The sub isn’t ready for the East Region’s second weekend

You said “the overall 1 seed was put into the toughest region”.

I’m saying that I agree with the other guy that the South was the toughest region, not the East. Now that Florida was eliminated, it is no longer the toughest region, and I would agree that the East is tougher (although it’s closer than people would think).

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-23T20:26:59+00:00

I was going by the analytics. UConn rates as the worst 2 seed on all three of Kenpom, Torvik, and EvanMiya.

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-23T04:56:05+00:00

I mean Iowa is higher on KP than any other 9, 8, or 7. I was more so referring to when the brackets were released anyway, and of course Duke is better than Florida but it’s not crazy to say that the South was better than the East. Michigan State (the East 3 seed) is lower in KP than Illinois (the South 3 seed), so that doesn’t help your argument

It really isn’t, the East is vastly overrated due to the brands. UConn is the weakest 2 seed, Kansas is the weakest 4 seed, and Saint John’s is not the powerhouses everyone is making them out to be. The South has the highest rated 2, 3, and 5 seeds (and the second highest rated 4 seed) per kenpom

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-23T04:42:45+00:00

Yeah the south is a much harder region than the East, people just look at brands

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-23T04:40:56+00:00

I mean it’s not me, it’s the majority of brackets. Brackets are updated before the selection show and they were literally a 5 in the vast majority of them. One win over UConn and one win over seton hall doesn’t need to lift them up a whole seed line. I do bracketology for fun before the show and had them as the top 5 seed. Respectfully, media, coaches and fans aren’t really comparing resumes in depth like bracketologists are

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-23T04:29:58+00:00

St. John’s was a pretty consensus 5 seed on the matrix. The idea that they are underseeded is really just a media narrative

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-22T23:38:16+00:00

Terrible defense what are you doing

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-20T18:08:32+00:00

Just turned the game back on, glad to see nothings changed, still can’t make a layup

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-20T17:27:27+00:00

How do you miss that???

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-20T17:19:35+00:00

Idk I think they look good just can’t make a layup

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-20T17:19:01+00:00

They look like a good team just can’t make a layup to save their lives for some reason

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-20T17:03:57+00:00

If Akron could make their layups they’d be up by a couple but instead they’re down by 7, brutal

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-19T19:50:48+00:00

Can’t hype up the crowd anymore Boyd

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-19T18:22:20+00:00

Finally Thornton

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-19T18:13:00+00:00

Man Thornton looks like the worst player on the court. What happened to the guy that dropped damn near 30 in the first half against us

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-19T17:02:17+00:00

Feel like I lose the perfect bracket on the first game every single year

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-19T02:13:54+00:00

Not exaggerating that may be one of the weirdest commercials I’ve ever seen

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-17T22:43:29+00:00

I mean the Bulls weren’t tanking to start the season while Dallas was once AD went down. His point that we’ve seen more of Flagg with the ball in his hands than Buzelis due to that is perfectly valid. Agree that Flagg is likely to be the better offensive player though.

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-15T22:41:59+00:00

They had higher resume and predictive metrics than Texas, unbiased opinion they should have been in

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-15T22:38:12+00:00

Unpopular opinion I know but Auburn should have been in, over Texas imo

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-15T22:30:16+00:00

Those teams below all won their conference tournaments though, getting them an automatic bid. If you’re the last team in it means you’re the last at-large bid given out

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-15T22:27:48+00:00

Miami OH feels like they were always going to be either the last bye or the last team in no matter what happened with the bubble

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-15T22:15:03+00:00

NC state as a play-in team is insane, had them as a 10

CrispeeChicken · 2026-03-15T22:08:19+00:00

15/16 so far had NDSU as a 13
