    That region of the bracket has the marquee names in UNC, Kentucky, and UCLA but the Tar Heels are clearly the best team of that bunch. The only way they don't make the Final Four is if they beat themselves which they've been prone to do in the past.

    UNC odds have gone from +900 to +600 to win it all at Pinny. They would appear to be a virtual lock to make it to Arizona.

    disgraceful how the committee sets this up all for ratings. Listening to that smacked ass AD from Mich St. try and explain how NC was 1 seed and Duke a 2 after beating them twice and having a better record vs top teams was hysterical....guy looked like a complete buffoon......hope they lose in the 1st round

    UNC has no excuse this year. This is their opportunity to make up for the heartbreak in last year's final.

    Roy isn't gonna help. It's up to the players. I don't think they even make the FF.

    It's either UNC or Kentucky coming out of there. UCLA is no threat in spite of all the Ball/Leaf/Holliday hype.

    All about money. Heck I hate so many big conference teams get in every year, 12 loss teams make it, 7 loss teams are number 1 seeds.

    Wizzle, finally you come to your fukin senses. You know UNC backers actually caught a break with the phantom bullshit calls on Berry in that semi final game against Duke. If that doesn't happen, UNC continues to trounce Duke and wins the championship making their line go way down. Because of the hose job we get everyone and their mom talking about how great Duke is now , everyone seemly forgetting how that comeback happened and that Duke going into that tournament was losing games here, there, and everywhere. I love it, works out great.

    Probably because they had just got done watching this amazing Duke team going 1-3 in the final week of the season which made them a 4 seed until they made that run to push them to a 2 seed like the guy said.

    interesting spin on things

    can almost say the same about their loss in last years championship game - gave them a nice pre season ranking for this year

    Philly, with all due respect, UNC won the conference championship and Duke finished 5th. The committee has always valued a regular season championship over a conference tournament.

    UNC hasn't played well away from home; Kentucky or UCLA (probably Kentucky) will beat them.

    How can you ding UNC for playing poorly away from home but overlook UK being worse? They'll be lucky to beat WSU

    Not even sure what he means by his comment, it really doesn't make sense as there are no more home/road games so it doesn't really matter.

    It's kind of useful to look at road records for tournament games as there isn't a gigantic crowd there to support your team. I know for bowl games it's something I look at. However, playing on the road in the ACC should prepare every ACC team for the tournament.

    Louisville will fall because of the free throw line. When they shot 4/13 at UNC and 15/26 against Duke. Mentally I don't think they have it to win 6 in a row.

    IMO UNC is the best team in their region, but I think Nova has the easiest path of all the #1's. I think Nova's region has the weakest #3 and #4 seeds (Baylor and Florida), but possibly the best #2 (Duke).

    Butler will give UNC a test in the Sweet 16 if they meet. The bottom half of their region is loaded, but only one can prevail. UCLA and Kentucky are good, I think UCLA would be a tougher matchup for them. Don't see UNC losing to a freshman team like UK.

    Joel Berry is most important player for UNC. If he isn't hitting shots they are in trouble. KU and UNC will stumble when Mason/Berry don't have great games.

    UNC has a cakewalk to the elite 8. Might even see Middle Tennessee in the sweet 16. Arkansas and Seton Hall is a bad 8/9 matchup to boot

    No way. Either UCLA or Kentucky can easily defeat them. I see you are as bad at hoops as you are with football. A disgrace.

    I like the shockers, and I know they're statistical maniacs. But every major program they've ran into they lost - louisville, MSU, ok state.... The talent gap is too wide. Kentucky talent level is off the charts. Can't see wichy keeping up.
