PSU is a 16 seed and plays Kansas

[jibjab]

I think you guys got hosed. You easily deserved a 14, and a Portland St. vs Xavier match-up would be a much closer game.

PSU got screwed by the selection committee. You should have had a 15 seed at worst. The good news is you get to play Kansas, the biggest choke artists in the NCAA tourney the past 20 years. Virtually every year they disappoint so why not have PSU be the deliverers of their bad news this year! Good luck, PSU!

 

[frinq]

From what I've seen over the last couple games, the Jayhawks are anything but a choke team this year. Should be a good game.

 

[WileyKUFan]

Definitely should have been a 14 seed (no worse than 15!).

Tough break.

I'm rooting for Portland State to beat the #1 Kansas team. Wouldn't that be awesome?

Roy Williams sucks

So...educate me on your team, I don't know a whole lot about you guys yet. Style? Strengths? Weaknesses?

I'll get a game preview up from our perspective by Wednesday. Also, look for one from Ian Ruder's more official team blog at Oregonlive.com, likely by Wednesday night.

Was wondering how long that would take.

On the plus side for PSU, it's extremely unlikely KU will have its largest scoring margin of the year...Texas Tech took care of that one on Senior Night.

Weird, PSU did hold the record for the largest victory margin(1008-56 over Montana) until that game(109-51 over TT)

Well, looks like we have our work cut out for us. ;-)

I can't wait for CBS to flip over with their 'upset watch' when we're up 3-0 with 14:57 to go in the first half.

Ok, now thats funny. Congrats on making the Big Dance. Should be a fun one to watch.

we play hoops goodie at kansas
portland sate your in for a slobbr kncker

The above quote is almost certainly a Missouri Tiger, KSU Wildcat, or UNC Tarheel (our board has been infested with them recently) impersonating a Jayhawks fan.

Congratulations on the bid and good luck.

...and now it begins. Expect more of the same from "fans" of certain Big 12 rivals. Ban the miserable lot.

Your team deserves a higher seed. I look forward to a hard fought and injury free game. Enjoy the ride.

What a thrill to be playing a storied program like Kansas.

I am thinking of KU and the State of Oregon connections....

Darnell Valentine, KU Jayhawk and Portland Trail Blazer.

Ralph Miller, Legendary coach at Oregon State and multi-sport star at KU.

Others?

UMBC schedule... wins over George Washington, La Salle (one of Philly's Big 5) on the road, only one non-D-1 team. OK, I can see them being rated over Portland State.

American beat Maryland. http://www.umbcretrievers.com/sports/mbball/schedule.asp

American is the team closer to Portland State here, really.

It could be that the key reason PSU is a 16 is going down to the wire against Lewis & Clark. Part of that is coaching, part of that is SCHEDULING, which is only made harder by Stott Center. I can squarely blame a 16 on PSU hardly being able to schedule any D-1 teams in the gym (because you can't develop a team solely on the road, you can't always get a game at UCLA, you have to try to attract fans). I dearly hope that Stott can be renovated and/or replaced in short order.
