UVA had a really good season but god that was a pitiful performance. Just glad my Blue Devils weren't the 1st to lose to a 16 (though they probably lose to Rhode Island tomorrow).
I think the system is a joke, and the committee made a ton of mistake. In this situation they had nothing to do with it. Virginia deserved a #1 spot. Just one of the those fluke deals where everthing goes right for one team and everything wrong for another. It just happened to be a #1 vs#16 and will be remember forever. lol I would guess if they played another 10 times Virginia would win 10 times by 15+.it was cracked up to be. Virginia..LOL.

It was like our 20 point whooping we put on Michigan. We looked like world beaters but never looked good again....imo.I think the system is a joke, and the committee made a ton of mistake.

Yes I thought the committee made some peculiar choices, but making Virginia a #1 seed wasn't one of them. Swap this committee with one from any of the past 25 years, and Virginia is still a #1.I think the system is a joke, and the committee made a ton of mistake.

Certainly no Duke fan here, but I think they wax Rhode Island. Rhode Island couldn’t handle OU’s bigs, much less the likes of Bagley.
Not really...NU looked like a team playing at home.It was like our 20 point whooping we put on Michigan. We looked like world beaters but never looked good again....imo.
Duke -9 was stealing.
OBVIOUSLY their conference was not as tough as everybody made it out to be..... Apparently they didn't get any better as the season wore on.Virginia was 31-2, 17-1 in conference play and won its conference tournament. What selection criteria would you have used that wouldn't have pegged them as a #1 seed?
I guess it's not that obvious to me. While I'm not really a big fan of the Always Crying Conference or the Big 12, those two conferences still make up half of the Sweet 16 even with Virginia and UNC bowing out early.OBVIOUSLY their conference was not as tough as everybody made it out to be.....

Also started with the most teams.I guess it's not that obvious to me. While I'm not really a big fan of the Always Crying Conference or the Big 12, those two conferences still make up half of the Sweet 16 even with Virginia and UNC bowing out early.
I don’t think having the most teams in the Sweet Sixteen means the ACC and the Big 12 are way better than the other conferences. But if a conference has four teams in the Sweet 16 and there’s a team who blew through that conference with a 17-1 record and went 31-2 overall, they’re going to be #1 seed roughly 100 percent of the time. Which is why I am still scratching my head as to the point of this thread. Virginia was a no-brainer #1 seed who crapped the bed. Replace the Bruce Rasmussen-led-gang-of-conspirators-out-to-screw-the-Big-Ten with any other committee ever, and Virginia will still be a no-brainer #1 seed who crapped the bed.Also started with the most teams.
Sorry but if you dont think the leagues with the most teams by a wide margin wont have the most teams in sweet sixteen i dunno what to tell you.
I agree that Virginia was a good choice for overall #1.I don’t think having the most teams in the Sweet Sixteen means the ACC and the Big 12 are way better than the other conferences.

If you put that many teams in the tourney the odds are in their favor that they are going to dominate the sweet 16.I guess it's not that obvious to me. While I'm not really a big fan of the Always Crying Conference or the Big 12, those two conferences still make up half of the Sweet 16 even with Virginia and UNC bowing out early.
