Why does Lunardi have Kentucky moving down? They have won 6 in a row. Has them as a 4 seed. They are ranked 8/9 in the country.

If you're visiting Minneapolis and a burger for lunch at the 5-8 Club isn't on your list, your trip was wasted. Much more important that visiting a mall that is legit in every city.

Dang, I knew I shoulda skipped seeing my granddaughter.

Danny and the miracles trying to pull off a huge upset against Duke. In 2OT.

^^^^^^^
Nice win for Wake. Get's them a pat on the back and not much more. Bad loss for Dook. Good for all non-Dook fans. Fuck 'em.

Texas Tech was shut down by Oklahoma tonight.

Only 3 big12 teams have a winning conference record. Third place team has 5 fewer wins than top two.

If the pandemic cancels March Madness, will Kansas get another Helms Championship?

As long is the final 4 isn't in China (or Japan) we should be okay.

Not a bad question. There will be some pretty draconian isolation requirements if it starts hitting hard.

Wait.
Duke lost to Wake Forest?

I think it'd be cool to watch the games played on TV in small empty gyms with no fans. It'd be weird. But it'd be cool.

Yes.
Wake Forest (and SFA and Clemson and Louisville and NC State) > Kansas?

My boss just came by to tell me this. 113 to 101 in 2OT. Sad that I missed that one.

It would be wonderful if Duke dropped to a lower 2 seed and had to play in the South or West.

The thing duke has that some of the other teams fighting for the top 2 seed lines don't (mainly speaking of Dayton SDSU and the Zags) is that they'll still have opportunities for good wins over the next few weeks....whereas those schools mainly just have opportunities for a bad loss.

I still expect Duke to be a 1 or 2 seed.

UMD needs to win games to keep duke out of NYC.

But, duke could play themselves out of it pretty quickly. They don't seem to be as immune to bad losses as KU or Baylor does.

Soft.

I wonder why that is? Most years I'd just assume it's because the ACC is better than the Big12...but that's not the case this year. Wake forest wouldn't be in the top half of the big 12 either. Weird year.

Duke is still a somewhat scary team, because when they're clicking they can probably beat any one of the top teams if the other team doesn't bring their best stuff.

I don't know. CBS has them as a 3, I imagine Lunardi will soon as well. I think Villanova is going to be the team that moves to the 2 line and stays there. Duke is at Virginia Saturday. Home against NC State and then finish up against UNC. Not an easy slate for them.

If I had a guess...

1 line is obviously Kansas, Duke, Gonzaga and likely San Diego State

2 line is Maryland, Villanova, Dayton, Florida State

3 line is Duke, L'Ville, Creighton and Seton Hall

Big 12 teams in it
KU 1
BU 1
Tech 7/8? They were stinky last night.
WVU 5?
OU 10/11?
