We are #9 Bid!

[BBV_Horn]

Yipppeeeeee!!

 

[BBV_Horn]

Good news....we got in....bad news, if we win our #1 game vs Marquette, we then play Tennessee...

 

[overseasbbfan1]

Yes, the dreaded 8th and 9th seed position - but I'm glad we're in regardless. And maybe the entire population of Troy will buy tickets and rock the house for the Horns!

Hmmmm. Apparently they saw the overall body of work in a more favorable light than even I did with my orange shades.

I’m pleased to find that there are others who see some positive in this team. There are issues. But, it is far from being all doom and gloom.

Let’s go get a win!

 

[BabHorn]

what? they did this before 7pm? I thought the selection show was at 7pm. I'm watching Bones waiting for 7pm.

 

[jusme828]

YAY!! Let's go Horns!!!

 

[tott10]

wow i did NOT see that coming. that just made my night!

 

[DINO22]

I knew it was coming Tott10.

I'm sorry, Babhorn, it's my fault. I posted the 7pm on another thread but that's Eastern time where I am currently. Someone posted the correct time today but it was kind of late and doubt everyone saw it. Sorry!!

 

[overseasbbfan1]

I am disappointed that the men's selection got four hours of coverage on ESPN and women just one. They could have at least given the women a couple of hours

 

[Moooooo]

More women's bracket coverage on ESPNU right now.

 

[overseasbbfan1]

I don't know if I get ESPNU but I'm looking for it as we speak!

[BBV_Horn]

Does anyone else wish we had gotten a lower seed?

I wish we were in that bracket with Ohio State...would have loved to see AG vs Lavender....

Oh well, we are in, and I feel SURE we will beat Marquette!!

Go, Horns!!

PS....NCAA bracket shows game to be played on Friday, ESPN shows it playing on Saturday....and the real scoop is??

 

[BabHorn]

#9! Wow! wasn't expecting that. Win Saturday and we get Tenn. Got to get past Marquette first.

Woohoo! Go, Horns!.

And got 7 Big 12 teams in!

 

[BBV_Horn]

Everyone said Big 12 is toughest conference, and deserved to have 7 teams in, and sure enough that came to pass....

It says a LOT about our conference, and it says a lot about the competition that Texas has had to face after losing our #1 post...

Say what you want about us, folks, but we (for the most part) did the best we could with what we had....

Those that have knowledge and BRAINS voted for us based on that...nay-sayers, take that and shove it where the sun don't shine!

 

[True2Horns]

The sun don't shine much in Seattle...

I am very surprised Texas got in with a 7 - 9 conference record

 

[Seattle4UT]

Very mature BBV. I've seen children more intelligent than you.

 

[basketsofhorns]

I think so many 8's and 9's from our conference is a great way he selection committee says how tough the Big 12 conference is. Now's the time to prove it. Wouldn't it be great if we all win through to the second round and then Surprise some #1 seeds?

 

[DINO22]

I am not surprise that they got in with a 7 - 9 Record, its not the 1st time that has happen for Texas.They deserve to be in the NCAA.

I don't know that this was "dreaded" - I expected us to get an 11 or 12. I'd much rather play an 8 in the first round than a 5 or 6.
