Thank god that UNC is not in Charlotte though.
People always act like Duke playing their opening rounds in North Carolina is a blessing but that's basically a road game when UNC's playing in the same building on the same day.

Lol so the game was useless. Wisky was a 1 no matter what.

Gottlieb just went in about UCLA
He's a fucking turd but he's right

Self has never ducked WSU. Marshall has never even asked to play. Never even called. Granted it is prob because he knows the answer, but Marshall just likes to whine. KU used to play WSU all the time. The shockers got rolled so many times that they quit the matchup. Now they just want to play when it is convenient. KU has no reason to go play a mid major road game. No other blue blood would ever ever ever do that. KU won't either.

Upper left and bottom right are the strongest regions.

I love how like last year we potentially have to face Oregon to get to the sweet 16 and Arizona to get to the Final Four just like last season.

What the fuck good is SOS if a team is 3 in fucking 12 against the top 50
You know what that looks like to me? An NIT team.
Can't consistently beat tourney teams? Well let's put you in the tourney anyway at least you tried!

The South? LOL no, it's not.
Yeah, ISU is really the only competition for Duke in that region. Part of the reason I'm taking ISU is because I can't stand to put Duke in my Final Four lol.
Realistically speaking we're getting UK/Duke in the title game, ugh.
I was just about to ask this.
Down with Duke! Speaking of duke, I'm ready to watch I Hate Christian Laettner, because I do.
NMSU has a better Kenpom than two 12's and 2 13's. 50 plus spots better than every other 15. They are a pretty good team.
Wish that mid-major teams got a fairer shot. Not sure how I feel about Dayton being one of the last four in. That seems a bit harsh given the season they've had, but having them play another game here is going to be crazy. And it falls on St. Patrick's day. There are going to be so many cops here after the riots from the last two years.

Comitte going to take name value of wins everyday
Meh, Texas is probably going to beat Butler though.

The bubble: where one lousy team gets left out in favor of another lousy team and yet people get mad anyway.
WSU has to get past Indiana first. They don't have the height to exploit Indiana (although they do have some wide bodies).

you sure? because it happened 3 years ago. and 2 years before that
Not as long as they win 20 games.

Those UCLA teams didn't deserve to get in. If any Oregon help our S.O.S. and like I said Murray St should be in
P5 got way too much favortism this year. Absolute bullshit. Poor Temple.
Yup, Zona wasn't really even in contention for a 1.
Surprised UNC was ranked above Maryland.

NIT announced in 70 minutes. Go Gophers! (my rage has lessened. Let's play more ball...or not as we probably won't be picked).

So much for winning the ACC tournament.
Even after that beat down we gave you last night?

Anyone want to say they'll make the tourney thread?

That's the spirit. This could fill the N slot of the upset alphabet.
Should have been Oklahoma, I don't even understand how they're a 3 in the first place. Should have been swapped with Maryland IMO.

For real, Oregon matches up HORRIBLY with Arizona. If we can somehow avoid Zona we've got an 80 point destiny loss waiting for us against UK in the final
Fair. It really makes no sense that UCLA got in despite them playing better these days….
Best wins
H-Utah by 3
H-Oregon by 9
Three more Top 100 wins against NIT teams.
Look at these losses:
N-Oklahoma by 10
N-UNC by 22
H-Gonzaga by 13
N-Kentucky by 39 (41-7 at halftime lol)
A-Utah by 32
A-Oregon by 18
A-Arizona by 30
Temple deserved the spot. Oh well - PAC 12 PAC 12 PAC 12
