The low majors could always send their regular season champion vice having a Conference tournament. The low majors now face what the ACC teams faced back when only one team per conference were allowed in. Makes for interesting Conference Tournaments. Doesn’t necessarily get the best team in...

Clemson won a 20 minute game, interesting!

The highest seed to ever win was an #8 seed Villanova in 1985. Five #11 seeds have made the Final Four. So basically no low seed is likely to win and very few ever get to the Final Four. The Oakland over Kentucky is better than Wake losing to Kentucky by a long way! Most mid pack P6 teams...

The11 over the6 has been a solid pick for years now. Clemson is in trouble today.

Apparently their Center Dante missed a good chunk of the season and has rounded into form of late which has made them better than their seed!

Lots of good points. The NBA has been about players over teams for a long time. I recall in Hewitt's first few years he made comments on that subject that people use to be Knicks and or Bulls fans but the game had changed to being Lebron or Jordan fans first. I am curious as to who are the...

Playing bad teams hurts unless the better team dominates in "efficiency" metrics. UVA generally does not dominate on offensive efficiency. The biggest plus is beating good OOC teams. The ACC has not been great as a conference in doing that the past few years. I am not a fan of the Quad...

Forbs has been solid at Wake but no NCAATs in his 4 years and a 37-41 Conference record. He is close to making the NCAAT every year. High turnover and he gets a star guard from the Portal every year.

That's a bit harsh in my opinion. Players move for lots of reasons. Most of the movement is up from mid majors or lower to P6 teams by very good or from P6 teams down as for players can't get on the court for at the P6 level. There are players who simply move for the money but they are vastly...

Virginia basketball hurts the ACC as their metrics are bad but they are almost always a top 3 conference team that falls on their face in the NCAAT with one big exception. They were one of the last 4 in and showed why.

Mid Majors who lost in their Conference Tournaments were hurt this year.

So in football it's ESPN colluding with the SEC and in Basketball it's the NCAA colluding with the NCAA. LOL- How does the Big 12 keep getting so many teams in every year?

I don’t see Purdue pulling a Virginia and even making the Final Four.

It's all about the "metrics." As you know I am not a fan of all the computer modules, football more so than basketball. The NET rankings, which I am not a fan of, have Miss St at 31, A&M at 45 while Providence is 58 ans Seaton Hall is 67. This is the problem with "metric" based systems. Once...

What do you think the committee got wrong. There is very little complaining this year.

Pick UCONN;)

Inbounding the ball is about 10th on our list of issues. We probably had 6-8 inbound turnovers at most in 30+ games. The team has lots to do this off season. Most important is the roster construction. There is no close second. The roster will determine the buy in and everything that...

The NCAAT Committee can consider player availability as well as Coaches availability in seedlings. That was a topic last year when Bill Self’s availability was in question. The answer the NCAA put out was yes it could be considered the same as if a player was not available.

You realize ESPN Does NOT Televise the NCAAT. Who in the ACC that didn’t make it can you make a stron case for? Maybe Pitt. No one else. GT hurt Wake as did their one and done in the NCAAT. NCST would not be in except for winning the ACCT. Virginia will have a tough time winning a play in...
