Proud of this VT team though. Only 7 guys are playing at this point due to injuries and we're hopefully gonna go dancing!

I agree...looked like you were playing one of the Carolina teams.

It was just so blatant because they'd been calling everything up to that point, but that's when they chose not to blow the whistle.

Oh well. At least this way the team will get some rest before appearing in the NCAA Tournament (at least that's the general consensus, barring a huge snub by the committee).

UNC stay a 1 seed? I think so barely.

I think they should. What happens to Louisville & Duke? Cards drop to a 3 or 4? Duke climbs up to a 2?

Impressive comeback from Duke and impressive wire to wire win for Notre Dame.

This is what Lunardi has currently, and I added RPI numbers as of 1pm. Teams in bold still have a game to play, maybe 2 for UK.

1: Villanova (1), North Carolina (4), Kansas (2), Gonzaga (8)
2: Oregon (6), Arizona (3), Kentucky (5), Duke (9)
3: Baylor (11), Louisville (7), UCLA (15), Florida St (13)
4: West Virginia (23), Purdue (20), Butler (14), Notre Dame (22)

From what he's said on ESPN today, the first 10 I listed (Nova through Louisville) are his top 10 on the S-curve in order. For UCLA/FSU/teams on the 4 line, I don't know his exact order.

At the 4 line you get some RPI numbers that wouldn't say "Top 4 seed", but I think WVU and Notre Dame have been and are currently playing like Top 4 seeds going off the eye test for me. ND is really hurt by their non-conference SOS. I could see Purdue as a 5 seed.

If Duke wins...they could move up to the 4-6 position...
