Duke has any easy path. I also don’t understand why Wisconsin is a 3 and Michigan is a 5. Michigan went 2-0 against Wisconsin and finished higher in the regular season big ten standings.

It's not that they have an easy path it's more like they're just a good team this year. I say this as someone who also roots against them. However, I think a team that has some upperclassmen that have played together for a while could upset them. This sis why I don't really follow the NCAA tourny anymore. It's become a glorified AAU with players jumping teams at will. I miss the old fashioned way of building teams through recruiting and watching the classes mature and gel together. It's all BS now.

80s and 90s were the best. Players staying several years and even the best players didn’t automatically jumped to the draft.

It's crazy the SEC got 14 teams in the tournament. IMO, Texas isn't a tourney-caliber team, probably not UNC, either.

End of the bubble was pretty weak this year, UNC and Texas very meh but nobody really "deserved it" At least they didn't put a 5th MWC team in, figured they would get Boise in there but they didn't

Agree. They hired a legitimate up and coming head coach with a proven track record and we hired...Chris Holtmann's assistant

Buckeyes got the short end this year, no doubt. But maybe May will turn out to be average in the B1G after his two transfers from FAU (Golden and (?)) depart. His recruiting so far doesn't seem to be real special at his new home; #34 in 247's team rankings.

But Golden would have been perfect to fill in for Okpara. :(
