Saint Peter’s could lose the next round and I still think this is the greatest/craziest run ever. Nova actually winning title, and over Ewing, is only one I think tops it.

VCU Final 4 was crazy

Duke/UNC Final 4

UCLA….allowing hot Love to get shots off, up 3 late……they gone now

Good effort. Didn't work.

Duke/UNC Final 4

Someone fucks up, I bet Duke tomorrow. Can’t see Saint Peters upsetting UNC but it’d be fun.

Solid. But not even the best mid major run. George Mason was better.

But Saint Peters already tops them. CAA and A-10 >>>>> MAAC. Really, not even close. Saint Peters was going to the CBI if they don’t eat Rick Pitino in the conference tournament. They are nowhere near a good team on paper or metrics. Yet, here they are.

What’s more impressive, St Pt or UMBC over Virginia in 2018? If you vote UMBC, what would St Pt have to do to win you over? Final four?

Off topic but why are there so many fucking AT&T commercials? Or Progressive. Who is sitting around thinking “hey I haven’t switched my auto insurance or phone carrier around in a while and that’s always fun to do!”

Saint Peters by far. Virginia was missing their best player, and it was 1 game.

I am here for UNC meeting Duke for the first time in the NCAAT /- and ending Ks career. How sweet would that be, and the best rivalry would be turned up that much more.

There was like 6 seconds left down 5

It was over. Never let the hot guard get shots off in those moments. He poured in 6 quick and that was it

My least favorite Duke game ever might be that 1994 Final vs Arkansas…..so I’m not real excited about them facing a (nobody talkin about us Arkansas team)

Was rooting like hell for St Peter’s over Purdue, even though it gives UNC the easier path (don’t think Purdue was going to beat UNC)

I thought that too but then again it had never happened and hasn’t happened since. Has it come close to happening again? The #1 seeds won by an average of 25 points this year. 

Miami isn’t messing around

Duke is 11.5 point favorites?

Everyone betting on the fix being in because no way is this Duke team going to easily win a regional final.

Edit: I’m seeing it Duke by 4 most places. Wherever I saw that on Twitter must really know something lol.

Houston 2.5 point favorites? Doesn’t sound right.

Kansas by 6 and UNC by 8.5

Not sure anyone is playing 6 points better than Miami

It's Duke -4. Favorites did well the 1st round, but underdogs have been killing it each other round. Houston being a favorite feels like a market correction. 

I think the underdogs continue to do well in this elite eight. 

This season has been chaos and any team winning or losing. The tournament is enforcing that. I wouldn't be surprised if any team made the final four or win the thing.

I’ll be surprised if St Peter’s wins anymore.

Duke/Arkansas….I never saw Arkansas beating Gonzaga so beating Duke is certainly there for the taking. I can see either team winning and near 50/50 to me.

Houston/Nova….I trust Wright more than any coach left. I also trust that Houston don’t care. I feel this is a 65/35 in favor of Nova

Kansas/Miami….I won’t be surprised if Miami turns into what I think and loses by 12 or keeps looking like the best team and wins by 8. Kansas, to me hadn’t looked great but here they are. I feel Kansas in a 60/40 way. I went about 15 straight years where I’d pick Kansas to win….this year had them in finals with Gonzaga.

I like UNC in a 85/15 type of way.

I think it can be argued the top 4 remaining teams are on the right side…if not I’d put UNC in there.

Yeah, but I mean this (15 to E8) hasn't happened either. An 8 winning it all has only happened once. 

Best looking teams in tournament still remaining: my thoughts 

1. Kansas

2. Villanova

3. UNC

4. Houston

5. Miami

6. Duke

7. St Peter’s

8. Arkansas

Best path to the finals:

1. UNC

2. Duke

3. Kansas

4. Villanova

5. Houston

6. Miami

7. Arkansas

8. St Peter’s

Best chance to win it all:

1. Kansas

2. UNC

3. Villanova

4. Houston

5. Miami

6. Duke

7. Arkansas

8. St Peter’s
