Florida has been my pick to win the championship all season. Would still rather face them than the Johnnies.

I live in Raleigh !!
I think you need to beat some good teams to win the the thing. Eventually. All I am saying is I think they are not thrilled a team with our pedigree and high ceiling is not the preferred 8!seed. But if you want to call it a seadon so be it.

It should have been 12. But it’s not hard to see that Bama is the worst 2 seed, not the best.
Fishing for positivity I see, well how about we beat OU first.

They should be in the play in game in place of Texas who shouldn’t be in at all.

Positivity is the only way. If you don’t believe you have no shot. And yes we can look ahead at other possible games. It will have no affect on our game against OK. That’s the fun in the bracket. Lighten up. No one believes anyway. No pressure

That's what happens when you're at the top of the food chain in realignment - you get every team, lose none, have an overload of teams that play each other, and the mid-to-lower teams get the benefit of strength of schedule thanks to the top powerhouses despite losing records within their megaconference.
Texas was 6-12 in the SEC and 19-15 overall. Tied with OU for 13th place. And they're in.
This is the world we live in now.

Shutting down anyone has been a problem all year long.

I really haven't had a pick but for a little more than a month I've viewed Florida on its A game as the best that I've seen this season. I believe that in the environment the big dance offers we can beat St John's, but I believe we could also lose to a team that wouldn't stand a chance against most good teams.
One game at a time. Florida will have to find a way to prepare for both us and Oklahoma (while also spending ten minutes preparing for Norfolk). This is the hand we've been dealt, let's play it to the best of our ability.
Who cares! Go play basketball and root for them to do well! It’s another opportunity to do something special and we should be excited about it.

We got 5 out of 11 teams, the sky is not falling. We deserved 5 out of 11. The power schools have 16-18 teams and should get more in. We sent more than the ACC 4 of 18 so why are we complaining. We need to do better in early OOC games as two years in a row the committee has shown favor to those teams that do well in those games.

Over on ESPN the guys talked about how ridiculous it is that UNC got in (this time, at the expense of WVU), and then they turned to Jay Bilas.
"We've spent too much time talking about the 35th best team. Let's move on."
I like Bilas, but man he bleeds ACC always.

After watching a bunch of conference championship games, I thought the Gators looked like the best heading into the NCAA tournament and a problematc matchup for UConn, if we get past Oklahoma. They have the quickness, length and athleticism to give us fits. They can flat out play and I fear they'll completely overwhelm us on both ends of the floor.
If by some miracle we do get past them, we'd likeky face SJU, with their relentless style of play, which is our Kryptonite. IMO, it's the worst case scenario. I was hoping we would be put in Dook's region.
Well we dug our own hole so we'll just have to dig out of it.

They wouldn’t play TT until the sweet 16.

Florida has one of the best offenses in the SEC.

Then don’t. Me on the other hand, I’m already possibly looking past Florida. If we’re going to lose to OU we’re going to lose. There is nothing you or I can do to change that.
