Take your argument to Bilas, Greenberg and JayWill It’s the “if they don’t this year, they never will” comment. The 2019 team was maybe Painter’s 5th or 6th most talented team and they were less than a second away from the F4. If it doesn’t happen this year, it can and will happen at some point.

5fouls Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 The Conference Tournament Champions of the Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC are all in the same bracket. Virginia getting in over Indiana State is a travesty, Every single metric favors the Sycamores. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I'll have to dive in later but man UConn, Iowa St, Illinois, and Auburn is the toughest. West is a joke....and contrary to our local friend Purdue's region is a very, very easy path unless Kansas is truly healthy. If not the toughest tests are a Tennessee team who has choked more than Illinois in tournament play and a Creighton team that we just don't know about. One day great one day suck. Kentucky a 3 is laughable with Auburn being a 4. Sparty being a 9 is comedy hour but the people who built NET have to justify it somehow. BYU at 6 seems like they were underseeded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForHumanity Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Expect the unexpected in this year's NCAA tourney. I think it will be like no other. The refs are so bad this year I would not put it past them to be part of the show giving games away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I keep forgetting BYU and the Sunday rule thing. That's why they ended up as 6 when they were listed as best 5 seed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NET and analytics were put together by nerds who probably never even learned how to dribble. The internet has allowed losers to become professionals at things that used to be daily life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
