I don't know what Xavier will do, but I figured he would have been gone earlier.

I personally think they lose by 10+

I could see it. But Maryland is Melo and really no one else.

Maryland isn't good, but Xavier should be in the CBI. They suck without Sumner. An absolute disgrace they aren't in the play-in game, but K-State or Wake is. Did the committee not watch Wake and K-State play very quality teams competitively in the conference tournament? Xavier hasn't played a quality game in a month.

They are 1-7 against teams not named DePaul, who might as well be a low major school, since Sumner's injury. I hope they get blown the fuck out of the NCAA's.

On the road heading home, give me about 20 minutes. I think my top 2 players are still left but I want to check.

Be glad you didn't bring up Creighton getting a 6-seed.

Yes, I'm still salty the committee basically ignored Watson's injury and seeded a team as a 6, when in-reality, they should be in the NIT.

You already went there lol

That was tame.

I'm still salty because the NCAA clearly factored in the Nerlens Noel torn ACL in leaving a 21-win UK team out in 2013. We all know that led to the Robert Morris NIT game, which the desperate still pull out as a jab. That injury happened on 2/12, UK went 4-4 after it. Xavier went 5-7 without Sumner, 3 of those wins were over DePaul, another was over a depleted Creighton team. They finished 21-13 and aren't even in the play-in game? As for Creighton, a 6-seed? Wow. A gift to everyone else in that bracket, especially to Oregon...wait, you guessed it, also should've been lowered due to injury.

GTFO.

To Oregons defense they only lost by 3 to Arizona without Boucher

Oregon is seeded fine. The others I agree with. Boucher isn't Dillon Brooks lol

Oregon beat 4 top 50 teams. 2 of those were Utah. The Pac 12 ranked as the worst P6 league, by a large margin, one of the worst overall in the last decade.

Boucher isn't their MVP or star, but he's the equivalent of UNC losing Meeks, Kentucky losing Adebayo, etc.

I guess I differ from everyone else when I think teams should be seeded on the actual team that will show up in the tournament. Not on a resume built with guys who won't be there.

Now this is the response I like to see when making picks. I really wanted someone else but couldn't pass those two up, haha.

I think at least 10, but 12 would be ideal.
