Oklahoma State was horseshit all year
Tennessee came on strong
Creighton was a pretender and you could make a case for Wichita State in a subpar conference that didn't beat anyoneComment -

all were fraudsComment -
Everyone said SEC was a fraud as well, they got as many teams in as the new crackhead version of the big east yet SEC is 6-0 so far and big east, which had higher seeds, is gone. Every year by the sweet 16 there are teams we can label as frauds because they lost one game, this tourney is so wild some powerhouses are going down every weekend it's just simple math.Originally posted by Big Bear
If we really think the powers are left, let's list them before the games get played. Who survives through to week three and who goes home?Comment -
4 out of the top 10 in average scoring margin for the year are still in it....so I would say you are correct coachComment -
exactly. Lets call the shots before they happen.Originally posted by James D

5 N.C. Cent. 34 2513 73.9 2023 59.5 14.4
6 SandiegoSt 35 2466 70.5 1982 56.6 13.8Comment -
I agree bear, that's why I keep asking if the early frauds are now "exposed " who makes it to week three?Originally posted by Big Bear
The tournament is so wild now. So many small and mid level schools with five upperclassmen starting against 4/5 underclassmen starting at a traditional power that every year there are going to be teams you can label frauds after the fact. That doesn't make them frauds, it means they lost one game. Teams like wichita st are open for criticism fair or not, because of their conference and the schedule. However if a team plays an entire ACC / big ten or other major conference schedule and still earns a three or four seed, one loss does not make them a fraud.Comment -
I still think the SEC is and was shit this season.Originally posted by James D
Zona, Florida, Louisville and MSUComment -
You do agree that them going 6-0 they have overachieved. I mention the SEC only because saying " all the real powers are still alive " after the weekend action is hindsight being 20/20. Few had the SEC running table opening weekend. It's easy to find holes in virtually every team so when one loses that's all you have to highlight. However many of those same teams if they survive we would be highlighting their strengths many seasons end on a single shot. Some real strong teams are gone and some not so strong teams are still here, that is the nature of, and the beauty of this tournament. Especially opening weekend.Originally posted by ChalkyDogComment -
