pee yew has been overrated all season long ! So , it would not surprise me if they are seeded higher than they should be l It will make me happier when they get beat by a lower seeded team again like #7 seed Minnesota beating #2 seed pee yew in the BTEN tournament !

Overrated all season? There was a pretty good stretch where they weren’t even ranked for a while until well into the conference season. Lol

Virginia goes down to FSU last night scoring 59 points.  They’re headed for another early exit from the tourney.  Gotta be able to score to win in March...

It's amazing. 2 things actually. First...I'll say the same thing I said last year and year before and year before about TB/Virginia. This time of year you need scorers. Maybe they do but it seems like this song/dance from Virginia is routine. Titles aren't won with consistently scoring in the 50's. Secondly...hats off to FSU. After Elite 8 run last year they look every bit of a team that has 2nd weekend in tourney.

Watching Vermont right now and they have a really good player in Lamb and they have the 3 Duncan brothers from Evansville.  They look like a team who will be a 13 or 14 seed who will give someone a really tough 1st round game. They are up on UMBC right now 61-42 with 3 minutes to go so it is pretty safe to assume that they will win.

Watching the Mich St Wisky game and Aaron Henry logging major minutes.  He plays with great energy, has quick feet, and really a nice overall player with a defensive specialist mentality right now.  Looks like we missed out on this one.

I work with his father and once Anderson and Hunter committed they said Archie pretty much stopped calling.  I guess they wanted him to commit but the Henry's were not ready so it must have been first come/first serve.

I said that when he committed

Watching UT beat UK  just shows that you don't need all one and done 5 star players.  The last time these two played they showed that UT has no players on their roster that was top 100 in their class and Schofeld was not in the top 200.  Also the last two days watching UNC/Duke ant this game UT and UK makes the big ten games look so weak.  The flow of the game and just the talent on the floor just seems night and day compared to what we have seen in the big ten games.

Something tells me we won't regret taking Hunter over Henry unless his health forces him out.

You know, the ACC didn't exactly punk the B1G in the challenge.  Michigan did pretty well against the team that went 2-1 against Duke.

Is this a case of 'the grass is greener...'? 

Don't let the networks influence you on the B1G, the networks (ESPN) are the ACC/Duke hype train. 

The B1G is fine.  Sadly, the conference is so balanced, they just beat the crap out of each other for 20 games.  Hopefully, each team has something left for the tourney.

Feel like there are three teams that can make runs: Michigan, Michigan State, Maryland.

Had nothing to do with the networks but my own eyes and since I have been watching basketball for over 40 years I know what I see.
