Ballcoach, do I need to coach you up on what the high major basketball conferences are?
I was thinking in terms of Power 5 Conferences.

Big East is loaded.
Two double-digit seeds in Sweet 16 for women. Miami showed a defensive blueprint for SC, but they have an easy path to Minneapolis. Stanford looks REALLY GOOD, but Texas will be ready for them if they meet. UCF’s length bothered UCONN way more than I thought it would. Texas impresses me. I guess Louisville has an easy path now, too. TN looked overrated to me all year, I thought Oregon would beat them. Turns out Belmont almost did.

The Arkansas Gonzaga game should prove that Good defense can beat great offense. I LOVE watching the Zags get up the Court. It’s a thing of beauty. But Arkansas showed defense can disrupt a good offense. Their defensive schemes the last two games have been Masterpieces

Two #1 seeds lose last night. I hope 2 more go down tonight.
If UNC and Miami win, VT will have wins over 3 of the elite 8, and got a 11 seed. Crooked Selection Committee.

Only one #1 seed left, Kansas. Baylor is already done, remember?

As for the Hokies, they lost to a team in the tournament that didn't even make the sweet 16. So I guess they were seeded about right, maybe even a little too high. Maybe they should play more like St. Peters. They got shafted by the crooked committee as a 15 seed and yet still managed to win two games so far.

I like your VT school. I just don’t like their fans. Too many illogical ideas.

I’d say those three elite 8 wins are balanced out by the 13 losses, including to 13-20 Boston College and 11-21 NC State, the worst team in the ACC at home.

Houston continues to look like one of the most dangerous teams in the tourney, Kyler Edwards is getting some serious shine. It’s also fun seeing a familiar name in JD Notae dancing this far.

ACC champion should never be a double digit seed, even if it had been NC State.

Pretty clear statement on how low the ACC has fallen when the ACC champion can't even win a first round game in the tournament, regardless of their seeding. ACC champ should be able to beat a 6 seed any day.

VT had a great run during the ACC Tournament. Great achievement for them. They were not even going to be in the Tournament without that. And ironically their run probably kept their former coach from earning a bid. Because Texas A and M is better than VT

We are all Peacock Fans now!

I have come to a realization about the B1G. It’s a very good Conference (not as good as the Big 12 but that’s irrelevant). Their teams are very good doing what they do. And what they do is very effective. Until it is time to make adjustments. Outside of Woodson at IU or Howard at UM there are not a lot of creative thinkers in the league. Painter is a genius at running set plays. If I need a bucket I’ll let him draw it up. But if there needs to be an adjustment in the game plan? I can’t think of any B1G coach I’d pick (other than who I mentioned). The League has a ton of talent on every team. Those teams are good at getting their type of player. But there is 0 creativity

UNC comes through in the clutch to defeat UCLA, 73-66. Ballcoach should be glad that another ACC team advances. Play Basketball

I love to see lower seeds win. Big 10 is always overrated in every sport. I wish ACC could get some of B10's love from selection committees.

How many non-tournament teams did they lose to? I believe it was 7.

I didn’t realize this discussion was about who is undefeated and should be in the tournament. I thought it was about seeding, silly me.
Nobody is saying VT shouldn’t have been in the tournament. Obviously they deserve it since they won the conference tournament. I’m saying they were seeded properly.
They were a decent team that got hot at the right time won a tourney even though they weren’t the best team and then predictably went one and done in NCAA again because they were decent at best.

If VT was as good as ballfan claims they’d still be playing

Has ballfan come out with what seed VT should have been? Secondly, if they were so good why did they lose in the 1st round? I'm sure these questions have already been asked and ignored but I haven't been around as much to keep up.

Seems like there has been ample time for ballfan to compile a list of teams VT is better than. Of course it's odd one would form such a strong opinion without actually having that info first but what do I know?

Go Peacocks!
