Is it possible we are about to see the awarding of the most undeserved #1 to the most overrated team
in the history of the NCCA? By that I mean Duke! Do not be surprised...the lips of many on the selection committee have been firmly on Coach K's butt for years now....:puke:

1. Guess not...amazing that Memphis didn't make it...

2. Thought UConn would be a No. 2
Thought Memphis would get the last No. 1.

I think Memphis is the No. 2 in Uconn bracket, making the Tigers the top No. 2 seed.

4. I think Memphis was the worst #1 last year...they probably weighed
heavily on the seeding due to how weak Memphis' conference anc schedule is.

5. Might've been weak but they made it to the final
and probably should've won.

6. For some reason I thought they lost in the semis...
....I still thoguht they'd get a #1 this year...the question was whether Pitt or UCONN would get the fourth.

14. Notre Dame, but they need to fire their coach before they'll stop under-performing each year...
...so, as a CT native, gotta go with the Huskies.

Of course you hate Duke, you have a soul.

18. Aren't they scheduled to meet Duke in the semis?
Duke ain't getting that far though, another second round loss.

3. No, but Memphis got screwed. UConn should be #2 seed.
Memphis is officially my pick to win it all, just to tell the selection committee "FUCK YOU".
