isohume Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Nice way to get a forecast right. Might as well say temps will range from 32-105 to nail the rest of the year. Lol, they aren't trying to "nail" the temp fcst. They are relaying the amount of uncertainty in the pattern. At least a 20F t/grad within their cwfa, same here at gsp...makes for a highly challenging temp fcst with a high bust potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare their record, RPI, strength of schedule, and record the last 10 games with the seven seeds and even a dookie with sense can see UNC got screwed in the seeding.

jburns Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 The NCAA pairings do set up a possible tourney rematch between UNC and Kansas in the second round. It should bring back some painful memories for UNC fans. From college basketball's top 10 most embarrassing losses in the last 10 years page. 8) Kansas 84 UNC 66 4/5/2008 For the first time in the history of the 64-team bracket, all four #1 seeds made it to the Final Four in 2008. So when #1 North Carolina was favored by three points over #1 Kansas, everyone thought… "that sounds about right." Wrong. In what was sure to be a close, hard fought battle between two goliaths of college basketball, the Tarheels found themselves down 40-12 with five minutes to go in the first half. Given the importance and national publicity of this game, 9:20 PM ET on April 5, 2008 might set the record for most people pointing and laughing in America at one time. Despite their comeback attempt in the second half, the final spread was ultimately 18 in favor of the Jayhwaks. Luckily for UNC, many people had turned the game off by then. I remember Roy just sitting there like a deer in the headlights as they fell further and further behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure. I'd definitely take Creighton and San Diego State over UNC. Illinois and Notre Dame aren't much to write home about, but then neither is UNC, save for the fact that they made the conference final (which is more than Duke can say, granted).

I really like how UNC has improved lately, but unfortunately the committee looks at the whole season. If they had been playing at this level when they faced Texas, Indiana, etc., maybe things would have been different. It's funny to me how some people will say, "oh, but they made a great run at the end of the season/in the conf. tourney, that's gotta count for something", when in reality the selection people seem to always weigh non-conference, early-season play so much. This is how a team like St. Mary's will get an at-large bid and a team like Maryland (who beat Duke TWICE) will get snubbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far be it from me to defend UNC in any way, but I was trying to put on my objective glasses for a minute, in order to appease Brick. I love the fact that so many non-power-conference schools got at-large bids. The Mountain West got 5 teams in and the ACC could only manage 4?! The SEC limped across the finish line with 3?! These smaller schools are playing the tough non-conference schedules and they are being rewarded. I'd much rather see a La Salle or a Boise State in the Big Dance than a Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Alabama, or Tennessee. Nothing against those schools, in particular, but it's much more fun to root for the little guy, unless you happen to already be a fan of the big guy opponent. If Duke can't win it all, then I'll pull for any school not from the ACC, SEC, Big 10, Big 12, PAC 12, or Big East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want UNC to play in the region where all the players and fans in attendance get milk and cookies before each game. I want them to face the Washington Generals in a down-to-the-wire Elite 8 matchup where Dexter Strickland scores the game-winning bucket by bouncing the ball off the defending guard's head. I want P.J. Hairston to get a Luke Skywalker-style robotic arm and Marcus Paige to get a pony. I want Roy to burn that godawful used cart salesman jacket he was wearing at the ACC finals. Yeah, that's fair, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I have a lot more fun watching Butler and VCU than I do some traditional powerhouses like Indiana or whoever. It's a balancing act, though, you're never going to have everyone happy with the field and there will always be deserving teams who get left out. I mentioned Maryland because that's the only team that I'm upset was completely snubbed this year. I suppose that I'm biased because I've seen them play, but there you are.
