There wasn’t supposed to be any drama for Oregon on Selection Sunday. The Ducks won the Pac-12 tournament, so they earned an automatic bid to the Big Dance. All that remained was the question of where Oregon would be seeded. The selection committee decided Oregon was worthy of just a 12 seed while giving UCLA and Arizona  six seeds despite the fact that Oregon beat UCLA twice and UCLA beat Arizona three times.

The Ducks will open against Oklahoma State, and despite what many are calling an unfavorable seeding, the Ducks say they don’t care who they play in the NCAA tournament as long as they’re on the dance floor.

The Ducks first round match up will be a meeting of some of the better underclassmen guards in the nation as Oregon’s backcourt of Dominic Artis and Damyean Dotson meet Big-12 Player of the Year Marcus Smart. The Cowboys picked up an at-large bid after falling to Kansas State in the Big-12 tournament semis.

If your silly science professors insist that humans can’t fly, counter with this.
