If both Duke and NC finish strong and play each other in the ACC Final, I see them both getting #1 seeds bumping Kansas if they falter.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

We would have to split the last two games against each other for that to be even the remotest possibility. No way one of us loses on Saturday and then loses again (even in the tourny finals) and still get any consideration for a 1 seed. Nor should they...

I don't see the ACC getting two #1 teams although Michigan St laid a huge turd against Indiana.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

One of them is going to get it. I am just saying the other one could get it if teams like Mizz, KU, MSU, and such fuck up along the way.

Murray State is not getting a #1 seed even if they win every game by 40 points through the end of their tournament. I guess Baylor might if they did that because they'd be putting whippings on really good teams, but still I doubt they would.

If you think Murray State and Baylor are even in a conversation for a #1 you are a dumbass.

Would you give a 6-loss-team a #1 seed in their bracket over a 30-1 Murray State, simply because of their RPI?

I don't think so. I guess he had health issues though from what I've Redd.

Well, if you factor in the Civil War, Mizzou is 1 - 4.

If Carolina wins out, including 2 solid victories over Dook, I think we'll snag a 1 seed. I don't even care, really, but it would be nice to win those games and beat Dook twice. I actually think we need to if we're going to make a strong tourny run. After the FSU slapdown and the Dook heartbreaker, this team needs to be in tourny mode starting tonight...
