Yep. I thought that UNC would come out pissed. Looks like they did.North Carolina up big early. The ACC seems to be under appreciated based on overall seeding.
And they did what they've done all year; beat a quad 2 team. They're 9-0 against those teams. It's the good teams they couldn't beat all year, thus why they shouldn't have been in the tourney to begin with.I am not saying UNC is bad, but it seemed all season long that the MWC wasn't very good.
Statistically the play in 11 seeds have advanced less than the regular 11 to round 2UNC could cause some trouble in tournament. Seems like there is always a team that plays in that 11 seed play in game that makes a bit of a run.
It certainly created a bad look for the committee and the ncaa. I know Bubba couldn't be in the room when UNC was being discussed, but knowing he was standing in the hallway outside the door no doubt influenced the decision.And they did what they've done all year; beat a quad 2 team.

Exactly. And those guys are together all week long. Are we really to believe that UNC didn't get talked about at all? I get that every year there are going to be teams in that shouldn't be, and teams out that should be in. But the optics of this one were terrible.It certainly created a bad look for the committee and the ncaa.

As an aside, is there a more fitting name for an AD from the south than Bubba?
Don’t forget the big head scratcher relevant to the Griz, #13-3 seedExactly. And those guys are together all week long. Are we really to believe that UNC didn't get talked about at all?

the only thing that was worse in my eyes was Louisville getting an EIGHT seed! Here's how the seeding broke down for the top 10 teams in the country:
#1 - 1 seed
#2 - 1 seed
#3 - 1 seed
#4 - 1 seed
#5 - 2 seed
#6 - 2 seed
#7 - 2 seed
#8 - 2 seed
#9 - 3 seed
#10 - 8 seed
There were a lot of head scratchers this season
I wish I knew what you meant 5280.Don’t forget the big head scratcher relevant to the Griz, #13-3 seed
They gave the #13 team Wisconsin a 3 seed whereas their ranking says they should have been mid 4.I wish I knew what you meant 5280.
Ooooh! Gotcha.They gave the #13 team Wisconsin a 3 seed whereas their ranking says they should have been mid 4.
Not doubting that but I thinking more in terms of deep runs like VCU and UCLA.Statistically the play in 11 seeds have advanced less than the regular 11 to round 2
