Dickie V has his post-season blinders on again, and Digger ... whatever (he was dead sure we'd lose to UConn). These guys insist on using double standards to "judge" the teams they don't like. They look at the worst for SU (2 losses all year and some "close" wins ?), but cull the best performances for their personal favorites. Vandy had a great win over Ky. But, the same team lost to Miss.St. and Indiani St. at home and lost 6 conference games in a weak SEC. Even if Vandy stays hot for longer than a couple of days, they have to play Wisconsin in the second round even to get to us.
 
Let's look at Dickie's flavor of the week - FSU. The seminoles have some big wins... a huge beatdown of UNC and back-to-back victories over Duke/UNC in the tourney. Those are solid performances. But they also lost to Princeton, and they lost to lowly Boston College, and (pretty recently) they lost to Miami by 16. Those are crappy losses to non-tournament teams, and with this kind of up and down, you could make a better case the FSU will overlook St. Bonies and loose than you can that they should be favored to take out a 1 seed.
 
BTW, Dickie, SU's losses to non-tourney teams - zero. Its 2 losses all season came with their starting center out on the road, and then in the (meaningless) BET with a 1 seed in their basket. Their RPI is the best in the field, and their conference record (the one they built over 3 months instead of 3 days) is ridiculous.
 
I'm sticking with the Cuse, and when I want color commentary, I'll be sure to dial Dicky in if there's an ACC game.
