But by seed, the committee thinks we're the weakest 2.

They put up the final S curve during the selection show. Houston was #5, we were #6, ISU #7, and Purdue #8

Way to start the tourney with a poll asking which round we’re going to lose in and people handwringing about playing 15 seed Furman.

Great work, folks.

Exactly. I hope this does not spill over to the team (I doubt it). But we better not come out playing NOT to lose. Come out with energy and a confident attitude. Conservative and predictable play is a formula for a disaster.

I always pick NC. Why not? That’s what makes this fun haha.

It must be miserable to go in expecting to lose in the first weekend.

I also always do a heart bracket and a head bracket

I always just pick UConn in work brackets. It generally means I win one out of every four times.

You're not sure where the picture came from?

No... I took it as the team was leaving then I cropped it but things look kinda weird behind Mullins. LoL

If it’s chalk to DC, then be ready to pay ridiculous prices to get in the door (again!). Duke, UConn, Michigan St, Kansas. Scalpers dream.

Living outside DC, is it better pricewise to roll the dice and buy tix now before the matchups are set or can you get in the door for less if you wait to the last minute when aggregators are trying to clear any remaining inventory (i.e., during the day Friday 3/27)? Just checked and they're already pretty high ($700+ in the nosebleeds at Cap One) but I assume they'll skyrocket once the matchups are confirmed next weekend.

the bracket will open up again for UConn,

I think UCLAs big man is out. Duke’s PG is out. There will be upsets. UConn beats an average Kansas team to get to the final four.

When is the last time we've played UCLA? All time series? Is it once? 0-1?

Furman was 5-8 against the first 3 quads.

0-1 Quad 1 (Away Blowout)
0-2 Quad 2 (Neutral Blowout and Closer Neutral Loss)
5-5 Quad 3 (Included 2 Neutral and 2 Away Wins)

Starting to see some upset potential with some 12 and 13 seeds now that I'm digging into styles, but my initial pass at a bracket had all four 1-4 seeds like @RuffRuff has alluded to previously

8/9s are weird this year. Ohio State is the 8 and significantly better on kenpom, torvik, NET than TCU so going 8 in East. Going Utah St over Villanova down a starter in the West. Midwest Georgia has played teams in top 25, St. Louis has not. Then Iowa the 9 is better in all metrics than Clemson in the South.

South: Houston with homecourt over Florida.
Midwest: I like Iowa St vs Michigan - Lipsey will be better than Cadeau then who would Michigan use at the point? Cason is out.
East I like us vs Duke due to PG play with Duke down theirs, and big man is questionable (still time for them to get back but if on paper now, I like us).
West: Arizona

Akron > Texas Tech (no Toppin)

Who else you like for the upsets?
