Seed prediction

Would it not be one of the greatest moments in Carolina history to eliminate Kentucky this year. I actually want them.

I see the usual optimism is on display.



I'd be happy to be the team to beat UK. I'd also like a shot at KU!

Bur- Go pour yourself a JD and set the DVR for the selection program. You'll feel better.
 
How is dook getting yet another #1 seed?

UVA won the ACC Regular Season, they have a better record than dook.

Ok Bur- 2 JD for you! Optimism? Yes, The Heels got to the ACC championship game. Would you have bet we would have done that 2 weeks ago. We are capable of beating anyone. And yes, we can lose to anyone as well. I think we made some great strides this week. Came up short. We are a better team than we were 2 weeks ago and that gives me some optimism.

Me too- and the Sweet 16 would be the best chance of catching them unfocused.

UK has the best team hands down, but the best team doesn't always win. The only thing for certain is that if UK does lose in the NCAAT, they will all be claiming they were screwed because everything in the NCAAT should be 4 out of 7.

Yes, I sure did. I saw them beat a #17 team after beating Boston College the night before. Then, they beat the #3 team in the country the night after beating #17. Then they played the #11 team hard and had a chance to win. Hard to win 4 nights in a row and 3 of the 4 are in the Top 20 of the country. Beating UVA alone gave me plenty to think differently.

So, yes, I saw quite a bit to make me think differently.
 
We're a solid 4 . . . wouldn't mind it a bit if we were in the West.

Well that 24-2 run by ND certainly won't help our confidence, but it should be motivation for the next time you "knock a team down" you should immediately stomp the shit out of them.
 
Looking at the other thread, I could see us getting a 4 seed in Novas bracket too. The selection committee seems to have a knack for doing that kind of thing, and we are to Nova what KU is to Roy.

depends on them...do they think they closed out and rebounded well?...i think it could've been better, but some of those bounces were crazy...it should tick berry off about that turnover that led to the bucket and the board that hicks/johnson missed.

it'd be great to get the confidence of jackson next week and just pinson's athletic minutes, but i doubt it happens...seriously, when has carolina gotten a hot freshman on an average team that carried them?...every team gets that kid it seems.

I also think we grab a 4 but don't think we end up in kentucky's bracket.
Hope not GoN... However I think the NCAA committee would do this as a "favor" the Heels...

I have been cheering for Kentucky to keep winning until they face the Heels. My dream is that Kentucky goes 39-0, and then loses to the Heels in the national title game. It would be the perfect ending.
 
I am so sick of Lunardi and other "experts" telling us the "rational" for the seeding and "what the committee" might do...UVa wins the regular season ACC and (potentially) gets hosed in selection (Dook) due to the home/away issue, not sure at all how losing by 20 pts to Miami in Derm helped Dook (?) but junk about SOS and neutral sites etc...the win at Wisc sure was a feather in Dook's cap but heck, when have they shot 68% from the floor since?

The great outcry will come from Miami and NCSU, they should go but does the ACC go 7 to the tourney?
 
I think we have a good case for a 4 but the 11 losses could push us to a 5, even through we had a great SOS. Hope we can get the 4 and avoid a 12 seed matchup
 
But-Heel , I was worried too about this having the same effect on the team as the collapse at Louisville. But I really think this team now knows it can go a long way. It's tourney time and there should be no problem getting fired up to play. GO HEELS,
