gotta have your storylines for tv ratings breh! rematches and playing northern kentucky in our first game
UNC vs Duke resume and head to head records looking funny in the light for UNC. Even the analysts calling that out. UNC tied the most losses ever for a 1 as well.
Kentucky got screwed as 2 seed too, no way Kentucky should've got that difficult of a path.

8 losses.
bad losses only matter as much for teams on the bubble. when you're trying to separate the top teams, quality wins is what matters more and duke has more than anyone else in the nation and beat UNC head to head twice out of 3 games. shyt is crazy. they move the goalposts every year.

They were ranked 14th nationally. That falls on the 4 line.

Man, they were ranked #15 or so before these conference tournaments. The regular season matters. UNC WON the best conference in the nation by 2 games. Chill out.
Duke got a light road as a 2 seed. SMU will be tough. Just enjoy the tourney at this point

Had Duke gotten the #1 seed they would have set the record for most L's for a 1 seed
They were ranked 13 and finished like 5 in their conference what seed were they supposed to be?
nikka what are you even arguing. There's no logical reason Duke would have been a 1 seed prior to the ACC tourney. And winning your conference tourney does not auto make you a 1 seed.

did this idiot Mark Hollis say duke didn't have any great wins prior to the conference tourney? this process is broken as fukk. they started the week in their mind with who the 1 seeds are and didn't look at anything deeper than the surface of conference wins and losses.

you a UNC fan, so by default I hate ya guts, but this was glaring as well.
my biggest issue is that they basically ignored the conference tourneys save for the automatic bids from smaller conference. anyone who watched the games/uses eye test can see that duke should be above UNC. Them you compare them on paper and it becomes mroe obvious. Hell, UK should be above UNC as well.
So explain that how according to what the NCAA committee reps said.8 losses.
UNC had 7 losses won the ACC reg season with a weaker SOS
Duke had 8 losses won the ACC championship and beat UNC 2 out of 3 times and had a stronger SOS
Yet UNC is 1 seed over Kentucky and Duke who both beat UNC on neutral courts and over Arizona who has less losses than UNC and unlike UNC won their conference tournament Championship.
