Won’t be easy. Looks like a really tough bracket.

Hilariously I’ve watched more of Liberty than I have of Oregon this year.

Tough looking bracket - lots of potential redemption games if we get on a roll

Just get to the second week and I am good. Roll the dice from there. Akron is pretty tough. Need to take you to the rack every time and pound the glass. Oh and F Oregon

The Zags can beat Houston. Hard to bet against Few in a short turnaround game. That's provided Gonzaga can get by UGA. Not an easy game.

And I think the 5 seed Clemson (whose strong enough to be a 3 seed) could give Houston a run if that's their S16 draw. Then a potential regional final match Vs Tennessee will also be tough.

The B1G gets two but Michigan gets a 5 seed. That league as usual sucked hairy Bigfoot balls(and we lost to two of them ugh).
Guess we will see on the SEC. Vandy at 10 was really their only low seed. Hope they all have a terrible tournament but given they got great high seeds, they should excel

We were the last 4 seed, which shouldn't surprise anyone. Probably would've been a 5 if we hadn't won some games in the Big 12 tournament.

Count me among the minority that thinks the SEC deserved all those seeds. Those SEC semifinal games looked like a Final Four.
B10 is garbage. I don't expect anyone from that league in the E8.
Houston is getting to the F4.

Yeah, they did bracket preview, reveal, and then discussion/picks.
It wasn't 6 hours of Goodman, that would torturous.

I don't know. A couple of teams in their bracket might be a problem. Tenn. and Purdue will be tough. Clemson is really good at times. Tenn plays defense like Houston but we will see. If you recall Trey had a huge game in the tourney last year to beat Kentucky so anything can happen.

Oregon can be incredibly good or above average. They have a couple of losses that were unexplainable. The second loss to UCLA by 20 was odd but the first time they played them it was a 2 point loss.
They beat Texas A&M, Alabama, and Wisconsin to highlight their best victories.
Dana is a great coach so we will see.

I will say for WV- they have no one to blame but themselves.
In their last 15 games they are 6-9.
Best win- home vs TCU with notable losses to ASU and probably the game that knocked them out of the field- their final game to Colorado.

I like it that the UNC AD was like “Oh, I stepped out of the room when they debated the Tar Heels”.
As if the other committee members are toddlers with no sense of object permanence and they all just completely forgot their boss even existed as soon as the door closed.
It was an ACC snow job. The conference was dog shit yet somehow a team that no one had in made it based on their strength of schedule where they lost to every good team they played. Utter bullshit.

Even my objective college bb friend, who happened to marry a Tar Heel, is drinking the kool aid.
“ Among bubble teams UNC was #1 in torvik, kenpom, NET, BPI
UNC.
Three Quad 1 losses to Florida Mich St Duke by total 10 pts
WVU gets a quad 1 win at #72 Utah”
Also he’s a ucla grad.

Bottom line-
If you are debating who deserves this spot- NC or WV- all this does is confirm the fact that the Tournament 100% should never expand past this 68.
Neither of these teams should be playing in the post-season
