Listening to a Rick Pitino interview after the Wisky game- the guy is amazing. His answers show you why he just keeps winning- he has the personality and the strategic knowledge. St Johns is going to be interesting in this tournament. A bad shooting team that gets after it defensively and can get to the bucket on offense with their athleticism.

And simply communication ability.

You knew the bracket was going to be absurd with coyle involved. Creighton Louisville as 8/9? UNC? Michigan a 5?

 

[Bad Gopher]

Not that I don't like UCSD, but Michigan is going to kill them.

I agree with Michigan as a 5, but Louisville all the way down to an 8 is a head scratcher

 

[stocker08]

lol @ Wisconsin live look-in

 

[bga1]

Michigan gets ripped off. Beats Wisky and gets the 5 seed while Wisky gets the 3 seed.
Michigan also ahead of them in conference and a better overall record. Strength of schedule maybe?

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

lol @ Wisconsin live look-in

I think they lose to BYU in 2nd round

 

[Spaulding!No!]

I recall someone in early Jan predicting MI to play stronger going forward.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

I figured they'd both be 5s, maybe Michigan might get a 4

UNCheat....joke.

BYU never wins the first game, run far away from them if $$ is on the line.

 

[USAF]

Losing to Ben Johnson's Gophers dropped Michigan 2 or 3 seeding spots lol

 

[Gilthorp57]

lol @ Wisconsin live look-in

They look very subdued

Seth Davis says UCSD to the Sweet 16. He knows Elite Basketball when he sees it so...

I really hope you're wrong. UCSD is a fun team to watch

 

[LongLiveMilesTarver]

I could do without any of those playin teams in the tournament.

I don't mind the play in games, but don't make automatic qualifiers play in them. They should be in the field of 64 automatically. Make the first four all bubble trams

 

[JZABR]

UNC and Xavier getting in is a pair of abominations

I was more referring to how awful the bubble has been for about 20 years.

And they want to expand to 76...

 

[Gilthorp57]

Clemson vs Strong Ass Offer and Purdue vs High Point. Interesting bracket...the higher seeds could take these games.

Who knows, but Seth throws out these predictions every year and has been so wrong so often.

I do like how UCSD plays, though, and will be tuning into that game.

 

[Bad Gopher]

So glad for Dennis Gates

 

[Bad Gopher]

OK, doing some research on San Diego, and wow, they are really good! Must see TV

 

[Breakin' The Plane]

Clark Kellogg has Clemson in the final. I'll be picking them to lose Round 1, and I doubt I'm alone there.

michigan had a bad non con / bad losses. wisconsin had no bad losses besides penn state which basically knocked them from a 2 to a 4 and then moved back up to a 3 after beating ucla and Mich st.

I thought the same. It's like a professor at the front of a class, all off the top of his head. Basically, any coach preparing for this week, could listen to that interview and not saying they don't already know all this stuff, but he shares it in about 45 seconds.
