Selection Sunday thread

Duke gets the play-in winner. They sure earned that

 

Except VaTech didn't have a home-and-home with any of the other NCAA tournament teams in the conference, going 3-3 in games against Duke, Maryland, Wake, GaTech, Clemson and Florida State. It was a weak 10-6, much like Providence posted a weak 10-8 a year ago in the Big East.

 

Is there going to be nine Big East teams? Marquette could draw West Virginia in the Sweet 16. Thought that couldn't happen?

 

8 Big East.

 

ODU at 11 is a little low, but Notre Dame is a good matchup

 

Rule is dropped if there's nine teams from the same conference (as well as the rule that three conference teams can't be in the same region)

 

No. 1 Duke, No. 2 Villanova, No. 3. Baylor, No. 4 Purdue, No. 5 Texas A&M ... how am I going to pick against Duke? Just doesn't seem like an obvious team to knock off the Blue Devils there.

 

Oh, man. The Greenberg implosion is gonna be classic.

 

Malcolm Delaney's Twitter feed just went private...wonder why.

 

Just looked at the bracket, and my first thought was that the Blue Devils had the easiest path of any No. 1.

 

Dammit.

I was all set to pick Duke, figuring I'd be the only one.
