C'monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, better than an 8-seed! That's all I'm hoping for, that the committee doesn't want to potentially throw a 30-4 #13 RPI team with 24 wins in its last 25 games at a #1 seed in the second round.

Also for Southern Miss to get in. Their resume is nothing special because C-USA was spectacularly bad from 3-12, but they're a ****ing beast to play and I love watching them.

Last year there were at least 3-4 teams like Kentucky, North Carolina, etc that stood out.

This year, you might really be better off throwing darts at a board. Indiana can get bogged down in half court games, KU lost a game to flipping TCU. Michigan limped to the finish line. Miami might get caught asleep against a weaker opponent. Duke looked strong with Kelly back, then promptly went out and lost their first game in the ACC tourney.

People rip on Gonzaga, and I probably won't pick them to win... but they certainly don't look much worse than everyone else. They pretty much ran through all the Big 12 teams they played this year.

I agree with all of this.

I keep telling people Gonzaga is pretty legit.

Yeah. It's going to be one ****ed up tournament. Every team has their own little fatal flaw. Somebody has to string together six games and cut down that net though.

It's times like these, I'm just thankful for Bill Self. In Bill I trust.

This year's awesome because no one has any idea what's going to happen.

... which means it's going to be chalk all the way, I guess.

SEC Champs!

It's gonna be funny when Henderson goes 4-17 in the first round and his team gets bounced.

Dude is the biggest prick in CBB.

Indiana State has to be kicking themselves at the moment. If they hadn't completely collapsed at the end of the year the Missouri Valley might have gotten three teams in. They beat the ACC champ, SEC champ, whipped MVC champ Creighton by 20 during the regular season, beat Wichita State on the road, and took Mountain West champ New Mexico to OT.

You think Akron has a chance to make some noise?

tk13 · 03-17-2013, 01:37 PM

I don't know... I thought they'd have trouble beating Ohio for the MAC title since their starting PG is suspended and Ohio still has DJ Cooper... but they whipped them. You think that would still hurt them in the tourney though. Can't imagine them making a run like Ohio did last year without their PG.
