I?ve been saying for weeks that this will be one of the most chaotic tourneys ever. But I just filled out my bracket, and it looks awfully chalky. Yea, mine is basic chalk. I do pick upsets on the 8/9 games. And I picked against the danged tiglets in their first game. If they win a couple, my bracket is toast.

But their conference is trash. A win over Duke is really all that could've helped them, and they didn't get to play them. A loss to an MSU team that was already a tourney team anyway, even if it came early, is still less damaging than a title game loss to NCSU, who was well outside the bubble.
I agree with you. But you know how this works. The royalty gets the benefit of the doubt. And all of the expert bracket predictors are saying "UNC". Back in my day, the saying was, "You can't fight the system." "Back in my day" was before the written word. But it was still the word.

I thought it was far-fetched when I posted it- but now that I look at things a little more closely, I think it's a real possibility. Lunardi had us as the #5 overall and UNC at #4 before their game tipped off. And they just lost. Sooooooooo? Well, I'll back you on this, since it doesn't cost me anything, but unfortunately, UNC went to the finals of their conference tournament and we went out in our first game. And they beat us this year. But I won't pass on the #1 seed even if seems unearned.
