This time of year you start thinking about how unjust the selections to the tournament are. UNC and Kentucky are certainly in, not because of anything they have done but solely on their name. Yet a team that has had a great season, like CofC will still be left out. Not fair but the big boys control everything and will not give up any of their money just because another non P6 team deserves to be there, instead of one of their .500 teams. Getting back to NC and Ky they are a combined 2-15 against quad 1 teams, if you give other teams 17 tries they might have a quad 1 win too. Wish rhey would make a rule that you have to have at least 18-20 wins to get an at large but that will never happen.

Kentucky lost at home to the gamecocks. They deserve to be left out because of that regardless of their record.

Kentucky is playing better, but they are certainly on the bubble. UNC is on the bubble too, as is Clemson. I have a feeling that the loser of that game today is out. CofC needs to get hot again, or they will be left out. They have a great story, and I would love to see them in the tournament. Back to the ACC, Jay Bilas speaks the truth about Clemson's chances. "ESPN’s Jay Bilas dishes hard truths on ACC, Clemson’s tourney resume."

They go down to Georgia today. I love to see the Wildcats lose.
