1, 2, and 3 seeds that won’t make the Sweet 16?
- Thread starter GE Nole
- Start date
Yeah, they missed several games due to Covid, so they only got UVA once, and never played FSU. I think Clemson was ranked when they played them, and they also beat Nova. Not sure on the 4th, but its just another weird covid year stat
They beat a "ranked" Duke team - they have 3 wins over tourney teams and only one of them came in 2021
they definitely overachieved. Their style could catch fire and see them make a deep run, especially in this type of year
Very true. They also have multiple double digit losses to unranked teams this year so they could get blown out in Round 1.I know which one I’m rooting for.
Well the truth is Florida really isn’t that good either. Especially not towards the end of the season. Sucks so bad we lost KJ. He was a stud, would have ben a completely diff season for us SMH.
That’s dumb. I hate when they do the whole “when they played” garbage. What a useless stat.
Unless it’s talking about a bowl game or conference or NCAAt game, game time rank/seed is totally meaningless.
BTW, "Record vs. the Top 25" (as ESPN has in their Tournament Challenge app) is literally the dumbest thing ever if it is talking about at the time of the matchup, lol. For example, who cares if Illinois beat #10 Duke at their place during the Big Ten/ACC Challenge?? That really doesn't say that much now. Beating (at that point) unranked Michigan would have clearly been a better accomplishment for an ACC team in hindsight.
Won't be us...
We will break them off. They can get that Final 4 against someone else
Truthfully want to return the favor to LSU.
Plus they been mouthy later.
Want to see them in the regional final
FSU has been sloppy and very generous giving up the ball lately. Defense was non-existent vs ND and the 2nd half of the GT game. Jekyll and Hyde. Who knows which one shows up.
Yeah no kidding. It’s crazy. And I have a ton of respect for UF as a school and athletic program. We’ve had some amazing games against y’all in football and basketball in my lifetime. But that seed just couldn’t be any less realistic haha.
Yeah I don’t know about that. MJ has been great at times but lately he is average at best. Keep hearing tendinitis in his knee, but hey, everybody is bit banged up this time of year., I’ll go so far as to say if he is a no show Saturday, FSU loses.
We would be better off if MJ legit didn’t show up to the stadium than us getting the MJ who played in the ND and GT games.
Agree. Tho Evans has pulled a disappearing act after tearing it up mid-season. What happened to that guy. Covid after effects or something?
Damn. Lol. Looking more and more like the Big Ten has a few times with true deep run potential, and it was the intense physicality of the league that it made it seem as tough as it looked.
Well they’re better than us haha, but what does that even mean lol? Shit I hope Arky goes far.
Hey maybe you’re right. As I said I think this tourney is going to be wild with upsets. Still, FSU has a squad with the length and size to give most teams fits. To be fair this has been the case for a while and for whatever reason, somewhat like Tennessee, have underwhelmed in the tourney.
Recently though they’ve done pretty well in the tourney. Losing only to top teams and competing well. I just have more faith in that program now I guess.
Honestly we've basically overachieved in the tourney each of the last couple appearances. 2017 was a real letdown, but that squad just didn't seem to have an alpha. That's the problem with this team as well, because there are really good players, but not the person that you know is going to take over the stretch and gather the attention of the entire defense. Barnes can be a guy to get you a basket at the close of the game, but isn't there mentally as far as dominating a game offensively.
