I am so ready for this. Virginia will be at least fourth seed. And were having our best ever season yet!!
March madness 2014
- Thread starter Everest Red
- Start date
Nova will be a 2 or 3.. We will do brilliant until we face a team with 2 or 3 big men. Then we will get fecked.
prompted by BC win over Cuse, obviously.
Another UVa fan on the caf?!
Uva? No. Villainova
Be interesting to see how the Orange respond to this. Do they fall apart, their confidence shattered or do they take is a lesson learned that nobody is unbeatable? I think they were over-acheiving a bit anyways staying unbeaten for so long.
Another one bites the dust.
The Big Ten has been underwhelming this season, apart from the Spartans.
Looking forward to the tourney, the early rounds always being the most exciting.
Amazing how much this tourney has grown. I am old enough that I was on the end of the days when the team that won the NIT had some claim to being one of the best in the nation. Back at the time when only 20 some teams got in the tourney and only one team per conference could get in the tournement, there were times when teams ranked in the top 4 did not get into the NCAA.

We dismantled Cuse. Now we need to get the #2 seed and be placed with WSU. ACCT will be a better judge of our quality.
Cuse can't win when their two best players don't score, and Ennis has hit the rookie wall.
true, but they have a short bench for team with final-four aspirations.
That's pretty much what I said... I'm still hoping Villanova snags a two seed. With the right match ups (ie opposition does not have 3 6 10 players OR opposition is not Creighton) the team can go far.
Cuse lose again! Welcome to ACC.
Sportscenter was nauseating this morning.
Absolutely nothing to do with the league. ACC is pretty poor this year (compared to previous years). This is what happens when you rely on 2 players and 1 doesn't fire and the other is a freshman.
Ranked as the 2nd best conference behind the Big 12.
Before the league season started we had 3 teams in the top 6. A whole bunch of good teams all beat each other and that means they're not so great?
ACC will be stronger next year. Louisville is better program than Maryland. Although, they're not in the Atlantic Coast, and have relatively weak academics.
Arghh. I can't wait for conference tournaments. 
Also, your wait for conference was as long as ours.
what? did Virgina not win the ACC for a long time too?Also, your wait for conference was as long as ours.
Nope, our first one in more than three decades.
Ducke/UNC hegemony. We're the Villareal of ACC.
Not results wise, but I think the standard of play dropped a bit, compared to last season.
In other news, apparently Warren Buffett is offering a billion dollars to whoever nails the bracket.
Nova lost to Seton Hall. Madness has truly begun.
Also, it's pretty cool that #1 seed is still up for grabs. I want UVa to get it. That or #2 seed and in the same side as Wichita State.

Indiana bounced in the first round of the tournament, in Indy, by the team that spent most of the season on the basement on the division.
We'll be lucky to make the NIT, I'd rather not watch that team again personally.

Weeeey!
We'll probably get bounced out by Michigan though.

Have no idea what this is about.
You posted in the NBA thread. This is college basketball, which is better.
I am in States so have decided to randomly follow this. Can someone post a link to interactive brackets and what not
It will be out at 6-7 pm tonight. It follows the same format as the march madness thing i did in the general.
I will do some research and enter the bracket challenge as well.

That's an amazing site using tons of math. It ranks all the teams in the country. I lean on it heavily to fill out my bracket and I usually finish in the 90th percentile

What do you want?
I want you to fill out a bracket with us.
Hell, I'm so out of touch with college basketball these days, but I'll give it a go. Billion dollars sounds nice.
