So a friend was saying Duke made a big deal about not staying in Greensboro for the tournament but commuting from Durham instead. If that's the case, and they end up as the only team who withdraws due to covid, that's gonna be pointed to as a crucial mistake. If you're deciding to just commute...
That would be pretty typical for the life of a GT fan. Pastner returns us to the NCAA tournament only to be instantly hired away. If the GTAA asks me for money to prevent that, I will heed the call.
Jerry Palm is one of the lesser accurate bracketologists according to bracketmatrix but I would take that and its the same region as Bracketville has us in (most accurate of the last 5 years)
Also, looking closer at some of these potential brackets... Big 10 may not get a team in the final 4...
I saw fanduel had the +1000 for GT. Draftkings GT odds are gonna get hammered with that type of mismatch (checked again its slightly better now at +2000 but still worse than everyone else).
Saw an article with the ACC tourney odds... can our resident gamblers confirm these are right?
FSU: 5/2
UVA: 7/2
UL: 5/1
VT: 5/1
UNC: 5/1
Clemson: 14/1
Duke: 14/1
Pitt: 25/1
GT: 25/1
Debating laying some money if 25/1 is for real.
If MSU makes it, I’ll probably have them going out in the first game in my bracket for sure (unless they get saved by the bracket scheduling Gods). They will have some strong wins on their resume for sure with the OSU, Illinois, and possible Michigan win. But they haven’t been able to do much...
I know in the bracketology thread we’ve been talking about where we might get seeded and avoiding the 8/9 so we don’t face a 1 too early. That being said, if UVA wins and gives us a path where we go through them vs FSU... I will gladly take the 8/9 seed if it’s the price of an ACC tourney run.
I have so much of my PTO booked for this year for family stuff... but maybe I just forgo anniversary to attend my first GT tournament game and first NCAAT game. Didn’t go in 2010, granted I believe this will not be the last with Pastner.
I feel like with this team I shouldn’t be as nervous as I am, but I’m hoping we don’t play down to our opponent and just take care of business. Another Q3 loss would sink us barring a tournament run so let’s win this and then focus on a possible tournament run for good measure.
@slugboy I saw that same poll and was gonna make a comment about it. Moses has come on strong down the stretch to get some attention but the fact they still had Champagnie as the clear favorite makes me think they’re going to excuse Pitt being bad.
Minnesota hasn’t won a game since 2/11 losing their last 6 with 4 to the bottom half of the conference ... if their NET is still top 75 I don’t know what to say.
I know we control our destiny but part of me was still liking the possibility of Clemson becoming a Q1 win.
Also, I know the bye is nice but I feel like the #6 seed has it made. Wake or Pitt in shambles followed by VT who’s stayed on top by just not playing games vs merit.
