Lol, Georgetown's last four tournament losses have been to double-digit seeds. Wouldn't be surprised if they lost here. Most people probably have them in the Elite 8.

[JMT]

GTown clueless vs the matchup zone.

[Maniak]

wouldn't mind if they did. just did a quick scan of my bracket and most people have them going either the same length as me or further from what i saw.

[JMT]

I'm sorry, but a 1-5 tournament record (continuing to make their conference tournament record awful, especially against teams from the "Power 6" conferences) is more than struggling. That's not holding up your end of the bargain for getting favorable seeds due to a high conference RPI.

Hey, where's Kiddlovesnets? Isn't he the one that guaranteed you that UNC wouldn't make the tournament this year?

[Maniak]

who does unc have behind paige at pg?

I think he actually said UNC would "barely" make the tournament, which wsn't true since they comfortably got in. He said Kentucky wouldn't make it, which happened, but obviously only because their best player got hurt.

[Maniak]

man i hate the ticker thing above what im watching on tv because the MMOD is like 20-40 seconds behind. so the score on TV spoils the other game that i'm watching on my computer with MMOD.

life is tough

[KG215]

who does unc have behind paige at pg?

No one. Dexter Strickland is the defacto back-up PG, but he's a senior. I really think Roy Williams thought Kendall Marshall would be here at least one more year. We've got another PG coming next year who, at one point was a low 5-star/high 4-star, but has now slipped big time in the rankings.

And don't look now, but Nova is on a run and has gotten back in the game.

[Maniak]

yeah. unc still has a decent cushion

mcadoo took back to back questionable shots in my opinion. tough to have the momentum shift away from you at the end like that.

marshall should have stayed at least another year but oh well....

[Jailblazers7]

Great tip slam by some white dude on Florida GC. They are looking strong right now.

Not sure if G-Town will lose but I don't think they are a 2 seed type of team. They played a little above their heads during the season and deserved their seed but I don't think they are all that good.

[KG215]

That fast start by UNC was a bit of fool's gold. We hit some tough deep 3's and we were converting their turnovers into points and they weren't converting UNC's into points. Now they're getting in our face on defense and, as we've done all year against teams that play tough physical defense, we're wilting, taking bad shots and turning the ball over. And now Villanova is turning those turnovers into points. Wouldn't surprise me even a little bit if Nova came back and won the game.

[KG215]

Wow....FGCU is scary right now. Playing with a ton of confidence, making deep 3's, and they just have the "look" of a team poised for a big upset.

[KG215]

Yep...UNC may blow a 20 point first half lead and lose. Villanova ha all the momentum and is playing with a ton of confidence right now.

[Burgz V2]

GTown, please pull this out, think of the brackets! for the love of god, the brackets!!!
