Was UConn the 4th 1 seed? How could Duke have jumped us? Also we were awarded #2 Purdue while Duke gets #2 Nebraska. Coulda guessed that!

I believe it was 1. Arizona 2. Michigan 3. Us 4. Duke.

The 2-seeds are more complex because you have to factor in conference matchups and competitive balance (i.e. can’t have number 1 and number 5 on the S-curve in the same region). You can actually reverse engineer the S-curve for someone like Lunardi based on matchups and first weekend sites, since those are also allotted by S-curve.

Right I had that In mind. I would think Gonzaga or Nebraska would be 8th in the S curve so Zona got the Zags. Then UM has to get ISU which is a tough break for them but we should get Nebraska which leaves Duke with Purdue. it’s just funny lunardi already doing Duke favors, willing it into existence on behalf of espn.

Darryn Peterson's scoring is effortless, looks like KU is figuring out how to play with him now

Feels like Peterson could score a basket every trip down the floor if he wanted to, he's making this look easy

This is worse than the Gleaguers

I remember Puff Johnson when he played at UNC. This must be a troll account. I just know this can't be real. I know this can't be true, it can't be. Can it?

Peterson looks like an NBA all star out there. If you wanted a big longshot bet to win the NCAA Kansas is a choice at 30-1

Him and Bidunga were 23-27 from the floor. That is nuts. If they do figure out how to play with him, KU will check up the rankings fast.
