Wake must have declined.

Michigan #5 seed... Lazy Committee work as usual on the final Sunday. They lock BIG teams in before the BIG final starts -- its hard to convince me otherwise.

That dummy Seth Davis made a comment about Michigan should be upset as a #5 seed. He should know better than most that the lazy committee was finished on Saturday night. The only change would have been if UAB beat Memphis.

 

[kirbivore]

Wow, UNC gets in.
Very surprised.

I wasn't. A true blue blood that's anywhere close will 99% get in

March Madness 2025: Iowa State announces star 'won't be available' for Big Dance moments after getting 3-seed

St John's not in Newark confirmed. Was expecting that -- couldn't see the puzzle working for them as a lower 2 seed.

Also didn't want to make Duke play a road game in Newark.

 

[kirbivore]

wisc is a poor 3 seed. I think Duke has a good draw.

I do agree with Seth (which means fade is lol) on BYU

I know it's the Masters theme but another tradition unlike any other is Duke getting a cake draw.

UConn as an 8. Gotta figure Florida not extremely happy with that.

Gators boat race storz if they can beat Oklahoma first.

#12 seed Col State is a 2.5 point favorite over #5 seed Memphis.

Vegas knows

Goodness the ACC’s crappiness is on full display.

Louisville went 18-2 in conference, made the title game and was ranked in the top 15. Getting an 8 is just an embarrassment for the league. And LVille gets stuck playing a Creighton team that is so much better than a 9 seed.

This conference is so far behind the B1G and SEC, and even the B12 too. It’s a bloated mess. The fact that we are so far down the pecking order here shows just how difficult it will be to just become relevant again.

It will be broken up before 2035. The mighty GOR won't be so mighty the closer we get to that year.

Was wondering if Coach K designed that bracket.

 

[Madbiker]

Louisville 8 and Clemson 5 ??? Still think Louisville got screwed there

Clemson beat Duke and Kentucky. Ville lost to both . That probably played with the Committee.

Arkansas? Are you kidding me?

The committee chair didn’t hurt the chances.

I didn't watch it. Was Charles Barkley there to show off his encyclopedic knowledge of college hoops?

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Remember kids, it’s a television show. Heels bring eyeballs.

Should be a TV show for the teams deserving of being in the tourney at all (in terms of matchups / seeding) but they shouldn’t flat out put in undeserving teams just for ratings.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

UNC’s AD is the chair?? Lol such garbage. WVU should have been in.

But but but they leave the room when their team is discussed and the other committee members immediately forget who the chair is

 

[STEVEHOLT]

So how do they square seeding. Louisville where they did and yet putting Carolina in? If Ville at 18-2 is an 8 seed then UNC cannot be in. There is no way to make that logic work

I know people complain about 14 SEC teams getting in. But honestly, if you watch their conference closely, they are that good. The 14th best team in that conference (Texas) is better than the other bubble teams like UNC, Boise, Xavier, Indiana, etc. Ultimately I think the committee got that right.

No issues with SEC. I’ve watched them quite a bit and winning that tournament is probably harder than winning a National Championship.

Why are you so hell bent on the ACC breaking up?

Did someone say the GOR was a lifetime contract?

Nope. But people have spent years being adamant about how "iron clad" it is. And yet now, with the full support of membership, the GoR basically starts dissolving in 4 years.

The conference as we know it will be gone soon.
