    Supposedly going to be the crazies NCAA Tournament ever

    Yet all of the blue bloods are rolling their way through the conference tournaments and covering almost every game with ease.

    Big 12: Kansas
    ACC: North Carolina
    SEC: Kentucky
    Big Ten: Michigan State
    Pac-12: Oregon

    With the exception of Villanova's loss (no surprise there; they never win anything), conference tourneys have been chalk city so far.

    I didn't say every elite team has covered, but the vast majority of the country's best are cruising to their conference championships.

    Will be interesting to see if the NCAA Tournament follows suit. It's supposed to be crazy chaotic this year because there isn't really an "elite" team, yet there wasn't much out of the ordinary that happened this week as a prelude.

    Are you serious, 15 #1 seeds have lost in their conference tourneys. It's just not happening in the big conferences.

    Who gives a shit about the small-conference No. 1s going down?

    Those aren't the teams that are going to fill the 1-2-3 seeds in the Big Dance and contend for the national championship.

    And FTR, paco, favorites were 30-12 ATS yesterday. Looks like 16-7 today. That's 46-19, or over 70%, since yesterday morning. Dogs are getting euthanized.

    No it's not. People just think it's wide open. What are you talking about?

    Exactly. The perception is this tournament will be as unpredictable as ever. Heard the same things for these conference tournaments. Yet once again, the cream rose to the top and the blue bloods are dominating.

    It's wide open because any of the top 10-15 teams are capable of making a run. What's that have to do with those teams being big names? You're arguing two different things here.

    Not sure one can extrapolate Conf tourney results for a handful of teams and make a general statement about NCAA tourney. What even qualifies as a 'craziest tourney?' 1 or 0 #1 seeds in Final Four?

    Im a maryland fan and I just dont get the MSU hype. MD was crazy overrated, and i think the big 10 is overrated. I think if MSU plays a high power offense they will struggle. Kansas is gonna be tough to stop

    I agree mostly except b10 rating. These conference games have been a whirlwind because we have a lot of good teams. Even michigan who got spanked by purdue is not a bad team. I think in another conference theyd be in top 3. I think pac 12 and big ten are under valued conferences this year.

    WKU. UMass. Seton Hall.

    Derrick Gordon will be the first player to ever play in the NCAA tourney for three schools.

    UMD is as talented as any team in the tourney they just are extremely inconsistent and turn the ball over way too much. Could see them upset in 1st round or making a run, who knows.

    I give a shit because small conference games win just as much money when wagered on as big conferences

    Overrated but can up their game when needed. Examples: yesterday i did $480 on msu money line because i thought maryland can bounce back at end of games that look to be a win for the other team. Purdue vs maryland at maryland purdue was up a lot and Maryland bounced back again with intensity and won. Purdue vs maryland at purdue. Purdue had a good lead maryland at the end had great full court pressure and made it a interesting game that purdue could of lost. Maryland is not a bad team but their rankings have been off all year. I think maybe its the coaching because a good coach should have his team ready for the whole 40 minutes not the last 10 minutes.

    Melo Trimble is THE PROBLEM. Your BEST SHOOTER cant go 2/15 from the floor in a big game like that.

    I think your 100% right on the coaching issue.. Hes a great recruiter but the team doesnt put out 100% til the end just like you sad

    All about matchups, really loving Kansas getting it done this year depending on who is in their bracket. Dark horses: Nova, Seton Hall, UConn. Also like Michigan State and Oregon.

    Since when is Oregon a blue blood in college basketball?

    Also, all of these lower seeded teams in the lower conferences should make it easier for the better teams. They aren't even getting the best reps from the bad conferences (emphasis on SHOULD)

    Kansas goes down no later than Sweet 16. UNC will win it all. Michigan State will make it to another Final 4/Elite 8.
