    Widest Open Field and Parity in College Basketball...

    Don't kid yourself, it does not exist.

    Spreads are even higher than last year, "mid-majors" got another ass kicking. No hope again.

    The only reason we have La Salle/Wichita state is they got stuck in the losers bracket with no real teams and no real #1 seed. They'll get their ass kicked once they play a real team.

    FGCU is the only upset in this whole tourney, nice story, good thing they got to play some Mountain West crap in the 2nd round or else they'd be out too.

    So another BCS team will win the tourney again, like every single year.
    Being sharp these days is thinking St Louis, Craighton, New Mexico, VCU, etc. will make the Final Four.

    Anyway, the parity is at the "top", that's all.

    NCAA needs to get rid of the RPI, it's an embarrassment.
    Best conference in America has 0 teams in the Sweet 16.

    Time will tell. With a 1 and done format anything is possible.

    No it's not, Wichita State, La Salle, FGCU cannot win the Championship.

    It is against the law of life.

    13 of the 16 teams left were ranked in the top 25, 8 of the top 10...and Wichita St probably should be ranked

    That was a joke at the Mountain West. #1 RPI.

    A bet never has value in his eyes unless you're getting three-digits to one

    This is funny. Duke had +1000 odds or lower, mostly +700's and +500 for people like PhillyFlyers.

    Now "after" winning two games they are +1200....lol

    Bubble teams from power conferences like Iowa, Virginia, Maryland, etc would have curb stomped any team from MWC too

    Exactly. This is what pisses me off more than anything about the selection committee. You punish Iowa for playing decent in the toughest conference yet award shitty Mountain West teams that were lucky to win a game. Oh and give Gonzaga a 1 seed despite the fact they beat nobody but they still "earned it".

    Anyone with a clue knows there's only 3-4 teams every year with a "legit" chance of actually winning it all.

    Yeah it amazes me how Gonzaga beating Pepperdine and Portland boosts their RPI but Virginia and Maryland losing a road ACC game to Ga Tech or FSU is the death of their tourney hopes.

    I'll say NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So I assume you will hedge this ticket.

    I have never seen a poster say " this team can NEVER win "and" I bet them to win in the same post." What is the logic behind that?
    It can not be the juicy price because never is never. never is not 420-1.
