Welllll, aren't
you impatient?
Sooooo, OK, here's a second posting for the day:
Pauly McManus, Eagles superfanI’ve been going to BC games for 15 years. From when they were ACC doormats to now when they’re ACC champs. Now that their season during which no other Division I team won more games than the Eagles 29 wins, the Eagles residing atop the ACC standings, and BC winning the ACC Tournament, it’s time for the NCAA Selection Show. It’s a forgone conclusion that the Eagles will be a #1 seed in one of the regions, but it’s still exciting to watch the show and hear that. I got a friend coming over to watch the show with me. He’s really a UCONN fan, so has no interest in where BC is seeded and it’s been a down season for UCONN so they won’t be going to the Big Dance, but he’s been impatiently waiting for the show to begin. Really I think he just can’t wait for the beer and snacks to start.
NCAA Tournament:#1 seeds:
Boston College (East Region); Duke (Midwest); Illinois (South); Mississippi (West).
ACC teams in the Big Dance:
Boston College, #1 seed in the East Region will play the winner of the Eastern Kentucky/Loyola (IL) play-in for a #16 seed.
Duke, #1 seed in the Midwest Region will play #16 seed Nevada.
Florida State, #11 seed in the Midwest Region will play #6 seed Georgia State.
Notre Dame, #4 seed in the South Region will play #13 seed Albany.
Miami (FL), #10 seed in the South Region will play #7 seed New Mexico.
North Carolina, #9 seed in the South Region will play #8 seed Texas Tech.
ACC Teams in the NIT Tournament:
Clemson, #3 seed in the Midwest Region will play #6 seed Murray State.
Louisville, #8 seed in the South Region will play #1 seed St. Bonaventure.
Pittsburgh, #2 seed in the South Region will play #7 seed Utah Valley.
It sure felt good to hear Boston College’s name called out for a #1 seed. Since they’ll be in the East Region, I’m going to try to latch onto some tickets for me and maybe my impatient friend, Wayne.
