Why are they better than those other 6? Yes I know...UK beat WVU. So, ok there is that. But UK also lost to Auburn.What makes them better than OSU, Gonzaga or Wichita State?

Three teams enter the tournament in the top 20 on offense and defense per KenPom:
Duke (top 10 in both)
Michigan State (top 10 in both)
Gonzaga
Duke and Michigan State are in the same region.
UVA (1 D; 21 O) and Nova (1 O; 22 D) will probably join those three teams

Kentucky is 25 and 23 on that so if they make a run (doubtful) they presumably will enter into that too.
Fully expect UNC fans to root for UVA if we end up playing Creighton in round 2 in Charlotte.
Was discussing UL with my brother. I felt they were in. The RPI/Quad thing is a joke. Like I said, when you start valuing a win vs Loyola as more or equal to that of a win vs WVU...something is terribly amiss. Louisville beat Fla. St twice....VaTech twice. And Notre Dame. St. Bonnie, 26th in the RPI somehow, best win is..........Rhode Island. A good team. But their next two best-------Buffalo and Syracuse. After that, its Northeastern. Thirteen(13) of their 25 wins, or half, werre versus sub 150 teams. But they are in over........UL? How? Well I will tell you-----The RPI. It's a joke.
Like I said, when a "W" vs Loyola, St. Bonnie, or Buffalo is on par or greater than a "W" vs a Kansas, UNC, Duke, UK, etc, etc...the system is broken. Buffalo had ZERO Top 50 wins. Their best win(s) are...........Toledo twice. Yet they count as a Quad 1 win. That is insane.
No way you can convince me that St. Bonaventure is better than USC, UL, Notre Dame, etc, etc...None. Zero.
No way you convince me its more impressive or equal to beating Buffalo as it would be in beating UK, Duke, etc, etc...But to the NCAA committee, it is.
Shameful. Really is.

hmm what is the beef for UNC fans against Creighton? Was it because of Kendall Marshall in 2012?
Yup, he got hurt, Strickland was already on the shelf so our starting back court was out. Stillman White tried but it wasn't good enough.
Yeah, coaches complaining in my opinion will only make it harder for them in the future. I don't like UK but they got bent over big time with that draw.
At first glance I love Carolina’s bracket. Yes that means it’s weak. But the East is weak as hell too.
Hmmm, don't recall that happening. You sure?
They got to play Sparty. Since no MTSU, Sparty should be good to the second weekend.
The way Creighton played that whole game. If it had only been Marshall getting hurt, then ok, that happens. But Creighton played like goons the whole game. It was obvious that the game plan called for cheap shots.
So fuk Creighton.
As long as you're not arguing that garbage can of a team called St. Mary's deserves to be in, I agree with you.
That's a great one. I'm sure you're texting you friend right now and screenshotting this. If you actually read the thread I gave Uk props, but you wouldn't know that bc you still have your flashing blue glasses on from RR.
He’s the perfect coach for the most insecure fan base in all of sports.
