I'd be shocked if we're in the same bracket at Carolina. I think we're in the West region as the 4- or 5-seed.
I would think they're sending Duke to Orefons bracket, but I'm not watching live. Would they stick them with UVA or AFAM, I mean UNC?
I don't think they would. Unless Duke has slipped to a 6-seed we're in the West region.
I don't mind the show as much as I mind just giving us the damn brackets. I liked the old days when they released the bracket in 30 minutes and then talked about it and made picks. Now it's a damn two-hour show just to find out where the hell teams are going. That's ridiculous.
Haha, Gottlieb talking about personal shenanigans just made me chuckle a bit. Makes me want to hit him with a stolen laptop or.throw a stolen credit card at him.
You said we were done months ago, you also said we weren't a tourney team. Go away now
You didn't think we'd be a tourney team a month ago, either.
Baylor is super athletic and deep
I also said we would play two games in the ACC tournament when you complained about that..how'd that work for ya??

Like our draw. Baylor is undisciplined. Gottlieb is such a jacka$$
I actually find him entertaining just because he's so awkward. He seems like a good guy, just really nonchalant.
Uh no...said it was a possibility given where we where...also said it was highly doubtful that would happen.
You can go back and pull the quote if you like. That's what it will say..
Throw it at the wall and it will indeed stick once in a while. A broken watch is right twice a day..,. Think about those. You'll figure it out, maybe
Nice job dj. Keep it up and you will be another Gary-7.OFC
That's high praise. Thanks, skysdad!
We can beat Baylor but will have to shoot really well.
They are deep and athletic with athletes inside...foul trouble and only one day to prepare for their zone will be issues.
I'd like our chances much better if we had them as the first game of the week in our region.
We can win but they will have the advantage especially inside our biggest weakness.

I don't have a ton of faith in this Duke team -- and wouldn't be surprised if we lose early at any point in the first weekend. With that said, we frankly couldn't have gotten a better draw IMO. I don't know a ton about UNC-Wilmington, but they really didn't do much in the non-conference that would inspire a lot of fear. While Syracuse gave us troubles, we do generally match up pretty well against zone teams -- which could create major issues for a Baylor team that likes to play zone and IMO is generally pretty poorly coached. Further, of the potential #1s we could have been given, Oregon's not a terrible matchup b/c they too don't have a lot of bulk at the 4 spot. And OU/A&M at the 2/3 is not exactly a murderer's row. Given where we could have been seeded, this is about as good as I could have hoped.
