UCONN won the tournament in 2014. St. John's hasn't been good since Ron Artest (or whatever he is calling himself these days) was there, that was the year they lost to Scoonie Penn and Michael Redd in the Elite 8.

We beat them at MSG the next year erasing a big lead in the final minute. Scoonie blocked a shot at the end to seal it

I couldn't help myself when I read this just now in the USA Today. This comes from the same guy who had Ohio State as a 4 seed (#15 overall) before the Iowa game when everyone else had Ohio State in the 2/3 seed range.

I can't believe this guy is saying Nova is so far ahead of Ohio State that it would take a lot of stumbling for Ohio State to pass them ?

9 quad 1 wins vs 2 quad 1 wins........Ohio State 12 quad 1 games and Nova 4 quad 1 games. I don't care that Nova has 2 losses to Ohio State's 4 losses they played 6 less games and played 8 less quad 1 games and have 7 less quad 1 wins.

I put my reputation on the line for Buckeye nation just now I sent an email to this guy saying "Come Saturday you will be proven just how wrong you are when Ohio State gets a #1 seed"

Bracketology 2021: NCAA tournament men's field comes into focus (usatoday.com)

NCAA tournament bracketology: Gonzaga, Baylor, Michigan and Villanova are early No. 1 seeds
Shelby Mast and Scott Gleeson
USA TODAY Sports

What is clear five weeks from Selection Sunday is which four teams are No. 1 seeds in the debut of USA TODAY Sports bracketology. Gonzaga and Baylor are undefeated and national title contenders, while Villanova (12-2) and Michigan (13-1) are far ahead of the pack of No. 2 seeds.

It would take a lot of stumbling from those No. 1 seed favorites to see one of the No. 2s – Alabama, Ohio State, Texas Tech or Illinois – vault ahead. But that makes the battle for a No. 2 seed all the more appealing with little separating No. 3 seeds Texas, Oklahoma, Houston and Iowa.

Boy this guy sure didn't believe in what he wrote. He had Ohio State as a 2 seed and Villanova as a 1 seed all the way through Friday night. Then this morning he flipped them not only flipped them he moved Ohio State to #3 overall on his bracket just days after he wrote how "It would take a lot of stumbling from those No. 1 seed favorites to see one of the No. 2s – Alabama, Ohio State, Texas Tech or Illinois – vault ahead"

UCLA is really struggling lately we need them to stay in the top 50 NET to keep that quad 1 win. I know some of you think "whatever we don't care what they do now we beat them" but in 4 weeks it might matter the difference between a 1 or 2 seed or a 2 or 3 seed pending how Ohio State does down the stretch. We have a very tough insane brutal schedule so keeping every quad 1 win is very important that we earned. You hate to lose them so late in the year.
UCLA was a lot better team when we played them but that means little in the numbers.

do you remember the 2011 tournament? of course you do. that's the year your favorite team beat the team you're now choosing to worry about because your favorite team sucks donkey dick.

osu was the obvious overall #1 seed that tournament. how were we rewarded? by being put in the hardest regional. three teams (uk, unc, and cuse) in our region made it to the elite eight the following year. everyone knew it was stacked. ranked 11th in the ap poll heading into the tournament, uk was one of the most under-seeded 4's i have ever seen. they were a youthful, very talented, and rightful 3 that was playing like a 2. instead, osu saw them in the first game of the second weekend. a complete joke.

so please quit worrying about something still a month away from being decided.

I absolutely hated when I seen on selection Sunday that year that Kentucky was in Ohio State's part of the bracket it made me sick to my stomach. That was the 1 and only time in my entire life I rooted for Kentucky to lose a game.
Yes Kentucky is my favorite team but Ohio State is just slightly below that so close that I was sick to my stomach when Kentucky won that game because I knew that was a huge chance for Ohio State win the championship and if they had won that game I am still convinced Ohio State would have won it all that year.

Now I understand the seeds are not the be all end all but this year it be a heck of a lot easier to get to a final 4 if your not in Gonzaga or Baylor's bracket and that means you probably need to get a #1 seed to avoid that.

Ohio State is doing more this year than I ever thought possible and the odds seem long they retain a #1 seed and it may not matter at all if they get it they could lose and if they don't they can win.

I always want to see the best shot possible. So I worry about everything that is just how my brain ticks. Sorry if that upsets you.

Dude there's being a fan and then there's being so obsessive you are nearly having a fucking stroke just typing out rankings much less the game stuff going on. Relax.
