danman31 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Duke as the 2 with Louisville. They need to stop using the phrase 'No. 1 overall seed' because anyone who thinks Duke is the eighth best team in the country is an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 05:08 PM) Duke as the 2 with Louisville. They need to stop using the phrase 'No. 1 overall seed' because anyone who thinks Duke is the eighth best team in the country is an idiot. The separation between top seed and the #8 team in the country is so small right now, it is pretty meaningless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote The #1 overall seed does not necessarily get paired with the worst 2 seed. Geography takes first priority. What it does mean is that they thought Miami was better than Duke because Miami (I'm assuming) got the #2 in the East over Duke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 17, 2013 -> 04:08 PM) Duke as the 2 with Louisville. They need to stop using the phrase 'No. 1 overall seed' because anyone who thinks Duke is the eighth best team in the country is an idiot. They probably had Georgetown as the #8 but due to bracketing rules couldn't put them with Louisville. They couldn't put Ohio State in the East with Indiana so they had limitations. Bracketing rules consistently mess up the "S-Curve". Perfect example is Oregon and Cal were both 11 seeds but had to be dropped to the 12 line to make the bracket work. Most of the time we don't know what adjustments were made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Tough region! More questions for my $50 bracket entry. Here are the games I'd like opinions on for this region. Colorado State (8) - Missouri (9) - I know Col St is tough. Total toss up in my mind. Oregon (12) - Oklahoma State (5) - Classic 12/5 upset? I think Oregon is seeded wrong big time. They are 21-4 with their PG and were 5-5 when he was gone. Memphis (6) - I really don't want to pick Memphis. Give me a good reason why.

I think Oregon is seeded wrong big time. They are 21-4 with their PG and were 5-5 when he was gone. Memphis (6) - I really don't want to pick Memphis. Give me a good reason why. I like Mizzou. Oregon is basically a 8/9 seed. I think it's a toss-up. I'm taking Memphis over St Marys but if MTSU advances I might pull the trigger with a MTSU upset. Intrastate rivalry. Memphis refused to play them in the past so MTSU will have a chip on their shoulder. Memphis always plays recklessly it seems. They were lucky to beat Southern Miss the other day when I watched the game.

danman31 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Mizzou is the better team, but that hasn't stopped them before this season. It's a true toss up, but I prefer to pick with talent than experience and coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 DJ Stephens from MEM ST is an amazing leaper. Jackson's a good ballhandler and floor leader. Memphis State is pretty unknown, but definitely looks dangerous and could make a very deep run. Not very many interesting games yet...Bucknell put on a huge run against Butler, but it got answered and the Bulldogs pulled away in the end. The Bisons' 2 time conference player of the year started out 1/10 and just never really got going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
