Forgot about Cincy. 

Lunardi:

2 seeds:

Carolina, Duke, Cincy, Purdue

3 seeds:

Sparty, Auburn, Tennessee, Michigan 

Davidson could be stealing a bid in about 20 min too.

Sparty, Duke, Carolina, Purdue as your 2s?

Duke, UNC, Purdue....I think maybe UC and I think it’s set and they won’t alter despite UC maybe another big win this afternoon.

I won’t be surprised if thy give it to MSU though....

Maybe Zona a 4 and UC or MSU a 3. Maybe Tenn a 4

Hell I don’t know

Just checked out Lunardi’s latest....has MSU a 3 and Zona a 4

Has Marshall a 12.....I was seeing them as a 14

I feel like Arizona is worthy of a 2 seed because they won the PAC12 regular season and conference tournament, plus they are 27-7.  The problem is that their SOS is pretty low because the PAC12 is terrible.  Lunardi thinks they're as a 4 because of it.  That same thing is hurting MSU.  At 29-4, they would normally be a #1 seed, but it looks like they might be a 3 because the Big Ten is top heavy.

My guess is this...

#1 - Virginia, Villanova, Kansas, Xavier

#2 - Purdue, Duke, North Carolina, Cincinnati

#3 - Michigan State, Auburn, Michigan, Tennessee

#4 - Arizona, Gonzaga, West Virginia, Texas Tech

I think I basically have the same thing as Lunardi, other than the fact that he has Wichita as  4 instead of the Zags.  I think the four teams most likely to win the tournament, though, are Virginia, Nova, MSU, and Arizona.  Duke and Kansas are probably right there too, and Michigan looks tough right now.  Gonna be a crazy tournament, I think.

I’ve not seen a ton but what I have seen over the season....this is one of Williams better coaching displays.

I agree with this.  Cam Johnson missed several games to start the season, Seventh Woods missed basically half the season with an injury, and then they lost Felton midway through the season (and now forever) because an off-the-court issue.  All of that on top of the fact that they lost a ton of production from last year's team (Jackson, Hicks, Meeks, Britt) and also lost Bradley early to the NBA unexpectedly.  Carolina was 16-7 at one point and looked like they might miss the tournament.  Since then, they have gone 9-3 against the toughest schedule in the country and took 2 out of 3 from their rival.  If they have a solid showing in the NCAAT, I will be completely satisfied with this season.

So, somehow I never realized that they get 1 more year out of Cam. I totally forgot he graduated in 3 years at Pitt. 

I was kind but also will be rooting that whichever 15 seed UNC plays there is an unknown son of Harold Arceneaux ready to meet his Dad

Tennessee...what a shit shot to keep them in it. God I hate shit like that

There has been a lot of talk that he's leaving after this year, whether it's for the NBA or Europe.  I hope that's not true.  

I think that was mostly spurred on by the fact that Roy was still recruiting like he knew he had an extra scholly available for next year.  Now, with the loss of Felton, I guess that's still true since Rush can give up his scholarship if needed since he's truly a walk-on.

Also have Kenny Smith’s kid next year.

Some bubble team is really pissed at Rhode Island right now.

Oh well...good for Davidson and RI

I still expect effing Syracuse to be a play in 12 seed

Davidson’s best player is from the 330.

This American championship is going to be a great game.

I really think Cuse is out, but maybe I'm wrong.  Hopefully the Boeheim tears are flowing around 6PM tonight.

If you don’t mind...I’ll believe it when I see it.

I feel the same as you but don’t trust it

The A-10 semis and championship games were awesome. And very intense. Hurley is a damn maniac.

Hurley said is nuts. Dude used to tear Laettner’s ass when Laettner was GOAT and Hurley underclassman.

I know it’s wrong use of GOAT

I really like the UC team but I see little chance of them getting past the a 6 or 7 seed in second round

If Houston ends up being a 7 like they're being projected, some 2 seed is gonna have a really tough time.

Uhhhh so they were fouling on that inbound and the refs just blatantly said “naw, we’re good”. I’d protest the hell out of that if I’m Houston. 

Everyone’s sound and video off?
