Seriously, how does the #2 seed out of the SEC draw the ACC Tourney Champ?

[SNAFU]

This isn't basketball.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

This isn't basketball.

Duke was ACC 9 seed.

 

[volman128]

If we're being honest, Duke could've easily been a regional 3-seed.

 

[Bigun]

I'm more questioning how a 3 seed draws 3 teams in the top 36 RPI but my biggest gripe is our 4 seed draw. 11 seed ODU draws 16-32 Jacksonville.

I think it's a sign of committee disrespect for the ACC tournament champ to send them into a regional with the overall #3 seed. The committee is saying they aren't impressed with the tourney win, given the level of competition and Duke's losing regular season league record.

to be the best you have to play and beat the best

 

[golfballs]

They factor in travel distance, no?

That's a reasonable thought.

 

[youcancallmeAl]

That's a reasonable thought.

I have one every now and then.

 

[LivinginthePast]

It’s crazy. We did not get rewarded for finishing a great season. We were beat last year by Wright state I believe. Crazy draw. Say what you want but it’s horse **** the way this regional got set up for us. Oh well. Hope we come out hot.

 

[Boca Vol]

If you're upset over drawing Wright St., Liberty, & Duke you truly have BVS!

 

[Y9 Vol]

Well, at least the faithful do not have Birmingham to blame.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

To be the man, you gotta beat the man.....

They did their job last week- got Bama in.

 

[Y9 Vol]

They did their job last week- got Bama in.

I stand corrected.

 

[Boca Vol]

Dallas Baptist making it always cracks me up. They've been in the tourney a ton.

Without that stinking homer call, Bama wins nothing at Hoover and doesn't get in. What a bummer they got in and someone deserving didn't.

 

[slobberknocker]

What fun would VN be without the bitching/moaning/wringing of hands/gnashing of teeth?

 

[LA vol7]

Tennessee should win it, just hope we don’t get LSU in Super in Maneri’s last season!

...bring me Mike the Tiger on a pike!

 

[fryeguy93]

It's all regional. But it is telling that Wright State went south instead of north to South Bend who draw two horrible teams from Michigan and UCONN

 

[TNnative]

I don't know. Maybe they have better crayons than we do.

 

[wmcovol]

Some of us bitch about everything.

If AM wasn’t so arrogant they’d focus on Heefner instead of trying to poach sitting P5 coaches who have just as good of situations. Schlossnagle may make me eat my words if he goes there but I don’t see the allure of leaving TCU for AM.

How about Coastal Carolina winning the whole thing in 2016?
