Let's hope we get a 6 seed in the NCAAs

We interrupt this loony tunes thread to bring you the following:

Shizzle is insane.



ThankYou for your understanding and you may now continue responding .

Wrong. I'm afraid of certain seed lines and certain teams. I feel very confident that we would beat the likes of Duke, the MW teams, the other ACC teams, Wisconsin, Purdue, Auburn. I do not want to see Kentucky, Baylor, Tennessee, or Illinois. Also want to avoid Creighton and Nova. There are about 8-10 teams I don't want to see. If the bracket falls the right way, we may not see any of them. The tournament does not crown the best team; it crowns the top 68 team that gets hot and gets the right matchups.

We were not the best team in the country in 2011 or 2014. We just got hot and avoided teams we would have struggled with (Virginia and Louisville in 14 for instance).

Except for the fact you have zero clue ( like everyone else in this world) about what teams will be on what seed lines in what regions , your post would be coherent.

Scractch that. even then it wouldn’t.

If we end up in Buffalo, will you help find Spartacus so we can all take a shot at him?

I’m wondering how this guy hasn’t won the Buffett challenge once or twice already if he’s so clairvoyant??? He actually knows which teams we will beat and which we will lose to?? With that kind of knowledge you would think he’d be filthy rich.

 

[uconngb]

My fear is that we are going to get one of the play-in winners.

So just picking one idiots bracket, Lunardi, you would be more worried playing one of Wake/Wyoming/Indiana vs one of Notre Dame/Michigan/Davidson/Rutgers.

Please explain

This is a truly dumb take on a night full of dumb takes after a loss

 

[crazyUCfan23]

I think we'll be a 5 seed - feel like we will probably get a mid-major that we should be able to dominate down low and on the boards - 6 seed would most likely give us the winner of a play in game from a major conference - again its matchup that will determine how far we can go, not seed

 

[August_West]

You don’t want to find him.

 

[Hi-Low]

Don't see how we're not a 5 seed at worst so the bracket will be what it will be. Most at large teams can beat each other so it's about matchups, intensity, efficiency and luck.

In 2014, LVille yes. Not afraid of Virginia. In 2011, Duke wasn’t beating UConn either

 

[JB75]

We re not getting a 6, we re pretty much locked into a 5 (prolly be the strongest 5). Slight chance we are the weakest 4- if everything breaks right

 

[giddyup]

The team has come a long way. They just don’t quite have the horse power to play at a sustained championship level. If we get to the Sweet 16, it’s a job well done.

 

[AllAbout5]

Shouldn’t be afraid to play anybody.

Agreed. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best

 

[Matt1010]

We're just about locked in as a 5. Now hoping for a weaker 12/4 in our quad and anyone but Zaga as the #1 seed.

Wait, did you just put in a series of posts that you are confident we beat Duke but afraid we lose to a play in winner?

90% of this board doesn’t believe that and thinks if we get hot it’s 2011 or 2014.

Yeah, his arguments don't make much sense. Let's just get the best seed we can and go from there. Don't even know who the play-in teams are and he's afraid we lose to one of them? But more confident we beat an 11 seed that he also doesn't know who it will be. That's some pretty sound logic there.

Yes. Duke is extremely overrated and don’t have anyone to handle Sanogo. Play-in winners tend to do well in the field.

 

[Brochacho]

There's only one scenario that I'm actively rooting for and that's to be in a 4/5 with Houston. I just think Houston is solidly a 5 too - not sure if winning vs Tulane and then either SMU or Memphis can make them a 4.

It really is amazing how infrequently your posts have any connection to actual reality.

I particularly like how you attach all these percentages and probabilities to things you have completely made up.

Except I’m right. EVERY year except for 19 a play-in team won their first round game in an upset, two of them went to the Final Four and an additional two went to the Sweet 16.

 

[F101Voodoo]

If that’s your case then you should want the 5 seed because the 1 won’t be there. You have NO idea which seeds are gonna win or lose. Give me the best seed we can get every time. You eventually have to beat everyone in front of you if you’re gonna win.

There you go again talking logic and being rational. How dare you. LOL

It was the “Duke doesn’t have anyone to handle Sanogo” part.

Also, you should learn how sample sizes work.

 

[CTBasketball]

Sure.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Play-in winners are more dangerous than your average 12 seed.

They are not more dangerous than Duke.

 

[Kolumbo]

Root for the best seed possible even though 12-5 is a tough nut.

I think we can agree however that the 4 seed in the BET would have been grand.

11 years is a solid sample size. Who can guard Sanogo? Don’t give me Banchero. He definitely cannot.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

And what? This isn’t math we’re talking about, it’s sports. I have no idea what will happen and neither do you but I do know that we’re gonna have a better seed than we did one of those seasons.

 

[Vuce]

Yes. Duke is extremely overrated and don’t have anyone to handle Sanogo. Play-in winners tend to do well in the field.

1 and 2 seeds also tend to do well in the field.

 

[navery12]

Do you even watch Duke? Their starting center is Mark Williams who's 7'0 242 and averages 11 and 8 with almost 3 blocks a game
