There is much truth to that. ACC was wise to switch their Tournament Championship to Saturday and especially prime time. I remember within the past decade it use to be on at 9AM Pacific Sunday. This has helped their seeding
I am a believer in seedings (as opposed to for example location) helping teams go further and yes win the whole thing. So I connect the dots and admit probably Big 10 teams road has been more difficult.
:: But Big10 lacks the hardware
BIG10: no le since 2001 (MSU won in 2000)
ACC: 8 les and most importantly by 4 different programs (Duke, UNC, Louisville and Maryland)
Additionally Michigan State (the class of Big10) has been handled by Duke & UNC.
Yeah, the ACC gets a huge in-house ESPN advantage. I can't remember a year Duke hasn't been seeded two or three slots above where they should be. This year is an exception. They get an easy first game, medium second game, a free push into the second weekend. Of course this helps with recruiting.
Ironically, this is why they get upset so often; they get slotted above where they should be and so some team wipes them out.
A phony foul call on UCF center to get him on the bench and to get Duke back into the game. No surprise there.
Dawkins was making everything besides that tip-in. Duke lucked out.
And I'd like to see that missed alley-oop again to go up six. Lack of execution at the end by UCF.
Central Florida choked big time.
It's amazing that Duke is able to win games despite being a 2 man team and scrubs, no shooting (although they shot suprising well from 3 today) and no depth.
I wonder if UT could steal Beard
Shaka lol
Letting Barnes go lol
Getting set up with easy matchups helps. This game shouldn't have been close.
Meanwhile, Coach K is lucky as . That Gordon Hayward shot, this shot. I mean, his overrated teams get upset a ton, but they get lucky a lot, too.
This big freaking play game is over if they convert
That being said many champions overcame a narrow loss
Thoughts on Allen's game winning jumper rimming out in the Elite 8 last season?
Refs don't call the obvious foul and basically give the ball to Oregon.
Looked like it would be for a time.
No delay of game call on the Oregon player knocking the ball away after the alley oop.
Duke was a rimmed out shot from reaching the Final Four last season
Houston gonna pay if they let OSU stay in this.
That Houston white guy with the long curly hair is easily the worst cb player I've ever seen, btw. He had to've been Loughlin'd into the program.
The Irvine player kept his arm down, and the Oregon player ran into his space; and the refs reward a flop, too.
The Duck player nobody even touched him and he got 2 FTs. I ing hate that NCAA has went the way of the NBA in terms of ref engineering games.
Oregon was very beatable; but the refs definitely manufactured calls to stop the bleeding when UCI was on their 14-0 run.
Of course they're beatable. They're like a 12 seed.
12 seeds have looked much better, tbh.
Lol. Ok, bro.
