New Orleans Privateers on ESPN2 right now, coached by Mark Slessinger. Assistant Bil Duany. Couple of Btown kids trying to coach their team to the Dance.

Great steal there by Colson. Glad the refs didn't fall for Allen flopping his arms around

You think they jump that high? I was thinking a 2, but it would be hard to see 3 West Coast teams as a 1.

At 8 losses that would piss off some teams. Not that much emphasis on conference tourneys. The regular season does mean a lot.

Most Top 25 wins, most top 50 wins in the field and beat North Carolina twice. Unbalanced conferences make conference record hard to gauge which committee isn't suppose to consider. It will be interesting. A thing to keep in mind everyone says they will just be a 2 seed in the east so why will it matter much but if Villanova is 1 overall in the east committee can't but Duke as the first 2 seed ( 5th overall) in same region as #1 overall. It will be close. I actually have Villanova, Duke, North Carolina and PAC 12 winner as the number 1 seeds ( for now at least I need to look over again before final bracket

They would be 1st team with 8 losses to earn a 1 seed. 1st time for everything. This year is just different. Vandy is probably going to be the 1st at large team with 15 losses

Yeah I just don't think they ignore the 8 losses when you have 3 PAC teams with 4 and 5 losses and Gonzaga with 1 loss. I understand the most top 25 wins, but if they had 6 losses, maybe. I expect a 2, but they will probably make it out.

Notre Dame is a really dangerous team, if they make a few more of those open 3s they win that game. Bonzie Colson might be the best player in the ACC. Gonna be a tough out as a 4-5 seed.

Yeah resume is there for a 1 but I'm expecting a 2. Regardless this is probably the most dangerous team in the country heading into the tournament. Guys are buying in and finally realizing what they can become.

I'd want Gonzaga if I was a Duke fan.

Definitely won't ignore. It will be in conversation just like SOS will be a factor which those PAC schools and Gonzaga all have worst ones then Duke. Coach K didn't coach in some of those losses It will be closer then some think in my opinion

Oh absolutely. I am sure I will have them going far if not all the way on my bracket. Depends on bracket of course and looking over off/def rankings. But they are the best team over the last 3 weeks. I see them as a 2 due to the 8 losses.

With UCLA as the 3. I see them getting the easiest path due to getting Zags, UCLA, and probably a Wichita St. as a 4. UCLA won't go in the Zona or Oregon bracket. Those two teams are a 1 and 2. I think it will line up nice for Duke tbh.

Oregon is going to drop due to injury to Boucher. I feel bad for them. That is a big blow
