Hampton (soon to be 16-17) is about to win the MEAC, and they'll almost certainly be the consensus lowest-rated team in the field as they head to Dayton.

Yeah committee clearly values it. If Wisconsin Arizona Kansas and Villanova all win their conference tourneys then Duke and UVA will both likely be two seeds.mabrowndog said:ESPNAndyKatz Andy Katz
Last No. 1 seeds that didn't win conference regular season or tournament were UConn and Pitt in 2009.

Rankings and Vegas lines are not nearly as highly correlated as you seem to think. If reporters were that smart, they'd be rich.shawnrbu said:Unranked Michigan St was favored over # 8 Maryland? Did Maryland have injuries that caused that line?

Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:UConn...yet again
Anyone think the Champs have played their way in, even with a close loss tomorrow?mabrowndog said:
As soon as they got the crowd back into it, that game was a fait accompli.

Yeah, I imagine you're right. Okay, might as well just win tomorrow then.mabrowndog said:
I'd be shocked if that was the case. The teams they're playing in the ACC don't have enough schedule strength punch to boost their ratings sufficiently. There are about a dozen and a half teams ahead of them in the pecking order.
By Hoiberg's team, who has always seemed like a solid guymabrowndog said:Awesome watching Bill Self's team get buried.

canderson said:SFA is on a 9-0 run, up 33-25 with about 2 left in the 1sr. Two big injuries though - one looked like a knees completely collapsed. Hope they can keep it up without those guys.
iirc they shot like 35 percent or something.mabrowndog said:Plus the three at the buzzer to close the half up 10. And it all started right after SHSU took that brief 25-24 lead.
I'm still trying to figure out how the fuck SFA managed to lose to TAMU-Corpus Christi.
