Only 2 things I dislike about our bracket…we have to possibly play UK to get to elite 8 (we don’t match up well with them for some reason), and we have to play Thursday instead of getting one more day of rest.

UK is pretty banged up. Robinson, who wrecked us in the first game, is done. Butler can’t stay healthy. Carr has back problems.

Gonna have to roll out a bunch of freshman white guys at point. They’ll have 47 turnovers against ZZ.

Not concerned about UK at this point.

The other seven teams in Lexington are:
Auburn
Alabama State/St Francis play-in winner
Louisville
Creighton
Wofford
UCLA
Utah State

We will have the second highest turnout next to Louisville. And they will be in the morning session while Vols are in evening one.

Shoot, Louisville fans will probably be cheering for us too. We can knock out UK in the S16 better than the other options.

What's the difference between expecting and thinking we'll win?

Thinking is more like going into the game against Auburn I thought the basketball team could win it.

Going into the series with Florida I expected Vols to win it...and was thinking we'd get the sweep.

May not be a lot of them that buy tickets for both the morning and evening sessions on Thursday but, in the second round two game session on Saturday, the Louisville fans might root for us over a west coast team.

Same. I never wanted to be seen playing golf.
















Not that I was embarrassed to be playing golf, I just didn’t want anyone to know how bad at it I was.

I normally do 3. One I think will happen, mandatory Tennessee wins bracket, and random upset bracket

Not sure what a 15T is, but giving it a like since it must be good enough for you to mention.

15 trillion. Maybe he should help with some NIL.

WVU Assistant Sheds Light on North Carolina AD's NCAA Tournament Incentive

Somehow, West Virginia was left out of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday night, and there has not been an explanation given that has made sense as to why. Committee

Not a good look at all. I was curious about the excuse for the injury.

When people start discussing committee decisions, this is why some have no faith in them. The committees are made up of AD's or people tied to the very schools they are associated with. Just the mere fact that Cunningham is the AD at UNC can influence what the rest of the committee decides. It's simply about ratings and the almighty dollar, and we continue to lose integrity in sports.

I agree the officiating was awful, but they also called some on Florida that could be debated too. I don’t think the fix was in, we have to play at a top level to beat Florida in every aspect & we simply didn’t.

We didn’t hit enough 3s & we didn’t rebound well enough (especially our bigs).

Now the tight whistle, definitely played a part in some of that especially rebounding.

The game we beat them, we held them under 25% FG & 15% 3PT and out rebounded them, that didn’t happen today.

Not a “fix” imo, a tight whistle from an inconsistent SEC crew & it impacted both teams.

One difference is them (and everyone else) holding our guys when they're moving without the ball. We run more off-ball motion than most of our opponents and as Coach has said, the refs refusal to enforce freedom of movement rules is a huge impediment to our offensive effectiveness. It another reason we seem to do better when the drive and dish (because we're not dependent on the motion to get us good looks). So when the refs decide (like Sunday) to start calling various forms of contact a lot more (and you're right it was highly random) than normal, but they don't call the holding and grabbing more frequently as well; then we find ourselves at a distinct disadvantage. Especially with our limited depth. If they had increased the holding/grabbing calls as well then UF would have had a few foul out as well and we'd have shot more foul shots. No ideas if we would have won, but it would have been a tight game.

Can’t wait till Duke loses in round 2 and we can all point and laugh at the media.

Doesn’t Dook have the easiest bracket? And AuBarn perhaps the toughest? Wouldn’t that make Dook the de facto 1 seed?
