Still lost to a 15, which we’ve never done 😂

It isn't something we are proud of, but it is obvious that St Peters were underseeded.

Kentucky was never the same after TyTy and Sahvir came back from their injuries. They experienced digression and became far too dependent on Oscar.

A 15 seed that has as many Elite 8 appearances as the Vols.

I don’t know why we have so much trouble. No problem beating y’all. Then again it’s been a good few years since Kentucky’s made it very far so perhaps that isn’t good practice.

Am I the only one that’s noticed the hypocrisy of the commentators making light of Edment’s appearance? I’d guess 50% of the players have a mustache yet they harp on Edment’s and his hair is in the top 20% of tame. Do you ever hear them going on and on about some of the black player’s hair styles of which several have some pretty unconventional doos (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Never heard a mention ever about the unicorn look of the lsu guy? Strikes me as a clear double standard and why are they talking about someone’s hair in an athletic event anyway?

Thank goodness it was a mere digression, as a regression would’ve been insurmountable.

Unless Duke can't spit in the ocean, there's no chance the refs will allow hillbillies from Arky to ruin the Coach K farewell tour.

Although it would be entertaining to watch Musslehead running around the court celebrating “I’m the coach that sent coach K into retirement with a L”

That’s what everyone said about the Texas Tech game as well, but that was probably the most most well officiated game that I’ve seen all season.

I think they score refs after each round and only the best move on. It’s like their own tournament.

So theoretically you are supposed to have the top refs as we get deeper into the tournament

Everyone said y’all would’ve been a 1 seed had you won the SECT. All I’m hearing is excuses.

Screw that I hope Arky beats Duke, because F coach K and his swan song retirement

I wanted him out in the first round. He would've lost the final game in that schiithole they call home, lost in the ACC tournament, and been bounced by a 15 seed in the NCAA's. Perfect ending, and bye bye.

A guess St Peters is not a blue blood. They have made this Tournament exciting. I love it.

The ratings are enhanced by two things. Advancing the highly followed blue bloods and creating story lines. The Cinderellas are always story lines which increase ratings which puts more money in the NCAA’s bank. Ratings = cash. Bottom line is always the money and since the NCAAT was cancelled 2 years ago, the NCAA is desperate for revenue.

And while last year’s tournament included Elite 8 matchups like Arkansas-Baylor and Oregon State-Houston that would seem to make a mockery of this theory, that actually was just the NCAA switching things up for funzies.

Not that I buy into the rigged committee conspiracies either way, but UNC’s AD is literally on the committee so the above seems pretty dubious

You know it’s rigged for Duke . They only sent Duke out West, where K has exactly 0 wins ever going into final year of coaching, plus a potential rematch with the Tournament’s #1 overall seed. Definitely rigged .
