The lead: Louisville get #1 overall seed vs toughest bracket ever

[Louisvillekid1]

Like my pop always told me, you wanna be the best then you gotta gotta beat the best.

[tto827]

Unbelievable that Duke gets the last #2 seed. Whoever makes it out of the Midwest will surely be battle tested.

[daneblazer]

Yea thats sick. The committee must be mostly UF grads. They always seem to have a trail blazed for them.

[d2bets]

Already setting up excuse? How can you say it's toughest when we only know half.

[InTheDrink]

ever is a funny word to use when the whole field is watered down more now than ever before

[k13]

MM just told me Louisville got the easiest bracket ever...

[Louisvillekid1]

Google the record of hall of fame coaches in one bracket, imagine if Ricky j didn't pass

[Louisvillekid1]

You guys will never understand this level of hoops

LK do you cap games that way too?

The south is the toughest bracket imo.

Michigan is a 4 in the South, they are equal to Michigan St who is a 3 in the Midwest.
Florida is the best 3 seed in the tournament.
VCU is about equal to St Louis, VCU is a 5 seed in South.
Georgetown is better than Duke.

VCU is about equal to Saint Louis? Did you miss the two beatings that St Louis gave them? They dominated those games, no matter what the final score said. Georgetown better than Duke?

[TPowell]

We got screwed as far as 4/5 seeds so. Saint Louis and Oklahoma State BOTH are underseeded

Do you really think Duke is better than Georgetown?
They are close, but to think Duke is way better than Georgetown is a joke.

Duke is overrated just like every year. They are probably not even better than they were last season.

Georgetown has 1 loss to a non-tourney team (back in January). Duke has 3 (all recent losses)
Duke had some good wins to start the season, but other teams have improved while Duke does/has not.

Duke is the most overrated program in the country and people are buying into the coach K hype.

[Inkwell77]

The South is the toughest region.

Look at the odds:
Top 5 seeds in each region

South:
3rd fav
6th fav
9th fav (tie)
10th fav
22nd fav

Midwest:
1st fav
5th fav
9th fav (tie)
14th fav
27th fav

[Inkwell77]

Plus throw in UNC who is the 17th favorite.

I really don't even think this is debatable. South is the toughest region.

Did your pop ever tell ya to answer your fukkin phone

[Straight Cash]

What's so great about Duke? Everyone was loving them when they beat Miami, but how great are they gonna be away from Cameron...

[Bengals28]

Toughest region of the 4 you mean right? College hoops is undoubtedly down this year overall.

[ZetaPsi808]

louisville has the advantage here b/c they play games in lexington i believe

[opie1988]

[pavyracer]

He found out you miss him and he threw up. No way he posts anytime soon.

Yeah, I can see how they are always overrated. I mean 4 Championships, 8 Championship games and 11, or is it 12 Final Fours??? You know I lost count.... Yep, I'm sure most programs would love to be as overrated as Duke and Coach K.

[k13]

Easiest side ever.

Only msu/duke and osu left on the whole left side vs. Kansas/Michigan/Florida/Indiana/Miami/etc.

[OILGUY16]

Like my pop always told me, you wanna be the best then you gotta gotta beat the best.

Your Pop is "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair ?
