I don't get how the committee thinks UNC is the best 2 seed when they can't even be competative against UVA

I'm with ya. There are always some head scratchers, but some of the decisions this year are completely indefensible. Guess sponsors and advertisers were hell bent on seeing Trae Young in the tourney, because there is no reason OU gets in over ND under any criteria.

It is what it is. Time to make a push for #6. Go Duke!!!

So experts say Mich St win it all....beating Duke, Kansas, Villanova and then Virginia to win it all...I'd find that hard to believe and take the under on them running that table all day. ESPN folks took 3 B10 teams to the elite 8 too....so either the B10 was undervalued or they are top heavy since they only got 4 into the tournament. SEC with 8 in is too many and 9 from ACC i think it too. Give some outside mid majors a shot...ST Mary's, Middle tennesee, Harvard

I know most dont share any affection for Dakich but he was pretty clear on his amazement at the craziness of these selections. I share his opinion.

For the first time I agree with Dakich Davidson is a tough game for Kentucky. I'm not even going to look at playing MSU yet they have two chances to lose and so do we. But if we play that game we spanking that azz.

I like our side actually. Koach has mind control over Izzo. And Kansas doesn't scare me at all. We may get every rebound in that game. They have no big men outside of Udoka. We have him running so much on defense that he'll be too tired to jump for rebounds. I'm not too worried at all in our region.

What’s funny is we are worried about Michigan State, but I bet u Michigan State fans are even MORE worried about playing Duke! Hope Izzo starts having nightmares tonight about playing Duke. Lol

I don't know how people on here can be worried about Michigan State. I'm trying to figure out what Michigan State has showed that would worry us

Any word on Dok (Kansas center)? They obviously didn't need him in the Big 12 tournament but they will need him in this bracket!

Syracuse is lucky to be in. I never thought the Irish had a shot. They needed to beat us. Our draw is tough, but first 2 games we should roll.

We are 7-0 against them since 2010....but even a blind squirrel can find an acorn...just takes one game

I just can't see it. Unless Gary Harris will suit up with this team for that game I just don't see it. I know for a fact we are better than them. They usually win because of rebounding...we just so happen to be a better rebounding team. They don't have great shooters either. We're going to beat them no doubt. They always find a way to lose to us

On the Selection Show they had the head of the Selection Committee and they asked him what kept Notre Dame from getting in and he said it was Davidson winning their conference tournament. If Davidson hadn’t won their conference tournament then Notre Dame would’ve gotten in.

Remove the borderline and you're 100% accurate.
K chose these kids, has given the starters the majority of the minutes. He's tried to prepare his starters for this time of the year.
The embarrassing part will be on him, as it should. If so, we will go into another season with a bunch of unproven studs coming in with a bench that isn't prepared.
If it works out, and I think a final 4 will be needed, he shows even more his uncanny ability to adapt, further solidifying his title as the greatest.
