TBH, pretty damn mad that UNC is a 1. 7 freaking losses. That's like a CFP team with 4 losses. ACC getting the SEC treatment x2.

That's legit. It will always be difficult, but this is a decent path. I could see some upsets happening. The West is probably the easiest region.

You should. It's the easiest path to the FF in the brackets this year.
"Arizona got uppercutted out of the 2018 tournament by No. 13 Buffalo, which delivered one of the most overwhelming, lopsided upsets by a double-digit seed in tournament history (89-68). "

Sean is licking his chops. The Cats can run this bracket no problem.

The Cat team I've been watching can beat every team in this bracket and most by double digits.

If you believe in Kenpom's metrics he has St. Mary's ranked as the #14 team, which is higher than Oregon, UCLA, and us.

3/4 of the final four being from the PAC is possible. Only happened once back in 1985.

Yes sir my friend, and I'm being serious. We finally got a break after years of BS.

Not saying it won't take an effort but this Cat team is primed to take this region. Sean get's to the FF and maybe more.

Rarely is the NCAA tourney a cakewalk. When was the last time the champion hasn't been tested at least once in the tourney? The competitive edge is really a fine line. And the tourney is a crapshoot. True I like the Cats chanches, but they can't take any game for granted. The best team loses far more than we think.

I completely agree, I just think the Cats bracket will work in our favor. We are solid in every respect and if truth be told I think we're the best team from top to bottom.

I think we win it.

It seems like Oregon is going to get slept on b/c of the Boucher injury. I think that's a mistake.
