    personally I think wofford wins, covers, all of it. think they win by 10 or more.

    they are more like a 5 seed than a 7, and seton hall is more like a 12 seed than a 10

    I watch zero college hoops until conference tourney time.

    I’d say Wofford. They can really shoot the 3 ball.

    Obviously no guarantee it happens but I actually think UK matches up well with Carolina. Much better than we did in 2017. Not sure who on UNC can guard Reid Travis or PJ Washington.

    Either way, that game will be an absolute barn burner like always if it does happen.

    I tend to agree but the problems carolina has are just as easily exploited now as they were then

    100%. That has gotten better, too, but isn't saying much. brooks has become borderline competent, which means he's come a long way from being absolutely miserable

    the improvement of brooks is definitely the most important trend on the season for me

    I thought he really acquitted himself well against williamson. I know that's hard to believe when said about a guy who went off for 31/11, but if not for brooks it may have been 45/20.

    biased but I thought brooks got hosed on a foul call or two as well.

    with basically no big man depth things could have gotten really bad if he stayed playing the way he was last year

    Every time I have Michigan St going deep they usually disappoint me it seems. So the good news for Michigan St fans is that I am not going to make that mistake this year. Thanks me in a few weeks.

    Lots of chalk in my bracket....it seems like this year, more so than any other year I can remember, analysts are saying that the top is so much better than the rest it makes sense for people to struggle to see upsets or to convince themselves that the top 2 seeds will advance to the Elite 8.

    I know March will March, but I'm struggling haha

    eh...I mean, there's been so many times that it seemed like it was destined to happen that it doesn't. I wouldn't get wound up about it at this point. if you're a carolina fan you've got to make them your champion, because how much of a chump-ass would you feel like if against all odds they won the thing and you didn't have them as your champ?

    having said all that, for some reason I just have this feeling that it's gonna happen this year.

    I would have to go to the game. I would hate it the entire time. would be the least fun I've ever had attending a game. it's like putting your dog down---you certainly don't want to be there, but you have to.

    USA Today NCOY: Roy Williams

    “The Tar Heels came on strong late in the season, winning 15 of their last 17 to finish as co-champions of the ACC and earn an NCAA tournament No. 1 seed. While this UNC team had veteran pieces (Cameron Johnson, Luke Maye and Kenny Williams) to drive its success, it was Williams' ability to mesh that experience with young talent (Coby White, Garrison Brooks and Nassir Little) that helped North Carolina peak now. As much hype as Duke got and as good as Virginia was, North Carolina was among the elite and it’s as a result of Williams’ coaching and winning culture.”

    USA Today NPOY: RJ Barrett

    “While Zion Williamson might beat Barrett for the No. 1 pick in June’s NBA draft, Barrett proved to be the more impressive college player. The freshman carried the load when Williamson was hurt for six games, spearheading the Blue Devils to three wins in March that helped them become the NCAA tournament's top overall seed. When Duke was at full strength, he gave the team a scorer who wanted the ball at the end of the game; he averaged 22.9 points. Barrett's selflessness (4.1 assists per game) was contagious to the rest of the young roster. He also showed maturity as an 18-year-old thanks to his experience on Canada's national team.”
