RedEyedGhost Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Notre Dame is really giving it to Duke right now and Virginia fell to UNC. Does anyone want the other one seeds?!!! Is Duke a 1 now? The have one neither their conference regular season championship nor the tournament championship. I don't see how a team can be a 1 if they don't win either of those. UK is a lock, Arizona will be if they can win the PAC12 tourney... Wisconsin if they win the B1G, and maybe even Gonzaga? I can't see them not putting an ACC team on that line, but there sure as shit shouldn't be two, and Virginia is more deserving. ETA: Mike Brey seems really likable in his post game interviews.

They were able to get through an easy second half of their conference schedule without him but the Louisville and the UNC games really show how much they need him healthy. Brogden can't be 100% of their offense. I wish the freshman Shayok would get more minutes instead of Nolte who has been cold all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Wow, Buffalo did it. It was a tight first half but they put away Akron, now they're back in the MAC tournament championship for the first time in 10 years. First chance they've had in 10 years to make the dance. And, as expected, they're playing Central Michigan. Winner gets probably a #14 seed in the NCAA, loser probably gets a pretty good seed in the NIT*. Its a big deal. *ESPN's bracketology seems to think that Central Michigan will win, but that Buffalo is good enough to make the 'Next four out' list.

As of right now, Lunardi has Duke as a one seed because Duke. Jerry Palm has Wisconsin replacing Duke. You advocate UW and UA, but what would you do with Villanova? I'd say UVA is a lock as is Nova, its the fourth one seed that's up for grabs and it comes down to Duke, UW, and UA. I think for all the reasons you note for Duke to slip, I'd stick UW in there by virtue of my perception that the B1G Icantcount is a stronger conference overall than the PAC XII. ETA: I also have to say that I just noticed that CBS' Jerry Palm also has his predictions called "Bracketology." That surprises me at least a little bit because I would have thought ESPN would have trademarked that years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a completely different team without him, and unfortunately I don't think they can make a deep run if he keeps playing like he did yesterday (or if he has a setback).

Their noon-con SOS is terrible, and the Big East is a far cry from what it was, so I'm not sure where they fit in. I can't them rising above a 2 though. But I'm no "bracketologist."

Tyrion the Perfect Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Holy shit, just turned on Auburn-Kentucky. The size differential between these two teams made me spit up my coffee. Think this is going to get really ugly, really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 They keep hyping that Nova hasn't won the Big East tournament since 1986... Even if they win tonight, have they really won the Big East? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this is going to get really ugly, really fast.That's how I felt when KU played them, and we're not small relative to most teams (but we are smaller than normal, and most of our players play below the rim even though they have the physical tools to play above it).

Rhom Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 With the Cyclones win tonight, I predict a UW win tomorrow bumps them to a one and moves ISU into the two in the MidWest opposite Kentucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about ISU, but there's no way I see KU as a 1 seed at this point. I was skeptical of them being a 1, but I can't see it now any way you work it (no offense REG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ded As Ned Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Here I found myself routing for Buffalo (because Fez), until they showed a close-up of their coach on TV and I was reminded that now I have no choice but to route for Central Michigan.

Tyrion the Perfect Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Just watched ND swat down Carolina. The "experts" I've seen don't give the Irish a chance at a #2 seed. I know their non-con schedule is pretty weak but 2 wins against a probable top-seed (Duke) some other really good wins and an ACC tournament title. Not sure who should get bumped but I think you can make a real case. ETA: quotation marks on "experts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 UCLA held up decently well against Arizona last night but couldn't pull it off. They are on the bubble, big-time, and probably not going to make it if you ask me. Looking forward to the Arizona v. Oregon finale here. Arizona has been easily the best team the conference this year with Utah and Oregon pretty much neck-and-neck for the next spot. They played a close game last night before Might Joe Young put it away. Sorry about your Jayhawks, REG. Rhom - I think you should share your guilt journal with the board. I know that you have one. You must have written screeds to yourself about the unimaginable conflict within your soul. Share it with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushroomshirt Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Notre Dame was perfect against Duke and did well against UNC. Take away the first few minutes of the second half and they were perfect in that game too. Whatever seed they get they ND is hot now and will be tough to beat.
