Bracketology 2/13

[Phil]

Remember that ND doesn't have to be the 4th #1 seed to get Duke because geography rules the day. It is one practical reason to give Stanford a #2. If Stanford gets a #1 seed they pretty much automatically get to play the weakest #2 seed because of geography. If Stanford is a #2 they still get to stay in the West and get the weakest #1 seed in their bracket. That's the joys of being the only Final Four contender west of the central time zone.

Very interesting analysis.

People have made some great comments about the brackets. I am writing this after TN wrecked KY......What if Uconn beats ND 2 times, or ND beats them 2 times?
What about the league tournaments?
A lot could happen yet, but the "Bracketology" does make the speculation interesting.

I think the only thing we can rely on at this time is that the top 4 teams go where Charlie has them placed. If a team is really good enough to win their bracket what difference does it make if they are seeded #3, 4, 5...?

Sooooooooooooooooooo.... who are the #2 Seeds right now?

Still hoping that UNC continues its free fall and fails to make the tourney. It would be great for Duke to play its games in Chapel Hell for the opening rounds

I havent stepped foot in Chapel Hell in about 20 years, but I would probably make the journey down their for that great event

LOL

Oh come on- it's one thing to hate UNC, but Chapel Hill is a really fine college town.

Thats what Ive heard... Ive been there a few times in my youthful years... and it seemed charming and quaint enough..... but.... as Ive grown older and wiser... the sight of sissy blue makes my stomach queasy and my blood pressure rise.... so Im not sure i could handle that trip now.

Its a shame.... ive read of a few cool restaurants there, that I wanna check out.... maybe one of these days.....
