posty 2,296 Posted March 4, 2018 Michigan on fire, but I don't buy into teams as national title contenders without at least a couple NBA first rounders. Also adding in that the Big 10 had to play their tournament in the Garden, they will have 11-12 days before their next game... That is plenty of time to cool a team off...

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted March 12, 2018 Arizona vs Kentucky...I think the committee had a rare moment of clarity and realized that anyone who drew those two teams as a 4 and a 5 would be getting screwed, so they just paired them with each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess all you need to earn a tournament birth is an overhyped player.  Also, bless the committee for tossing Mizzou out west  Oklahoma and Arizona State proved that as long as you have a really great November/December, your bid will be set as long as you don't lose literally all of your games in the last two months.  Also, am I the only one that finds it hilarious that they spent all that time talking about not relying on the RPI as much anymore, using KenPom and other metrics more...and then they just went right back to full 'RPI is god' mode with the quadrant system?

jerryskids 5,206 Posted March 12, 2018 Â Oklahoma and Arizona State proved that as long as you have a really great November/December, your bid will be set as long as you don't lose literally all of your games in the last two months. Â Also, am I the only one that finds it hilarious that they spent all that time talking about not relying on the RPI as much anymore, using KenPom and other metrics more...and then they just went right back to full 'RPI is god' mode with the quadrant system? Â ASU went undefeated in pre-season including wins vs. Xavier and at Kansas (2 of the #1 teams). Then they hit PAC-12 play and did very little. I don't know if it is true, but talk here is that the PAC-12 officiating was not in, shall we say, support of ASU. I'm not typically one to blame officials but the binary difference in results is a bit baffling. I guess we'll see how they do in the tourney. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nzoner 936 Posted March 12, 2018 I don't ever recall a #1 seed being only a 14.5 favorite which is what KU opened at and now down to 14.The other three #1's are 22 pt and higher favs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

patweisers44 697 Posted March 15, 2018 Michigan on fire, but I don't buy into teams as national title contenders without at least a couple NBA first rounders. Granted you said "contenders", but if you look at the Most Outstaning Player list from the NCAAs, other than Davis a few years ago you have to go back to Hakeem and Ewing in the Mid 80's to find a legitimate NBA star. Â ETA: Carmelo Anthony in early 2000s as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
