Thanks for the schedule. Looking forward to that big game at the bottom. Too bad Auburn didn't make the list this year.

I can dig all that except I got

Tennessee over Iowa State

And

Kentucky over WVU

2 best and deepest leagues this year IMO. It's a shame the SEC has 4 potential NCAA tournament teams not participating. Outside of Auburn the other 3 could use a marquee win OOC to boost the resume.

The way we're playing lately I wouldn't be surprised if we lost even with home court advantage

Probably, because both leagues are playing their conference tournaments where they belong. The basketball gods have spoken, and they do not like New York City.

I hate that the B1G tournament is in NYC. So dumb. Where's the ACC tournament at this season?

Brooklyn. Thankfully they're going back where it belongs in 2019 and 2020. Charlotte in 2019 and Greensboro in 2020. Haven't announced anything past 2020.

I'd be fine with it being in Greensboro every year. Just feels right being there.

Yeah, Greensboro is the best location for it, IMO. I've been to ACC Tournaments in Greensboro, Charlotte, DC and Brooklyn. The other locations just don't match the atmosphere that Greensboro brings. Strong CBB tradition in Greensboro.

Agreed, the tournament just felt bigger in Greensboro, but I don't know if that's the nostalgia talking or not.

The more passionate fans tend to come from the conference's home base, which is what Greensboro is. Also, two of the biggest giants in CBB are located about 50 miles away.

Holy thread hijack!

The top of the SEC is looking pretty suspect right now. Could really use a couple of wins over the Big 12 this weekend to change perception.

I've got South Carolina over Tech. Tech's hit a lull. They still play hard but are struggling a little.

I think they'll get a couple. I'm betting this is closer to a split than a lot of folks think.

I could see Tech losing but I think South Carolina’s offense is horrid (last night excluded). I could see ethier way but I like Tech honestly.

The Big 12 has never lost this thing so it's hard to pick against them.
