Auburn has 16 Quad 1 wins this year after beating Kentucky today, that is actually insane.

Bold take but I think UNC makes the tourney this year, their remaining schedule is easy minus the Duke, florida state, and virginia tech games. I would think they would be able to beat FSU and VT though, both of them are not good.

I think they will be 19-12 going into the Duke game on March 3rd, if they can win at FSU thats massive cuz that will get you to the magic number of 20.

Wouldnt surprise me if they make noise in the ACC tourney too, Hubert Davis' teams do that from time to time. When they made the national championship game against KU in 2022 that was a miracle run lol.

Decent take.

UNC has played much better recently.

First time I can remember Gonzaga and Kansas not ranked at all. I mean I must of been a kid.

I can't quote people for some reason, but in response to the Zags and Jayhawks, all I'll say is still don't count them out in the tourney.

One thing I've learned that if a team is a let-down during the regular season, but still makes the tourney, they can still make solid runs. I can't really name any specific examples except I think Arkansas and Creighton in recent years being like #7-10 seeds despites high pre-season rankings and still making Sweet 16 or Elite 8, iirc.

I think I'll still pick the Zags and Jayhawks, and maybe other disappointing teams like Baylor, UNC, Indiana, etc (if they make the dance at all) to make decent runs, depending on their path of course.

Ever since their little “shhh” gesture after beating Alabama, Missouri is 1-4.

ku falling apart just for them to make a deep March run would be sickening.

That ending to the St. John’s/Marquette ending was bananas.

Mizzou is having trouble guarding people right now which is a dangerous recipe in March.

They were one of my sleeper teams for March Madness and still maybe depending on what bracket they get put in, but im interested to see how they play in Nashville now.

The SEC has been an absolute bloodbath this year, its gonna be interesting once we get into the NCAA Tournament how they perform.

Great 2nd half response by Duke. Flagg stayed out of foul trouble and their defense stepped it up

I hate watching UNC offense.

It's just AAU ball with no movement and ISOs.

And RJ was held to 0 points with 17 and a half minutes to go in the second half, u gotta give him the ball and let him create shooting opportunities

Re: 2024-25 College Hoops Discussion

Women’s tourney shaping up to be one for the books. Even with ND’s drop off from the last few weeks, they’re one of seven teams that can win it (+ both SCs, UCLA, UConn, Texas, LSU - may not even rule out Duke, NC State, and TCU).

I can’t wait.

UCLA over USC to win the B1G is still weird to me. Good for them, wouldn't be surprised if they get a 4th matchup in tourney



Same for Texas and the other USC

Re: 2024-25 College Hoops Discussion

SEC refs man. It's just so bad. Year after year and nothing changes. Has become unbearable.

[legendkiller5]

Re: 2024-25 College Hoops Discussion

Without really digesting the brackets, I have:

Women's
UCLA
UConn
South Carolina
Notre Dame

South Carolina over Uconn


Men's:
Auburn
Florida
Duke
Tennessee

Duke over Florida

Re: 2024-25 College Hoops Discussion

I can't believe UNC actually got in.

Also, the SEC bias is real.

14 of 16 teams is insane. I'd have personally left Texas out. Everyone else was pretty deserving.
