Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 5216014, member: 6927"] I don't think it's all that clear tbh. I can see the committee going either way between Duke or TCU for #8. It'll come down to which data points they choose to focus on. (And I do think both should be ahead of LSU.) Duke does have worse losses than TCU, but Duke also played a much tougher nonconference schedule (#9 vs. #75 NC SOS) and even more importantly scheduled challenging true road games, whereas TCU played none. It's unimpressive when a team just hides out at home and the only traveling they do for the first two months of the season is a Caribbean holiday adventure. Ultimately it's pretty inconsequential which is #8 and which is #9 because either way they should be placed in the same regional. Hopefully they get to settle it on the court in the Sweet 16. [/QUOTE]
