I think UNC is probably the worst of the three right now.

Duke/Kentucky is a toss up.

I was going to say that it's easily Kentucky, but on thinking again, I'm not sure. They all deserve to miss the tournament and by blue-blood standards, that is miserable.

He's probably right about it being UNC. They don't have a single good win the entire season. They have no business being in the tournament.

UNC's best NET win is against a sub-.500 Ohio St. team.

UNC has beat no one. Duke has multiple Q1 wins and Kentucky has the second best road win of the season of any team according to NET and Kenpom rankings.


Don't get me wrong, Kentucky's tournament resume is weak as hell right now, but I don't understand how people can say that they deserve to miss over UNC. Yes, UK has a horrible Q4 loss at Rupp to South Carolina (not defending that), but have the second best road win in the country along with doing OK vs Q1 + Q2 (granted Q1 they're now 1-7 in Q1 games). UK still has a lot of work to do, but if they win 1 game at Florida/Mississippi St./Arkansas along with defeating Auburn + Tennessee at Rupp with no other hiccups along the way, they should be OK.

In terms of the three teams with the best resumes (1 being the best, 3 being worst), in order I'd say:

1. Duke
2. Kentucky
3. UNC

I think Kentucky/Duke could miss having a play-in if they win more games than not the rest of the way without any major fuck ups while I don't see any argument for UNC getting anything more than a play-in unless they catch on fire like last season.

Those back to back charge calls were amusing.

KSU can't throw a beach ball in the ocean this game. I know Lubbock is an intimidating environment, but sheesh.

Tech about to take down UT if they can hold on. Up 6 with 1:45 left.

Tech wins. Drops Texas into a tie with Baylor. Win tomorrow by KU moves them back into a tie for first in the Big 12.

Seeing Kentucky almost blow a double digit lead with under 10 to go in person almost caused me an ulcer, but they held on in Starkville.

Nice W.
