^^This^^ UNC belongs, whether I really like it or not

I think my Dad said it best. If you can't even win half the games in your conference, you don't belong in. 6-12 Texas has no business being in the tournament. Texas has one of the worst OOC schedules in the country, lost to tOSU, lost to UCONN and barely beat 'Cuse and NCSt as OOC wins. Oklahoma actually has some good wins OOC and started the season 13-0 beating Michigan, Louisville, and Arizona among others, then finished the season by only winning 6 conference games. Frankly, any conference having over 20% of the field is dumb and some limit should be placed on this for the future, which could actually curb a bit of expansion (or force conferences to break away from the NCAA?) PS: UNC lost to Alabama, Auburn and Florida from the SEC. So did Texas, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Georgia....you get the picture. Heck, even Tennessee lost their first tries against Florida and Auburn (beat them both the 2nd time they played)

UNC does not belong in NCAA tournament
BAMAHOKIE 03/16/25 10:47 PM ET
The UNC that plays defense deserves to be in.
OrlandoHokie 03/17/25 11:13 AM ET
Nope...but I will pull them against any SEC team**
Tuckahokie 03/17/25 08:54 AM ET
Disagree, UNC is a better squad than the last 5 SEC teams in the field

Texas managed to play the worst two teams in the country based on NET.

Half the Big XII was like this last year

This was driven by TV execs. They understand the value of brands.

I'd be upset IF it bumped-out VT, but getting another ACC
VT757to276 03/17/25 08:22 AM ET
Makes us relevant? Is that the thought?**
JackDSML 03/17/25 11:28 AM ET
IMO..Qualifying for the tourney is goal 1
VT757to276 03/17/25 11:36 AM ET
The same is true.....
2hhoop3 03/17/25 08:21 AM ET
Yep. Some/many want to see them lose to a Cinderella team. "Must see TV".**

UNC AD is the Selection Committee Chair
Walkin` Willie 03/17/25 06:58 AM ET
Or if the ACC's rep for the selection committee is from WF...

TomTurkey 03/17/25 12:40 PM ET
Agree. But they still might make the Sweet 16.
KCHokie2 03/17/25 06:53 AM ET
Yes they do. It's Texas that doesn't belong.
HokieAl 03/16/25 10:55 PM ET
I don't think either belonged. Texas way worse than UNC, IMO.

Read this after I posted above under sofla. Egregious Texas isn't getting

One of those embrace the power of “and” situations…

I think just WVU, but then Ohio State had an almost identical resume as TU
reestuart 03/17/25 01:01 PM ET
WVU yes, Indiana is absolute garbage, nothing about them says NCAAT
soflahokie 03/17/25 09:24 AM ET
They’re all crap at the bottom…
Gator Hokie 03/17/25 10:27 AM ET
Remember those years when VT finished 4th in the ACC, and were left out?
EDGEMAN 03/17/25 05:59 AM ET
I remember one of the snubs and that idiot AD from OSU said they also...
