Buffalo, coached by GOAT PG Bobby Hurley, is going to the tournament for the first time ever.
Naturally, they'll be in the 2/15 game against Duke, where they'll be 2.5 point favorites.

Dean Dome or Greensboro Coliseum? You decide
EDIT: UNC decided to play their best half of the season in the final of this completely meaningless* tournament.

Well that's a choke
EDIT: Pat Connaughton looks like a leprechaun
EDIT2: Bilas trying to cape for UNC. This game's done Jay. Carolina ain't got the heart to comeback.

Man, three years of non-Duke/UNC regular season champions and four years of non-Duke/UNC tournament champions (the loser each year being Duke/UNC) -- times are changing. Ugh (and I say that as a NCSU fan).

The Big East now officially runs the ACC. I don't know how to feel about that...
ND's an enigma. Because they can conjure up magical 20-2 runs and then they can also go 12 minutes without a bucket. They're as live by the 3/die by the 3ish as a late 00's Duke team.
I see a lot of people getting suckered by this weekend into picking them for a deep run on their brackets just for ND to go ice cold and lose a 2nd round game.

It was the only outcome once the ACC spread its legs for them.
As for us this loss was just all the issue that infuriate me in one game.
Puzzling sub decisions, lack of defensive adjustments, outdated defensive philosophy, inability to win a tournament of any kind.

yeah, if these 3 meetings have proven anything it's that Oregon doesn't have the size to compete with Arizona on the glass. Jordan Bell getting into foul trouble doesn't help either

My ponies (smu) have a decently important game tomorrow. Would love to see us move down to a 4-5 seed.

Is this a home game or sumthin'?
Jesus that game changed in the blink of an eye last night. Up 8 to down 12 in about 2:30 of game time. Thank god I was out at a bar allowing me to drown my sorrows.
You'd think Grant was James fucking Harden all the damn calls he was getting. Never seen a team attempt 20+ 3s also have 20+ more FT attempts than the other team.

Rhino charging while spinning towards the paint. Definition of a charge. Idk how you can give the offensive player the benefit of that call. Dude was out of control.

The charge should be banned anyways so.

Nah, theyll trip up somewhere int he tourney then we'll just get to hear how they went 38(37,39)-1 when ultimately it wont matter.

Like, there is literally no reason to believe this will happen besides the fact that NCAAT is fraudulent and the best team rarely wins.

I just don't think my reverse jinx will cause this team to slip up. UK is too good this year for voodoo to effect them. We'll see though
UK winning it all is the surest result I can remember in a while. Far more than UNC 09.

Agreed. This is the first time in quite a few years that I would choose 1 team over the field. Wonder if Vegas sees it the same way

Look, I get it. I hate tOSU and I had them pinned at 0% chance to win the NCAAF playoff and I ate crow. They might lose you are correct. But quit trying to be Nostradamus all up in here. Which team is going to trip us up anyways? You realize this is the best basketball team this game has seen in years, right? Are you just going to be one of those guys that pretend it's not because the SEC is weak?
Side note: I have a feeling the SEC will show up in this tourney just because our 10-11 seeds will be matched against other major conferences middle of the road teams and I'm hoping the SEC will win those games this year. Just so all the other haters won't be able to discredit our season.
Nothing personal, Buck. I just hate your team, as I live right on the Ohio river over here in Kentucky. I hope you are wrong but we shall see. Here's hoping we make history though.

Fuck this conference.

Not trying to play Nostradamus here, just how the tounrey works. I have no doubt in my mind that UK is the best team in the country this year by far. Stupid stuff happens in and the best teams dont always win, all it takes is one team to get hot behind the arc.

I guess some people believe that Wisky is a 1 seed win or lose today. Still I rather see them win to secure it.
I think they'll get it regardless. They've lost to Duke, who will be a 1, Rutgers without Kaminsky, and @ Maryland, a probable 3 seed and top 15 team. Also, it's clear UVa isn't the same team as they were with a healthy Anderson. IMO the 1 and 2 seeds fall like this:
Midwest/East/South/West
UK/Villanova/Duke/Wisconsin
Kansas/Virginia/Gonzaga/Arizona
