I wonder if Gonzaga will still be a number one seed in the NCAA. They lost their tournament championship game last night to St Mary's by a score of 60 to 47. They will not probably put three ACC teams in the first four, Duke, UNC and UVA.

2 of those 3 teams mentioned above will lose another game before this week is over. Seems odd that they don't look at losses down the stretch before handing out seedings!

Marquette lost to Depaul last night as well. This gave Depaul the Big East Championship this year!

Northern KY punched their ticket to the dance last night as well!

I enjoyed that Northern Ky/Wright State game, fun game to watch with a good outcome. I watched the start of the Gonzaga/St Mary's game and they said Gonzaga led the nation in scoring with 92 points per game. St Mary's kept them down to 47 in their win.

One thing this will do. After two more top teams in ACC lose, it'll give the selection committee free rein to do whatever the hell they want to, and have an excuse.

I'm confused by this. Villanova won the Big East Regular season and the Big East Tournament starts tonight I believe.

MEL, I haven't seen you on here forever! If I remember correctly, you are a UNC fan. There was another UNC fan on here for a long time, UNC-heels. Do you know what happened to him? I know this sounds like a strange question but as there are so few UNC fans in the world I assume you all know each other. 😉

handy you are as funny as ever … yes I am a UNC fan (couldn't figure out my password till today). Been keeping up though.
No I don't know the only other UNC fan we have [Wink]

This makes me think you may be a closet Puke fan also.

Oh hell no … I am totally against anything and everything dook stands for !!! [Wink]

As coach Williams so stated when asked about Zion not playing :Frankly My Dear" .... espn is so far up k's butt it isn't even funny. They lose and espn and their announcers make excuses for them. Either won or you didn't and they lost not only once to UNC but twice and hopefully thrice !!!

If dook plays UNC again, you can count on one thing: During that game, I will be a Tar Heel fan.

Thanks Norm !!!
If you play dook I will be for the wild kitties too !!!

I think Gonzaga gets a #1 seed. You have to look at the entire body of work, not just at what point in the season a loss occurs. They're 30-3, and although their conference is a cakewall, they do play a pretty good out-of-conference schedule. They beat some pretty good teams and are worthy of a #1 seed.

Posted by MEL (Member # 141) on 03-13-2019, 07:36 PM:

I have to disagree... yes they beat dook, but lost to UNC and Tenn and those are the only tough teams I see them playing ... rest was a calk walk through their conference till the tournament... solid 2 seed IMHO
