Does Tom Emanski make a basketball video? Because Tennessee could really use it.

TheB has proven he isn't worthy of legitimate discussion clearly with some of his loltastic posts. Please note that a 80% Ty Lawson (and he'll be better than that in the NCAA tournament) put it in your boys for the 5th straight time last Sunday.

dlk9s -- I rarely watch the Big 10 but I've been wondering the same thing. Just from the eye test Minnesota looks better and they have more good wins I feel like and they swept Wisconsin.

UNC was the safest #1 seed going into the conference tournaments and we are the safest #1 coming out. Plain and simple. Get over it man.

all I'm saying is:

based on how tough the ACC was this year, combined with Duke's record and strength of schedule, plus winning the ACC tourrney today should put them in the mix to possibly get a #1 seed

Duke fan or not, douche or not, I honestly believe the Devils have an argument

Do people really believe the committee will punish teams for being from the same conference when determining #1 seeds? Lots of stupid in this thread today.

Miss St. is catching LSU and Tenn playing their worst games of the year on back-to-back days. I'm ready to puke.

unc uconn ville and pitt have the best resumes by far. i dont know why there is so much discussion. duke is also a pretty clear 5th

edit: i guess i could understand an argument for duke over louisville

vitale and patrick love watching duke or unc outlast another ACC team and then proclaim the losing team 'very dangerous' or 'primed to make a run in the tourney'

it's ugly but the end of this UT WSU game is extremely competitive and a great environment

They have one of the toughest schedules in the country. Like, Butler might not be a .500 team type of schedule ZING!

Team 1: RPI 18, SOS 2

Team 2: It doesn't ****ing matter because team 1 has never been left out of the dance.

Tennessee has an RPI of 24 and their kenpom is 33. You don't understand how this works do you?

so because teams are willing to play Tenneessee but not Butler makes Butler bad?

So they beat two teams that are in the tournament (Siena and Marquette) They lost to those that are gonna be what 4-5 seeds.

Look at Maryland and Zona who beat top ranked teams, especially Maryland who beat the top teams in the ACC and may not get in (though I think they are) but the fact that Maryland is on the bubble in the toughest conference with some of the biggest wins against the best teams and Tennessee is easily in when they have done nothing really, because that G-town win doesn't look as good anymore blows my mind
