[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 130309336, member: 1488840"] I'm not much on the conference pissing contests that happen on here but I'm going to chime in just this once. Have you noticed that the top ACC teams almost NEVER get placed in the same region? Think about it. When have Duke and UNC been placed in the same region? Every year it seems like the same deal - they (the top 3 or 4 ACC schools) get placed in separate regions with what are essentially home/easy distance games in the first couple of rounds. It's almost like they are placed first then everybody else gets placed to give one or two of them an easier shot at the final four. Look at this year. UVA (Charlotte) in South, UNC (Charlotte) West, and Duke (Pitt) East. Meanwhile, the 2nd and 3rd place B12 teams would HAVE to face each other to get there, without the benefit of knocking off one of the 3 ACC teams (only Kansas would have that chance). Not calling BS or even conspiracy theory, but it always seems this way. If the B12 and ACC were the two toughest leagues this year as most say, doesn't this set-up seem odd? [/QUOTE]
