ACC not too shabby

[Prof C]

...and Pac-12 getting decimated in this tournament.

I'm worried Oregon might fall in the Duke Invitational Bracket.

Pitt will probably lose. One ref called 5 fouls on Pitt in the first minute and 1/2 of the second half. His Wisconsin check must have cleared at halftime

 

[JP4UNC]

7 fouls on Pitt with 15:06 left in the 2nd half

That's a ball buster, right there.

 

[kwtarheel11]

ACC       6-1
Big East 4-1
Big 12    3-4
Big 10    4-3
Pac 12   2-5

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

ACC       6-1
Big East 4-1
Big 12    3-4
Big 10    4-3
Pac 12   2-5

That can't be right. The Almighty Big 12 can't have a losing record. I mean, they ARE the best conference top to bottom, right? GMAFB!!

 

[Archer2]

Once again the PAC12 and the SEC proving to be the weak sisters of the major conferences.

 

[notashelbyfan]

I hope dook let the league down

With Dan Dakich's conference playing so well, perhaps we can see and hear less of him now, another guy that revises history, like Jalen.

 

[Archer2]

Not sure who to pull for in the IU vs UK game, Tom. I generally like IU a little better than UK. Both are tough matchups if we're fortunate enough to advance to the S16.

IU losses: Michigan, PSU, MSU, Wisconsin, dook, WF, UNLV

UK losses: Tenn, TA&M, Vandy, LSU, Auburn, KU, UCLA, OSU

I think IU is a little better team, they've certainly played in a tougher conference. UK has more bad losses, teams they had no business losing to, but their roster is full of future NBA guys. And they may have the best starting backcourt in the country in Ullis and Murray.

Cream's resumé: won 61% of his games, 1 FF appearance

Cal's resumé: won 77% of his games, 6 FF appearances, 1 title

So you'd have to give Cal the nod, while understanding that he's had much more talent over the last 8 years than any team in the country. And it isn't even close.

 

[TarHeelMark]

I'm thinking Miami will lose to Witchita State today.

 

[illini-heel]

What're your thoughts now? I can't stand MVC teams.

I'm thinking I was wrong.... LOL.

 

[imajericho]

ACC should have realistically 6 sweet 16 teams. Miami Duke UNC UVA UNC Syra Notre Dame

Barring some madness.

 

[MWHeels]

I thought Miami would lose today after blowing the 20 point lead. Rodriguez took over late to get them to the Sweet 16.

Louisville would likely be a 7th candidate for the S16, if they were in the tourney.

 

[Tru Blu Tar Heel]

And it's not out of the realm of possibility for all 4 Final Four teams to be from the ACC. It's an astronomical longshot, but.....

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Louisville would have been sweet 16. They were solid.

 

[Prof C]

 

[ohio tarheels]

12-1 and 6 out of 16 teams left in tournament!!!!

 

[dbav]

Sweet 16 = ACC Invitational

Or

Sweet 16 = ACC / NCAA Challenge

 

[Ozheelfan]

And it's not out of the realm of possibility for all 4 Final Four teams to be from the ACC. It's an astronomical longshot, but.....

I'd love to see UNC, Miami and UVA or the Cuse in the FF. As for the West region..... no need for the ACC to be greedy.

 

[nctransplant]

The west bracket should be renamed the NAIA bracket.

 

[franklin street]

i'd like to see carolina in the final 4 and the rest of the acc sitting at home watching us,

 

[thaUNCshow]

I hate Oregon but I have to cheer for them because Ill vomit if Dook gets to make the Elite 8 by playing UNCW, Yale, and St Joes

Oregon ain't no better I'm afraid.

 

[Heelicious]

Oregon ain't no better I'm afraid.

agreed. Mich State or OU deserved one seeds over Oregon. And Dook should've been a 5 or 6 - a team ripe for a first round minor upset.

Here's just hoping that somehow Oregon holds on tonight, and plays over their heads, and gets some energy from what should be a good relatively close to home game for them. And maybe Phil Knight can pay the officials enough to get the game against Dook called somewhat evenly.

 

[Prof C]

Oregon ain't no better I'm afraid.

Sadly true.

Go Fighting Ducks!

Yeah, I have trouble rooting for an all-ACC Final Four for that very reason.

 

[GoNtheDistance]

Oregon is gravely overrated. They aren't good. They would be middle of the pack in the AcC.

And that's exactly what I'm afraid of. I just pray that if dook does beat Oregon, then Oklahoma doesn't lay an egg against A&M, because A&M will get shellacked by the dookies.
