Man, I love Johnny Dawkins. Hate this for UCF. Today has been a day with no team I wanted to see winning. Plus, I can't stand Mick Cronin and UCLA.

I actually feel relatively calm about tomm. Win and get Pat a few minutes and we're good.

Lol nah didn't say that but some metrics I've seen said they could've been a 15 seed. Regardless, as bleed said we didn't play good and did that to ourselves the first game. Think we definitely got hosed with who our 4/5 seed is.
Duke had the highest rated 16 and 8 seed which makes ZERO sense for the overall 1 seeds first two rounds. I know we play the 9 seed, but I think it’s well documented and has been called out lout and clear that Dukes entire draw is horrible for their season long resume. I legit think i would have rather been the 3rd overall 1.

Committee really go this year wrong.

Favorites went 16-0....For the first time since 1985/86 no team ranked 13-16 advanced to the second round...the effect of NIL/transfers? Or maybe just an anomaly..but there were historically uneven match ups it seemed just looking at the scores

NIL Cinderella is dead (thank God we didn’t lose and keep her alive)

I would call a team seeded 9th, beating the number one overall seed, a Cinderella.
Hmm I’m never thought about it I guess. I just reserve that name for non power coming teams. I mean Kentucky was an 8 seed in 2014 made the title game against a 7 seed- I wouldn’t consider either of them a Cinderella
