No. 2 seeds placed next: Assigned in true-seed order, with flexibility to move teams slightly to avoid placing the No. 5 seed in the same region as the overall No. 1.

I copy/pasted the provision I’m referring to, it’s right there in black and white under “core placement steps.” Why else would bracketology currently say the 2 seeds are:
East- ISU
Midwest- UConn
South- Houston
West- MSU

It’s because UConn is 5th on the s-curve and can’t be with Duke. Otherwise UConn and ISU would be swapped.

Wisconsin battling Illinois.

No big names this year but they’re a solid team. They can hang with anyone.

Nick Boyd is a stud. I was holding out hope he'd want to come here in the Malachi Smith 6th man role off the bench because he's from the same town as me. But figured he'd have a starting role somewhere.

Did not see a 1st team All Big Ten caliber season coming though. Could make a strong case for 6 or 7 guards to have been 1st team

Bracketology already had ISU as a 2 and Illinois as a 3. I think/hope Illinois is a 3 with their L. Regardless of that, we won’t be in the east if Duke is #1 overall and the only team that I think would jump Duke is Zona due to Dukes HtH win over UM.

Bracketology is Lunard/ESPN country. Did you know the billion dollar SEC deal lands ESPN as the major carrier. This is why Lunardi is pumping SEC teams while Bracket Matrix can show you the consensus of bracketologists.

He has UF as a 1 and Bama as a 3. Both fair and Not really relevant to this convo.

Truly unreal home many good player Dusty pulled into FAU.
 
Iowa State out to a big lead, but Arizona coming back strong now.

I think what I said was that he has all of Hurley's arrogance and none of his likeability. I think that's pretty accurate.
Expand ...
He looks and acts like a little punk, comes across like he could've worked at Stratton Oakmont. Hurley and Cignetti aren't at all bashful but they're funny and interesting. Hurley especially is self-deprecating and open about his struggles which makes him relatable.
 
Arizona just let's Momcilovic walk into a three when he's on fire

Almost was a miracle! Wisconsin was up 7 with 15 seconds left but gave up a three, turned it over on the inbound, gave up a layup, and missed a FT to give Illinois a chance. Wagler almost sent it to 2OT at the buzzer

Nick Boyd had 38. Sheeeeesh

Dang, I turned it off lol
 
UVA crushing Miami, they have the last best shot at beating Duke if Clemson can’t tonight

Edit- Zona wins too

Ole Miss player needed to kick that ahead to Storr, he almost lost them the game missing the front end of the one and one

Bama one of the only teams that could likely give Florida a run.

The Zona finish was wild. Two crazy shots.

I used to think Oats was going to be the next great coach. If Boeheim was the master of the zone defense, Oats is the master of the no defense.

He's the second coming of Paul Westhead.

I just think their team isn’t as good as it’s been the last 3 years. I think he’s a good coach. He definitely emphasizes fast O though, there’s no question.

He kinda is - and no rebounding. He's gone so far analytics, he thinks by chucking up enough threes or layups fast enough, the math will be on his side. It's a very mechanical, substance lacking system. It requires elite shooters. It's a one gear type of system.
 
All the BIG games today were on the BIG10 network which I don’t get. I wonder if those fans were freaking out like they do around here about peacock.
