NYRaider Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 11 minutes ago, beekay414 said: Based on Lunardi's current bracket, my Final Four would be... (MW1) Kansas vs (W4) Xavier (S1) Alabama vs (E1) Houston Would be a pretty boring result but hard to project the strength of the matchups right now. I think Kansas is a lock. The West is going to be chaotic if that's the bracket and Xavier, even with no Freemantle, has the firepower to come out of it. Alabama is the clear cut best team in the South region since I do not believe in Purdue's guard play whatsover and K-State is the 3 seed. Houston comes out of the strongest bracket IMO. The East should provide the most fun matchups based on how Lunardi has them right now (Illinois-Arkansas, Saint Mary's-Oral Roberts, Duke-Rutgers, Tennessee will lose to Louisiana, Iowa-Pittsburgh would be a barnburner).

agarcia34 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Would be funny if this years Gonzaga team wins it with the least talented team they had in the past couple years. They’re playing pretty well heading into the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) I'd really much rather go back to RPI being a main factor in bids over quadrant wins. Just heavily favors power conference teams over mid-majors and it's totally boring. I'd 100% rather see a 25+ win mid-major over a barely over .500 B1G or Big 12 team just because they got the opportunities that the little guys didn't. I want more shots at Cinderellas, not less. The fact that it took until a first round conference tournament loss for a team that was 17-13 to be eliminated from an at-large bid is just comical. I'd much rather see both North Texas and Florida Atlantic in the tournament than someone like friggin' Oklahoma State. Feel like, if you're going to slant these things so blatantly toward bigger schools, there needs to be a qualifier that you cannot go under .500 in your conference and get an at-large bid.

TitanSlim Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 So Duke is now 16-1 with their full healthy roster with the one loss being the controversial UVA loss. As good an in season progression as I’ve ever seen from a Duke team. Don’t even care if we win the ACC tournament at this point. Just want us to carry our current play into the Big Dance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted March 10, 2023 Author Share Posted March 10, 2023 Hubert Davis ain't it. There's no movement on offense. It's literally just set a pick and hope the guard can turn the corner. Everyone is just standing around. This is why you don't just "keep it in the Carolina family." The Carolina family sucks right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
