St John's COULD be tough, gave us some problems earlier. Team I most wanna avoid is Iowa St.

 

[Tapiozona]

Congrats Duke. That bracket is silly stupid easy. Gonzaga is the only obvious challenge

 

[truly101]

huh? Don't think that's true at all. What NBA talent does Bama get? If anything, it must be really hard to recruit at Alabama. LSU, Tenn, Arkansas tends to get talent but regularly wastes it (except when Pearl was there).

Up through Gottfried, they would get good players and there its surprising the amount they has in the league for a while. Bama can get hoops talent.

 

[RellyRell28]

So Wisconsin and Arizona's going to be in the same bracket fro the second year in a row. Lol

 

[bucknuticus]

Christ were getting sent out west

 

[DominoKid]

mid majors getting fucked

shit ass Texas, Indiana, UCLA getting in and not even first four

garbage ass name brand teams. can't wait to hear the committee's plea cop for this.

 

[Fjordson]

Duke's bracket unsurprisingly light :lol

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Congrats Duke. That bracket is silly stupid easy. Gonzaga is the only obvious challenge

Stop pretending Duke is making it past the second round.

A bit disappointed they won't face Kentucky.

 

[Deleted member 12837]

Do either Robert Morris or North Florida have a decent PG? Have Winslow take him out.
Surprised St Johns is our 2 since we just played them 2 months ago. I like our chances if we get past them.

Didn't one of their players get suspended for 2 weeks?

 

[Velcro Fly]

garbage ass name brand teams. can't wait to hear the committee's plea cop for this.

won't be as obvious as the CFP leaving out one of TCU/Baylor though

UNI as a 5 is a crock too

 

[sf2fanatic]

Bring it on Larry Brown!!

 

[RellyRell28]

#1 seed lol Kaminsky

 

[bucknuticus]

Stop pretending Duke is making it past the second round.

A bit disappointed they won't face Kentucky.

They dont have to play a 14 seed until way later, so theyll be ok

 

[Fjordson]

Didn't one of their players get suspended for 2 weeks?

Yeah. Their best big man is out. 4th leading shot blocker in the nation.

 

[DarkFlow]

Arizona should have gotten Duke's seed. Highway robbery.

 

[bucknuticus]

Committee loves the big 12....

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Mid Majors got screwed all up and down the board.

Indiana as a 10? Texas and UCLA in the field? FOH

That's none of my business tho

Didn't one of their players get suspended for 2 weeks?

Yeah their best player is unavailable to at least the Final Four.

 

[Crisco]

Word, we get the weakest 1 in round 2 (if we beat LSU ....).

 

[sf2fanatic]

Damn Georgetown gotta go long distance. And against a team that's gonna have tons of fans

 

[RellyRell28]

Oh god we got the pool of death

 

[DominoKid]

Haaaahhhhhhhvahd is going down!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Wow, potential Iowa/ISU matchup in the Sweet 16? Also my finance's SMU potential second game? What a selection.

We comin' UAB.

 

[chicko1983]

is there a conspiracy in college bball like the NCAA and broadcasters want Duke in the Final Four?

 

[Fjordson]

West region is rough.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Word, we get the weakest 1 in round 2 (if we beat LSU ....).

So basically LSU has the weakest 1 in round 2.


Incidentally, who is the 1?

 

[bucknuticus]

lol a 10 seed.

 

[Bowser]

Time to irrationally take UNC to the Elite 8 in my bracket!!

 

[Grover Cleveland]

UNC going to beat Wisconsin...

 

[DominoKid]

are there conspiracy in college bball like the NCAA and broadcasters want Duke in the Final Four?

definitely. the committee loves to make matchups and runs for ratings.

UNC going to beat Wisconsin...

not a chance. they'll bomb us out from deep.

 

[Velcro Fly]

lol a 10 seed.

same as IU in a harder region

what the fuck

 

[Mac the KNife]

Tough draw for the Buckeyes.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

is there a conspiracy in college bball like the NCAA and broadcasters want Duke in the Final Four?

If there are conspirators, they're disappointed every year.

 

[DarkFlow]

I still don't understand how Wisconsin and Duke got a 1 seed over Arizona. Wisconsin needed OT to win there title game, and duke got bounced in the 2nd round. Real 1 seed materiel there.

 

[bucknuticus]

Tough draw for the Buckeyes.

Committee never likes us, we always get screwed

Thad vs his past assistant coach in round 2 potentially, but the committee never looks at stuff like that, naaaaah

 

[BTM]

Temple got hosed

 

[Bowser]

I still don't understand how Wisconsin and Duke got a 1 seed over Arizona. Wisconsin needed OT to win there title game, and duke got bounced in the 2nd round. Real 1 seed materiel there.

All 3 of Zona's losses were sub-100 RPI losses. Wisconsin and Duke's losses were quality compared to Zona's.

 

[eznark]

They had to beat actual basketball teams though.

 

[unknownstranger]

Georgetown losing early in the tournament is basically free money.

 

[Fjordson]

I still don't understand how Wisconsin and Duke got a 1 seed over Arizona. Wisconsin needed OT to win there title game, and duke got bounced in the 2nd round. Real 1 seed materiel there.

Wisconsin is fine, but Duke is a little iffy.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Total body of work though.

All of Duke's losses are better than Arizona's best loss and their best wins blow Zona's best wins out of the water.

Wisconsin has one bad loss without their best player.

It is an indictment on the whole notion of having to win your conference tournament though. Past committees have valued it more. I guess this one didn't.

 

[truly101]

Yeah. Their best big man is out. 4th leading shot blocker in the nation.

Big men aren't Duke's problem.

 

[devilhawk]

Welp. KU would gladly trade places with any other 2, 3, or 4. The Kenpom numbers for the 15 and 14 seeds are funny as all hell.

 

[DarkFlow]

All 3 of Zona's losses were sub-100 RPI losses. Wisconsin and Duke's losses were quality compared to Zona's.

We lost all 3 games by a total of 9 points. All on the road.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Teams that have disgusting records against the top 50 should be hit harder. 3-12 against the top 50? Should be in the first four.

 

[Tapiozona]

We lost all 3 games by a total of 9 points. All on the road.

They were still terrible losses. Particularly ASU since playing there is almost a home game.

 

[Bowser]

Wisconsin is fine, but Duke is a little iffy.

They're both fine. Can't afford to lose to terrible teams and expect a 1 seed against the crop of candidates this season.

We lost all 3 games by a total of 9 points. All on the road.

It's all comparative though and a loss is a loss.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

is there a conspiracy in college bball like the NCAA and broadcasters want Duke in the Final Four?

If we get going Duke's not going to have it easy. Hopefully we get that far.

 

[nillapuddin]

smh at UCLA and some of these major conference picks.

 

[eznark]

s
Wisconsin has one bad loss without their best player.

And starting PG

 

[DarkFlow]

They were still terrible losses. Particularly ASU since playing there is almost a home game.

We can't all be KY. I blame the curtain of distraction!
