No bias here. It's totally normal for 5 seeds to be picked to make the FF by 61% of "experts." Totally normal.

They were the "hot" team going into selection Sunday!  They weren't a very good team all season, but got hot the last 3-4 weeks.  Happens every year, just isn't usually Duke in that position!

I'd scrap the entire crew. It's clear none of them watch any college basketball other than the highlights they catch on Twitter.

And for some unexplainable reason, Candice Parker gets thrown into the mix.

Awful, especially considering CBS has some good college basketball analysts and personalities on the payroll.

What is wrong with Clark?  He is college basketball!

I had them beating Tenn for this reason, they came in hot, but no way they get past Marq

I don't think it was that crazy. Purdue, obviously, was a weak 1 seed that had been in decline for the past six weeks. Kenpom said to be wary of both Purdue and Marquette because of the tournament history of 1 and 2 seeds that begin the season unranked. Tennessee has never been to a Final Four, they have a key player injured and their offense disappears for stretches.

Hot in a very bad ACC and still ended up as only a 5 seed. To be picked to reach the FF by 61% wouldn't have happened if it wasn't Duke. If a team like Wake Forest had the same season, would that many of ESPN's experts have chosen them for the FF? Doubtful.

They were looking for any reason to talk about Duke.  I get it!

I picked them to the final four as well

Ah, maybe I should have clarified. I love Clark Kellogg, Wally, Greg Gumbel.

The crew with Ernie, Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Candice Parker is who I was referring to. Not a fan.

I like Gary Parrish too, I wish they worked him into more airtime.
