Nick Ferraro Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 The team you bet on has to get one of the four #1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. It has nothing to do with standings in any of the conferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war ensemble Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 whys that? They're hardly locks, but if they continue playing like they are now they'll have those spots easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yisman Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 A lot goes into this. Conference tournaments, etc. It's also hard to tell who they'll pick. UConn could end up a #2 because they did lose Dyson, a key player, for the rest of the season. I would think UNC is almost a sure thing to be a #1.

yisman Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Duke has a chance too of course. Not a lock though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yisman Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Memphis is good value at 2/1. Forgot to bet on this. Had I remembered, I would've gone with UNC and Memphis. Duke has no chance unless they run the table and win the ACC tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjunc Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 so if i bet money on michigan state, im betting that they win the big 12 correct? If MSU wins the Big 12 I will petition the NCAA to cancewl the Tourney and hand them the NCAA Title as MSU plays in the Big 10 not Big 12:) dont count out my dukies They basically have to go unbeaten from here on out including winning the ACC Tourney to have a chance at a 1seed- it's not happening.

Jets Voice of Reason Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 UNC, UCONN, & OKLA are locks. UNC is starting to look like less of a lock. Edit: Neither is OKLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 UNC is starting to look like less of a lock. Edit: Neither is OKLA. Oklahoma barely got beat by a very good texas team, while Griffon was concussed. I agree they don't look like the lock they were before, but I will bet they'll have a big win and a monster game from Griffin on monday if he plays.

I wrote my post without knowing whether the injury was serious or not. Oklahoma is a good team. But still, their losses leave the door open for a couple teams to leapfrog them for #1 seeds.

yisman Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 If this were still open, I think I'd go all in on Memphis at 2/1 odds. They look better and better each day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS17 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Even if Oklahoma loses tomorrow, they will win the Big 12 tourney & become a #1 seed. The Selection Committee will look at their body of work with Blake Griffin, and surely looking at that, they will see a #1 seed team. They also proved even by losing @ Texas that they are a very good team, even without Blake, and I think they will beat Kansas tomorrow regardless if he plays or not. I like this Oklahoma team a LOT. Right now, here are my #1 seeds: -Pittsburgh -Oklahoma -UNC -UConn Very close behind: -Memphis -Louisville IMO, UConn is most likely to slip up and fall to a #2 seed.

The top 4 are in stone barring a collapse by any of the 4. There isn't a close team behind those 4 and a team like memphis would need a big collapse by 1 of the 4 to overtake them for a 1 seed.

Come to reality, memphis isn't close right now. 1 of the top 4 would have to collapse in the last 3 weeks. memphis' record is built on their weak conference. They's have to have 2 less losses than the heels, right now they have the same despite playing a much weaker sched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good could have been an overstatement, but I still content that they are a good to very good team. What very good team means, could be up for debate. They have a 3-3 record against ranked opponents this year with key wins over 'Nova and just recently a Griffonless Oklahoma. They have strong play in the paint and from the point, which I think will lead them to a win over kansas in a couple weeks. While very good probably was the wrong adjective to use for them, I just was making the point that the loss, without Griffon, didn't do too much to hurt their quest for the #1 seed.

Lurker Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Louisville, Connecticut, Pitt, UNC, Memphis. Four of those will be the #1 seeds. Oklahoma, Duke, Wake Forest, Michigan State, and UCLA are out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yisman Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 your entire weak argument against Memphis is based on the committee, apparently. Since you agree with the committee, please explain why Louisville is the #1 overall. If you don't agree with that, then obviously the committee makes huge mistakes according to you.

Obviously you are the one who has the week argument. you werr so sure 2 months ago memphis was going to be a 1 seed and they ran the table while 3 of the 1s lost at least twice and they still couldn't get a 1 seed. Memphis is a good team but the bottom line is they play in a terrible conference and they played an ok non-conf sched where they didn't fare too well. They only played 3 Tourney teams and lost 2 of those games. That's why they aren't a 1 seed and it was easy to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything can happen in 1 game. if they lose in rd 2 it doesn't mean they sucked just that they played a poor game. Based on what they did in the reg season they didn't deserve a 1. They are lucky a bunch of teams in real conf's lost some games down the stretch or they wouldn't even have been a 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comical thing was you insisting they wouldn't get a #2. Now you're trying to cover yourself, and you look like a real moron trying to do it. What else is new?
