The ACC is not anywhere as bad as the numbers say, same as last year, in my opinion. They suck but they are still a league deserving of atleast 4 tourney teams. Or I guess I could say they are *** but not as *** as people said.
It's actually worse than what everyone has been saying.
They had, I believe 1 ranked on ranked matchup the entire conference season… .all teams combined.
Yeah, the ACC was a complete dumpster fire this year, but, uNC is hot right now and they have a nice path here, so it wouldn't surprise me to see them go on a run.

You guys know how this works out. Last team in goes on a majestic run, at least makes the sweet 16.

And if we wish badly on them, we get hit with the wrath of the basketball Gods.

Just worry about what we're doing...... :)
Last team into the actual tournament will be Texas.
UNC goes out in their first game, I ain't changing my brackets.

If Ole Miss doesn’t beat them i have a feeling UNC goes to the Elite 8.

The only time to ever root for the Cheats is when they Duke. So I want be rooting for them but I picked them to make the Sweet 16 in my bracket. ACC sux and their resume was dubious .. that said they have been playing better and the Withers guy seems to have made great strides.

Beard is a good coach but his team is schizophrenic. Who knows which one will show up? May be the only game I check in on other than the Cats

Ummm

UNC is capable of a 3 game run here.. Hate to say..
Ole Miss doesn't scare anyone away from their own gym.

Iowa State lost their best player.

Mich State barely beat UNC back around Thanksgiving time.

🤷 Be ready just in case..

Zero faith in Ole Piss . UNC is playing well. Had Duke beat just last week . Will kick Ole Miss *** .
Without Cooper Flagg, Duke is a shell of themselves, because Scheyer made him the focal point of everything they do.

Feels like the annual Ole Miss gag job away from Oxford. These guys are seeking stupidity. Dan Bonner just said it perfectly "Clearly a foul-no idea why Barnes was trying to overpower Cadeau-he's got the advantage"--that's Ole Miss and SEC Basketball. Stupidity at the most WTF time in a game.

There's never a lead Chris Beard teams can't piss away. He is in the class where people remember the run and not the finish back in '19--he single handedly coached like a D'head and blew a National Championship.

Want the Rebs to win but have 0 faith.

Looks like UNC might pull this out. Idiot sec teams play like the golden state warriors against us and always lose early in the NCAA. Smh

Does it feel Safe F2M? My rule on betting against the Mississippi Schools is two tiered.

1. Mississippi State lives to "Pearl Harbor" games. I even described the game to my co-workers for their Pool picks-they'll come out flat and look disinterested in the NCAA tournament---then make 3 plays that make you think they should be a top 10 team....then fall behind and you think they are dead--only to be down 1 possession with around a minute-and you know they have 0 chance to not just win-but also get the game to OT. They are built to be an NIT Final Four team every year--or now a regular in "The Crown" where they'd be more fired up to get NIL $ and run through hookers than compete and advance in the NCAA's. Josh Hubbard also loves to turn down big shots when needed--defers and that Matthews guy kept the tradition of "Is he Point shaving??" alive in Stark Vegas.

2. Ole Miss on the other hand will play with a lead for 35 mins and somehow they are defending their own basket to hopefully get the win or at least to OT. They play dumb with a lead-constantly foul and then worry about running clock around 13 min mark. They are a front runner who can't handle being in front. Chaos ensues and their fans can't figure out why nobody respects them at all.

Ole Miss tried to lose but fortunately UNC finally at the end decided not to help them. The SEC is looking a big shabby with Vandy, A and M, Missouri, Miss State, and Georgia all losing their first games.

The Rebels did it! I gladly take my Pool loss to see them win--that being said, I will never apologize for the Mississippi Formula in picking the Brackets. Even when the game was "over"--Murrell and Davis gag up bricks--I mean you have to be kidding me? Make the F'ing FTS!!!

nothing will be worse than 2000, when unc got in at 18-13, and went to the ff. it’s crap like this that builds the narrative. only nowadays. with instant info, a lot more people have been remarking on bubba’s ********.

A&M won comfortably. (to my dismay but I could see them beating Michigan tomorrow in the first 5 hr CBB game that doesn't have a single Overtime)

I consider Vandy, Miss St, UGA, Texas to be the "scumball team" part of the Conference. No offense to Germantown who is a great poster and visits here often. Throw in OU and Ole Miss and it's complete.

A and m loss? Who is michigan playing tomorrow then?

Looks like sec will have 7 of its top 8 in round of 32 by nights end. Doesn't seem too shabby to me.

You nailed it.
