Agree. Although I think the champ comes from Duke, UNC or UK and it won't matter because the committee will create the matchup of Duke/UK or UNC/UK.

If UK wins today I feel like they are 1 to UNC's 2. UVA 1 to UT 2. Duke 1 and Michigan State 2. Zags 1 and FSU if they win as 2.

I'd go along with that.

I certainly believe we'll be in the West as either a #2 or #3. (We'd have to beat Duke tonite to be a #2.)

I kinda think that Washington will be a #4 in the West. That will create a Gonzaga-UW matchup in the Sweet 16.

At the moment, I'm more interested in who will be a 6th or 7th than Washington or Gonzaga. We have a habit
of playing down to the competition. If we can reach the Sweet 16 in the West, we could go to the final Four.

If the Noles can make shots like they were yesterday and keep Duke shooting 3's, they stand a good chance.

Other than that, you're going way deeper into the weeds on seeding. I fully expect, as I do every year, at least 3-5 WTF's in respect to who they place and where. So, I usually save my outrage for tomorrow evening.

The last time FSU and Duke played each other, Zion was out all 2nd half after getting poked in the eye at the end of the first half. He wasn't playing too well on offense already, and Duke was way better without him in the 2nd half, with Barrett & Reddish making seemingly almost every shot. Duke won at the buzzer.

Well they won the ACC tourney last year so it's not necessarily March. I just don't trust Virginia after last year.

I'm just playing. But yeah, it's definitely up to them to disprove doubters. You earn that after creating that history.

they have always been a team that can not come from behind under Bennett. I didn't see the game last night so I don't know what happened there, it to beat IN A you either have a loaded team. You have a team that can play D with them. Or you have a player go st red hot from the outside.

The more I look at this Duke/FSU final, the more worried I get about it.

With Bolden sidelined, it's going to be very difficult for Duke to stop Koumadje. It's absolutely essential that DeLaurier stay out of foul trouble, and even then, it's a tall order.

Jefferson Pilot/Raycom's ACC coverage was a large part of my becoming interested in basketball. They also had a kickass intro theme back then. I'm happy ACCN is finally becoming a thing, but a part of my childhood I admit is in mourning.

Really hoping that UVA can get into the East Bracket but with Duke winning last night, I’m starting to have my doubts. I’d buy tickets to go to D.C. if they made it that far.

My only hope for the bracket is that Duke and Maryland aren't both in the East bracket, and set for a potential meeting in DC

Terps fans dont know how to be civil when it comes to Duke. I'm pleased that the Devils never to have to go to College Park anymore, and I dont want to have to play them in DC

Don't they still use the Pod system? UVA won't travel far for the first couple of games no matter which region they land.
