That's nonsense. 62% of Tourney winners are/have been #1 seeds. 15% of the tourney winners have been #2 seeds. (BracketOdds - How Far Does Each Seed Advance?)

The poll isn't predictive. It's not saying what will happen. It's asking a question based upon hypotheticals so it can't be erroneous, the hypothetical situation certainly may never develop.

If you were personally given the option (knowing nothing of opponents) of playing in these 4 venues at these 4 seed options, what would you choose? It's a weird quirk that 5 of the top 6 teams this year (UK, TN, Duke, UNC, VA) are all clustered together so closely. A circle with a 150mile...

I am a 'Zaga fan but am pulling for TN as well. I had to leave home and had turned off your game with 4 minutes left and TN down 7 or 8. Couldn't believe it when i saw the final score and had to watch a replay on Youtube. Williams and Schofield are ballers. Hope ya'll get a 1 seed. Nice to...

I'm a west-coast guy who loves following the sport of college basketball, especially to watch and root on the teams that keep some continuity and play great team-ball with excellent coaching and players who stay in the program and learn the nuances for 3-5 years. (Villanova in recent seasons...

It's not about "everyone" it's about Michigan and Michigan State both being unable to make the case for a #1 seed. Gonzaga doesn't need everyone else to implode, they just need those ~5/6/7 teams to falter a bit in order to to make a reasonable case that there are only 3 teams with better...

As you mentioned Gonzaga only has one player taller than 6'8" and he's a freshman who has played about 5-9 minutes in close games. Reading this forum I have been surprised at how little the UT fan base seems to know (or be willing to quickly look up ) regarding GU. I also think that a high-foul...

Zags will play their starting 5 for just about the whole game. The injury to Tillie, our highest returning scorer, limits our floor spacing and outside shooting considerably. He was both our tallest player and best 3pt shooter, and he played in the national championship game 2 years ago. The...

As a GU fan, I think Washington played perhaps their best game of the year, and we played our worst. We shot ~20% below our average field goal percentage and had multiple defensive lapses that were uncharacteristic or lazy. The UW Zone also proved confounding since it took away most of our...
