Wisconsin definitely was getting screwed. Purdue will be first #1 out.

Gotta admit this feels like a very underwhelming conference tourney year.

I feel like it comes down to basically all the 1 seeds being locked up (and if UNC/TENN flip it doesn't matter that much) and there really being no big time regular season races where we are hoping for a rubber match in the title game.

Yup, seems like most of it is pretty set at this point. A few chances for non-tourney teams to make it, like state.

With that said, seems like Hou and Uconn are pretty far ahead of everyone else. I think both are terrible matchups for the Heels.

Anything can happen in March Madness, though.

Oh there is a good portion of the fanbase that already has pitchforks raised. I'm in the portion that is tapping the pitchfork. If UK loses in the first weekend it won't be pretty around here...

I also can't help but feel like conference expansion has killed the conference tourneys.

When you're playing a true round robin, the seeding feels earned in a way it just doesn't now.

Definitely. I just can’t wait to add Cal, Stan and SMU to the ACC next season. That’ll just be so awesome. The players will really love a cross country conference game in the middle of February.

I mean UK both beat UNC on a neutral floor, and lost to UNC Wilmington at home.

Agree all around. Also this UK team is strangely like UNC teams over the years. Emphasis on beating you with great O.

Stan the UCD Aggies with me tonight or be dead to me

We’re playing for the right to be a 16 seed so this is basically my Super Bowl since the actual super bowl

Would have said near zero chance Iowa State snags the last 1 seed but seems quite live at this point

Zero chance UNC is not a 1 seed if they win tonight.

Probably 50/50, because state did not have a good season and the ACC wasn’t very good overall. Iowa State or Auburn, if Auburn wins the SECT, are the other two in play, imo. Possibly Marquette if they pull out the win tonight.

Tonight would be a bad loss. State is 69th in NET. They’re the 10th seed. And they’re on their 5th game in 5 days. I expect to win by double digits, but sports are sports.

Man I did not see that coming from Houston.

Seems like all the snake bitten programs are rounding into March form earlier than expected.

Houston with a loss where their offense completely disappears

Purdue choking away a tight late game situation

Arizona getting put into a slow pace grinder and turning the ball over

Tennessee also just putting up a complete stinker on offense

The difference is that UNC’s offense was always tops in the country and miles ahead of their defense, but by the time March rolled around their defense had improved and capable of winning it all. This is where it’s just never developed with Kentucky this year. I agree with Chuckles. I don’t want them in our bracket though.

We wouldn’t. I don’t think we will be ahead of Hou with a win either. My assumption is Hou, Pur and UConn are locked into the top 3 1s already.

The final 1 is up for grabs between UNC, ISU, Auburn.
