Memphis Not a #1 Seed +305

**RogueScholar** · 03-15-09, 02:28 PM

While I agree all those teams are more deserving, there's something fishy about seeing +305 attached to this prop. Chances are we're not factoring in some logistical consideration that the committee must be weighing into the decision. There's value for sure, but I don't think there's enough for me to play it.

**dwaechte** · 03-15-09, 02:29 PM

I think UConn or Pitt gets bumped... Louisville, UNC, Memphis, Pitt/UConn.

**Immortality** · 03-15-09, 02:29 PM

I would give one to Memphis instead of giving out three #1's to a conference.

Where is this line at? I think it is playable. 5Dimes has this line at +240

they changed the line on me

It was

+305(not #1)
-410 (#1)

**BestPlay2day** · 03-15-09, 02:37 PM

I think UConn will be bumped to a #2 seed using the injury to Dyson as an excuse to the lower seed.

**konck** · 03-15-09, 02:37 PM

Memphis is unrated believe it or not ....the are the best defense in college and the offense is ok. #1

**konck** · 03-15-09, 02:38 PM

Dont forget Memphis was 6-3 the put Evans at the p....it's a new team since #1

All there losses are vs the Big East, Cuse gave it to them and it took cuse 6 flippin OT's to KO's CONN

It's down to UCONN and Memphis,

I really wanna go all in on this one

**Lets_Get_Money** · 03-15-09, 02:45 PM

Line moved to +180

no play for me

**Immortality** · 03-15-09, 02:46 PM

I agree it is between UConn and Memphis. Whoever gets the #1 I am sure they will put the other team the #2.

Not something I would go all in that is for sure. Good luck if you do.

**larrymiller** · 03-15-09, 03:02 PM

You cannot keep Memphis out of a number 1 seed, 25 game winning streak, destroyed every team in the conference tourney and while SOS might not be good, that really shouldn't be held against them.

I see it being Memphis, Louisville, UNC, and Pittsburgh.

**TPowell** · 03-15-09, 03:22 PM

I think its funny that Cal put Evans at PG right before the end of OOC play. Of course you went on a run you ****ing toolbox. (not directed at any SBR posters)

**LT Profits** · 03-15-09, 03:25 PM

If UConn or Memphis are dropped to a 2 seed, I will take that team to win the whole thing in the SBR Contest and get my Finals points doubled.

Honestly, I think Memphis has already locked up a #1, along with UNC. After that, it will be Pitt, UConn and Louisville fighting for two spots.

**TPowell** · 03-15-09, 03:38 PM

Louisville fighting for a 1 spot? LT did you sniff glue this morning? Louisville should be the only lock for a 1 seed

I think Louisville and Memphis are the two safest.

I don't see UNC missing out, and if it comes down to Pitt/UConn you factor in Pittsburgh swept them.

I see the ones as Louisville, UNC, Memphis, and Pitt
The twos are UConn, Duke, Michigan State, and Missouri

**TPowell** · 03-15-09, 03:53 PM

should be UL, UNC, Pitt, UConn in that order when it comes to #1 seeds

**LT Profits** · 03-15-09, 04:06 PM

Why is Louisville a lock for a #1? Pitt and UConn both had better seasons as a whole. I think Pitt should be the automatic for sweeping UConn, and it should come down to Conn and Louisville for the last number one. Yes, Louisville beat Pitt, but that was at home. Pitt won at Conn and Conn won big at Louisville. Should be interesting.

**TPowell** · 03-15-09, 04:10 PM

lets see, Louisville won the regular season and conference tournament and went 1-1 against those teams. How can you give it to Pitt when they got beat by Louisville???? Two losses in 2 and a half months should count for something in the toughest conference in basketball. Louisville should be the top 1 seed

UL is Reg Season and Conference Big East Champs

Memphis Line down +170 for not #1

**LT Profits** · 03-15-09, 04:21 PM

Louisville only won the regular season because they lucked out with the scheduling. They got both UConn and Pitt at home only and they lost to Uconn. Then they avoided those teams in the Big East Tournament, which I think should not hold as much weight as the whole season anyway.

Bottom line, if Pittsburgh, UConn and Lousiville all played identical schedules, I think Louisville is the third best team in the conference.

You can paint it however you want, everyone considers the Big East as the nation's best conference and Louisville won the regular season and counference tournament. That warrants them the top seed over Pitt and UCONN.

Memphis is the only no-doubter to me. Undefeated conference schedule AGAIN and huge margin of victory in tourney

Well, if Louisville gets a 1, it will make my tourney predction easier. I will take whoever gets two seed among Memphis, Pitt and UConn.

**TPowell** · 03-15-09, 04:29 PM

LT, Louisville beat every top 8 team in the Big East outside of UConn. We went to Pitt, UConn, and Marquette last year by the way, as well as Georgetown

**yisman** · 03-15-09, 04:30 PM

LT, Louisville is a lock for a #1.

I think Memphis will not get a #1 even though they're very deserving.

I see UNC, Louisville, Pitt, UConn

I'd have: Memphis, Louisville, UNC, Pitt

I don't see how you can leave Memphis out, you can argue against the SOS, but, 25 straight is 25 straight, doesn't matter how you get them. I also don't see the committee giving once conference three number 1 seeds.

The fact that you said "we" changes things.

My opinion is totally unbiased. Yes, Louisville beat seven of the top eight teams. And if the top eight teams all played home-and-home series, I bet that Louisville would have the third best record among the Big Three. Unfortunately, we will never know for sure.

**Richkas** · 03-15-09, 04:38 PM

Memphis,NorthCarolina,Louisville,Pitt are my guesses

LT, if you want to play the "its" game. Where would Memphis be IF they played in the Big East???? We'll never know. Louisville should be the top 1 seed, not just a 1 seed.

**LT Profits** · 03-15-09, 04:53 PM

How could Louisville possibly be the overall #1? Memphis was ranked ahead of them and they won their tourney, so Louisville shouldn't jump them, regardess of how you feel about those teams. North Carolina will be the overall number one despite yesterday's loss.

**onthewhat** · 03-15-09, 04:54 PM

Louisville is the overall #1 IMO

Yeah, he was right

**larrymiller** · 03-15-09, 05:03 PM

Memphis left out, I find that hard to believe considering UNC and Pitt both went winless in conference tourneys

**larrymiller** · 03-15-09, 05:04 PM

number twos-Memphis, Michigan State, Duke, Missouri
