boyst Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Well, shirely, we can't put this in the Syracuse thread. Seems, they're not going Dancing this Spring. Good thing, too. It'd be awful if they had to go to Greensboro! http://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/basketball-men/d1 Amazing to see UNC a #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm amazed that Wichita State is a 10 your team Ichigan only getting a 7 was a shock to me, as well. you'd think the b10 would get a little respect. wisconsin (8) and MSU (9) might make the 7 justified.

RaoulDuke79 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Great time of year to blow some $. Off Thursday and Friday. Painting the kitchen Thursday, celebrating the banishing of the snakes and ncaa tournament Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not that surprised at Michigan getting a 7. They were inconsistent the first half of the season, and had a poor road record. They got hot at the right time. I believe they won 10 of their last 12 games. I don't know how far they can go, but they can make some noise. Overall the Big 10 did not get much love. Both Wisconsin & Northwestern are 8's, and that's after Wisconsin trounced them yesterday. Purdue was the top team in the conference, and the highest seed they got was a 4.

YoloinOhio Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I thought the B1G was down this year as compared to the last couple. I probably won't pick any past the sweet 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Yeah, amazing that the team who won the best league in the country by two games got a #1. It's only been predicted for two weeks. AP rankings mean stojan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Minnesota has a chance at being the top seed in the Big 10 tournament.....it is definitely a down year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cereal Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 My Hokies got the 9-seed in the East, and the late game in Buffalo on Thursday, versus Wisconsin. Our first NCAA Tournament since 2007, before I was even a student there! Already got tickets with a buddy of mine here in Rochester who is a Wisconsin grad, can't wait!

AP rankings mean stojan.I am always fascinated how they value regular seasons over tournaments. They're seeding a tournament, not a season. That UNC lost in quarters shows a lot of weakness. Not saying they suddenly suck but one seems high. Especially when duke won it and got a 2nd. I think both of those seeds may be a little off.

shrader Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm doing one of these for the first time in about 10 years. It's charity, so why not. Since I actually put money down, I guess I can't be like the last one I did and pick New Mexico State to win the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I look at it is most of them lost to OSU at some point this year so they must not be very good. My "barometer of suck." I suffered through every one of their crap games and all I got from it is a lack of appreciation for B1G Bball as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just Ohio State though. Iowa and Indiana were awful. Michigan State was above average. Michigan and Wisconsin were alright and they both got hot at the right time. I agree with you, I don't think any of these teams can get past the Sweet 16. Having said all of that, congratulations to Northwestern for making it to the dance for the first time.

I'm going to root for northwestern I guess. As a bills fan I can appreciate the drought being lifted!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The Big East has 10 teams, and 7 are in The Dance. Hope for a good showing. It was great to see 'Nova take it all last year after getting bounced early in the years before that. Get hot in March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lost in the semis, not quarters. Many coaches believe the regular season is more important than the conference tournament, which is why you always read stories of how unfair it is in the smaller conferences that a team can go 15-1 or something in their conference, then have one bad day in their conference tourney and they don't get an NCAA bid because only the tournament champion is rewarded. I see the arguments both ways, but I lean towards valuing the entire regular season more than a 3-4 day tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
