7 seed 57 Alabama 17-12 12 5-6 4-3 10 seed 58 Seton Hall 18-11 36 5-4 3-4 10 seed Source: CollegeRPI.com

Not cool. :whip: They were also spouting off stats about how many teams made it to the sweet 16 out of ACC/B12 and comparing that to how many made it out of the MVC, of course the more bids you get the more will make it to the 16, simply math. I wish Rafferty was the main color man on CBS...time for FudgePacker to go
March 13, 200619 yr UC not getting in is a joke. I also can't believe Kennedy hasn't got picked up by UC? Nancy needs to get her head out of her ass.
March 13, 200619 yr UC not getting in is a joke. I also can't believe Kennedy hasn't got picked up by UC? Nancy needs to get her head out of her ass. Lets leave Nancy out of this please...she is not some ultimate dictator with complete control. Please know that there is a board of trustees that has ultimate say over what she does. It is Mike Thomas who you should look at during this decision making process not Nancy Zimpfer.

March 14, 200619 yr Back to the RPI thing...UC has an RPI of 40 and doesn't get in. UK has a 41 and GETS AN 8 SEED. How the fuck does that work?
March 14, 200619 yr gggrrr. im still so mad. since im up in cbus i dont hear talk radio in cincy but i have heard from a friend that a lot of talk radio is talking up some conspiracy between littlepage and zimpher/the new UC AD. I dont for a second believe it without proof but any insight on that?
March 14, 200619 yr this entire situation absolutely defies logic. I cant think of one good reason UC didnt get in. I am trying to reason it with myself, but cant.
March 17, 200619 yr We thank Xavier for participating in this year's tourney. Next time, try harder. (BTW, what did happen [Was watching LSU down here]? I saw Xavier up by 10 and next thing I know the 'Zags are winning) Go Buckeyes tomorrow.
March 17, 200619 yr X couldn't stop that guy that looks like you ;-) I wish I had more clones. I could get more done. :-D
March 20, 200619 yr Oh c'mon! These kids played one hell of a season and they went up against a traditionally tough team that was totally on their game. Gerogetown's center was just amazing, despite a strong effort by Dials. A few less turnovers and a few less "bricks" from the perimeter and it might have been a very different game. Any fans who went into this tournament with expectations for OSu going all the way were setting themselve's up for a letdown. It was a good dream and they might have gotten close, but it was still a dream. Go Bucks! They'll be even better next year.
March 20, 200619 yr ^Yeah, I was being a little harsher than I should have. :evil: But they still should had reached the Sweet 16 (based on their season's performance). :|
March 22, 200619 yr Bearcats still alive BY BILL KOCH | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER As the game wound down, the chants of "Hire Andy!" again reverberated throughout Fifth Third Arena. There's no way to know if University of Cincinnati athletic director Mike Thomas was paying attention, but one thing the Bearcats do know is their season isn't over yet. E-mail [email protected] Eric Hicks (left), who led UC with 23 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots, battles Minnesota's Zach Puchtel for a rebound in Tuesday's NIT game at Fifth Third Arena. UC won 76-62.
March 22, 200619 yr Anyone in Cincy who likes basketball and Cincinnati sports NEEDS to go out to the game thursday night against the defending NIT Champs. This is the last home game for these seniors and the UC Basketball program derserves all the support in the world! GO OUT AND SUPPORT THE CATS THURSDAY @ 6pm. Call: 513.556.CATS for tix
March 23, 200619 yr ^ I went to the opener with Charlotte and haven't had time to post my photos and won't be able to make this game because I am in Hawaii. Go Bearcats!
March 23, 200619 yr ^Well I guess being in Hawaii is a resonable enough excuss :wink: But for the rest of you CALL: 513.556.CATS for tickets now before it is too late. This is your last chance to see/support the only local team (tristate team) left in March. CHEER CINCINNATI, CINCY WILL WIN.....
March 23, 200619 yr WTF this program is going down fast. 2 starters suspended indefinatly. White and Mohammad.
March 24, 200619 yr Good for him. It must have been tough for him to be away from coaching for a year.
March 24, 200619 yr I am pissed... WTF is going on with UC? White & Mohammad suspended? For f*cking what?
March 24, 200619 yr grades were posted Thurs...... Chuck Machock had some interesting comments at the end of the game, among other subjects, White and Jihad let 'em down b/c they couldn't hack a 'D' WTF is ESPN 'U'?
May 4, 200619 yr K-State, XU game set BY DUSTIN DOW | ENQUIRER STAFF WRITER The deal to bring Bob Huggins back to Cincinnati to face Xavier University has been completed. Xavier, preparing what could be its toughest schedule in school history in 2006-07, will play against Huggins’ Kansas State team Jan. 3 at U.S. Bank Arena. Kansas State will return to U.S. Bank Arena again in 2007-08, and Xavier will travel to Manhattan, Kan. in 2008-09 for the third game of the series. e-mail [email protected] http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060503/SPT/60317013/1062
May 4, 200619 yr I think KSU needs to play UC in a few years....wow!!..what a game that would be!!!! :clap: :clap: :clap:

July 7, 200618 yr Arena gets tourney games in '09, '10 Dayton athletic director Ted Kissell says selections show area has a great environment for college basketball. By Doug Harris Staff Writer DAYTON | Dayton athletic director Ted Kissell was in the midst of a round of golf with wife Deanna on Thursday — and not exactly pleased with his play — when a ringing cell phone brought news that would lift his mood. After learning the NCAA had selected UD to host first- and second-round games of the men's tournament in 2009 and a women's regional in 2010, Kissell felt as if he had holed a 30-foot double-breaker for birdie. "Frankly, I'm stunned," he said... www.daytondailynews.com
July 7, 200618 yr Good news indeed...way to go Dayton. Any if you could, share some of the tips on how to get one of these tourny rounds for us in Cincy.....US Bank Arena is perfect for it. Hey its probably because the NCAA hates Cincy: see '06s NCAA tournament selection committee....thx for the respect assholes!
July 7, 200618 yr Good news indeed...way to go Dayton. Any if you could, share some of the tips on how to get one of these tourny rounds for us in Cincy.....US Bank Arena is perfect for it. Hey its probably because the NCAA hates Cincy: see '06s NCAA tournament selection committee....thx for the respect assholes! Cincy is getting 1st/2nd round games in the immediate future. P.S. The NCAA must still be bent with the Women's Final 4 that was held in Cincy several years back as well. :roll:
March 14, 201114 yr The 2011 NCAA Tournament is here. And Ohio has a prominent role to play. First, it all begins at the University of Dayton Arena with the inaugural First Four play-in games. UD Arena has hosted the #16 vs. #16 play-in game in recent years. But this year they'll get two #16 seed play-in games, one #12 seed play-in game and one #11 seed play-in game. Tuesday features #16 seeds UNC-Asheville and AR-Little Rock playing first - followed by #12 seeds UAB and Clemson. Wednesday features #16 seeds TX-San Antonio and Alabama State - followed by #11 seeds USC and VCU. Second, Cleveland is a first round/second round host city. The Q will host #1 seed Ohio State, #3 Syracuse, #6 Xavier, #8 George Mason, #9 Villanova, #11 Marquette, #14 Indiana State and the winner of the #16 seed play-in game between Texas-San Antonio and Alabama State for games on Friday and Sunday. Third, four Ohio teams made the tourney. Ohio State leads the way as the overall #1 seed of the tournament and #1 seed in the East Region. Xavier is a #6 seed in the East Region. Cincinnati is #6 seed in the West Region. Akron is a #15 seed in the Southwest Region. From Dayton to Houston. Let the March Madness begin.
March 14, 201114 yr My favorite sports time of year is finally here! Its great that dayton is getting an expanded hosting role and that cleveland is also hosting. I wonder what kind of money hosting brings in to the cities? Columbus,cincinatti,and dayton are all hosting for the womens tournament this year and I believe columbus is hosting the mens next year at nationwide arena as well as dayton again for the play in games.
March 14, 201114 yr I haven't followed this year as much as in the past, but this looks like a really wide open field. There are a number of 3 and 4 seeds that I could see winning the whole thing, and a number of 8 and 9 seeds that could conceivably send top seeds home in the second round. The one team that I really want to see if they're for real is San Diego State. It's just such a strange name to see at a #2 seed.
