For those so upset about the UNC #1 seed, who do you feel it should have been? Bottom line is that After Duke & UVA, teams 3-7 all had pretty similar arguments, imo. 1/2 seed really makes no difference anyways most of the time, and the only team who got screwed in the end was Sparty.
As Chad has mentioned, UNC has a tougher half of the bracket than us.

UNC fans seem just as excited and braggy about Duke being a 1 seed as they are about their own fraud seeding. That should tell you something about that rivalry.
UNC should be very worried about Auburn. Might catch another 20 point beatdown to an SEC team.

All we have to do is stay sober to be honest
Please, for the love of God, whenever you get the urge to post you should read this out loud while looking in a mirror.
While I admire the rhyme and sentiment young SAE was espousing to end that masterpiece, I fully intend on not staying anywhere close to sober.
* Looking at a Thursday/Saturday setup in the first weekend, followed by Friday/Sunday the second weekend. Only happened that way twice with Calipari at UK: 2011 and 2012. Final Fours, both.
* Seems like every year the smart sportswriters pick Duke and UNC to play each other in the Final Four, although it's never happened. So of course they're all picking it again this year too. Idiots.
* Not only has a team that shoots as poorly from three as Duke never won a national title, but it's never even been to a Final Four. I'm sure I'll pick them to get there, but they'll be bucking history to do so.
* Thursday at tipoff, I'll be at a 10U softball game. Saturday at tipoff, assuming it's an early game, I'll be on a plane somewhere over the Atlantic on the way to Punta Cana. #blessed
* It's scary how much depends on luck in this tournament. One bad break, one bad matchup, one bad night, one bad call, and you're done. Forever.
* It's also scary how much of my emotional well-being is tied up in how a group of adolescents plays a game.

- I like Houston quite a bit. Iowa State can be tough too. Not an easy S16.
- Calipari just doesn’t get beat by big time dogs, yet again here you have idiots like Norlander picking Wofford to beat us.
- We’re going to have to beat Carolina. I just don’t see anyone else doing it for us.
- Wife’s alma mater taking on the Jayhawks. Go Huskies.
- Duke’s the deserving favorite but are they good enough to be the biggest favorite in 4 years? I don’t know.

He's 90-0 at UK against mid-majors in games that matter.
NINETY AND ZERO. No Mercers, Lehighs or Woffords have clipped him.
Incredible.
This is ********, btw. Can't be convinced otherwise. I typically save them for emergencies, but I have all sorts of wodie moves I can utilize at home when we aren't playing well to change the course of the game.
I watched every single game of the 1995 SECT and NCAAT at Ozzie Smith's Sports Bar in St. Louis. Every. Single. One.
EXCEPT for the UNC game, which I watched from my apartment so I could be quick on the trigger of hotel rooms, flights, etc. for Seattle.
To this day, I blame myself for that loss. And no one will convince me otherwise.

No doubt 73s apartment was louder than Birmingham that day.
I think there is a clear separation with the Top 8 Seeds and the rest of the field. Very 2015-ish.
He would if he had the 8 seed.
I've never seen anybody overachieve as a low seed and underachieve as a high seed like Leonard Hamilton throughout his career. Maybe Dale Brown?
Bilas was all chalk in the E8 as well.
Dauster has UNC over UK, and also has UVA and Duke getting to Minneapolis. His only non-chalk pick was Texas Tech.

Matt Norlander is touching idiot who desperately wants to get way too cute with this ****. UK would beat Wofford by double digits even if they played the game in Wofford’s **** box gym with Doug Shows as the lead official and Tyler Herro with one hand tied behind his back.
I'd much rather play Seton Hall than Wofford.
My biggest concern in early round games is overlooking opponents. Seton Hall takes that out of the equation and we skull **** them this time
I pretty much stopped GAF about sportswriter predictions when some of those dickheads were convincing themselves Cornell was going to beat arguably one of the most athletic teams ever on a CBB court because they're smart kids.
I've seen countless mentions of "we've already beaten 3 of the best teams in our bracket", ...I don't see that as a good thing, necessarily -- revenge factor in CBB is real.
That said, you have to beat some people. Let's go do that.
-It seems foolish to count out Michigan/Beilein after his recent consistent success, but I feel they're far and away the most likely top seed to get bounced.
If there's one thing I've learned about the tourney, it's that absolutely nothing that has already happened matters a single bit. **** teams get hot and hot teams get ****. It is a mystifying event.
Main reason I was hoping to avoid Carolina.
Other than the close call at Auburn we beat those teams in a way that really doesn't fit the revenge factor. All 3 were methodical wins.
Agreed. The win against Carolina this year was so much different than the win against Carolina in 2017. A gut-wrenching loss to Kentucky was motivation enough. There was nothing to the win this year - just methodically pulling away to win the game.
That and we only have to play 1 of them. Its not like we have to run a gauntlet of teams we already beat.
The main reason we controlled that game against UNC was Hagans absolutely clowning White. Can he come close to repeating that kind of performance on defense? That's the biggest question in a potential rematch, imo.
