Well, the way that Arkansas is man-handling Vandy, I'm glad we'll be considered before the final game tomorrow.
I thought Seth Davis just talked to the Committee chair a few minutes ago and said the other 2 teams (aside from Carolina, Kansas, Gonzaga and Nova) being considered are Duke and the winner of Arizona/Oregon?
If a 14th ranked, 5th in the conference, 8 loss team gets the 1 seed, then there should be a boycott. Or an investigation.
If duke is being considered their needs to be a boycott
Whoever says anything optimistic or positive about U.K. Is brilliant.
If Duke gets a 1 seed we'll have confirmation of bias. You cannot finish the regular season (the body of work) 5th in your conference and be a 1 seed. I don't care if you win your conference tourney by an average of 30 points.
Lunardi said the same just now and added if that thier name wasn't Duke we wouldn't be having this conversation.
It's ridiculous.

But they've already said they're not counting anything that happened while K was out. So you're left with a 5 loss team that has around 13 top 50 wins. Right or wrong, I don't really care - I care about how it might impact UK. And since I'd rather play Duke than UNC, assuming we get the 2 either way, I'm good....
I seriously believe they mold all the brackets around what dukes seed is. They always seed them higher than they deserve, but if there is no way they can give them a 1 they'll dump all the midmajors in their bracket and put all the other good teams in the opposite bracket
In other news, ESPN is looking for a new bracketologist. Lunardi just got fired.
Seriously?
Vandy has 15 losses and was playing their 3rd game in three days compared to the Hogs two in two.
UK smashed the Hogs earlier by 20 with Monk a non factor and they will do it again tomorrow.
Likely only two realistically up for grabs...UNC and Oregon. I would think that Villanova's and Gonzaga's seeds are ones and secure. I think we have overtaken UNC for a one seed just because of the two losses--one an egregious loss to UVA--and our not losing for a while. We have to merit serious consideration since the whole world now ought to recognize that Cal has been right all along, that the SEC is tougher than previously thought. We have some warts, and I don't think Cal was very pleased today even though we won, but who else deserves a one over us for the last two available spots? My heart and the data says Kentucky has played itself onto the one line; my gut and my head says we'll get screwed...it's happened before and it'll likely happen again. There exists a bias against the SEC in basketball--it's a football conference, and in basketball, if you are not named Kentucky, you're not really very good. I think we've been witness to the contrary, even though media--especially that of the east coast--wouldn't admit it. This is getting very interesting...
Joe Lunardi better be careful.He seems to think it's crazy that Duke is being talked about as a number 1 seed.ESPN going to fire him.
I really hope the 1 seeds are:
East - Nova
South - Gonzaga
Midwest - Kansas
West - Oregon
With UK in the south or west as the 2

He ain't needing to guess as it is common sense . It is KU , Oregon,UK , Nova, Gonzaga and UNC . Anyone else is on the 2 line or worse. I think if Oregon wins tonight it is theirs . WHich is fine as a 1 seed and a 2 seed are basically the same thing . Hell it could be better as you end up playing a 10 seed possibly and not an 8/9 if things fall right.
Uh Gonzaga as the 1 in the west is a stone cold lock. If Oregon gets the 1 seed it will be in the Midwest with Ku in the south and Nova in the east.
Palm is an *** but again with this it is just common sense. UK has one of the elite resumes . Only KU , nova and gonzaga have truly better ones .
they wouldn't do that to duke or unc. no way they play each other. no way they are in the hardest regions either.
This has to be the six, if this is really insider information, meaning Duke and Arizona are not in consideration. I think only Nova and KU are locks. If Arizone beats Oregon tonight, it's UNC, Gonzaga, and us for the final two spots.
