If you are a fan of either team, be unbiased and don't expose the team
B
thought it was funny/unprofessional that the sideline reporter told Team A's best player "congrats on making the NCAA tournament" after one of their conference tournament wins. what a jackass
I'd go with team B. Their bad loss isn't even that bad of a loss. USF was good this year and losing @USF isn't really a bad loss IMO. They've only got 1 less win vs. RPI top 50, better RPI, and stronger SOS. The only thing in team A's favor is that team B has a 1-7 record vs. top 25 and team A has a 3-3 record vs. the top 25.
And how does dook get the #3 one seed and Syracuse the #4 1 seed? Syracuse got sent out West?? They just got jobbed for winning the Big East while dook won a very down ACC.
Team A is Illinois. Team B is Seton Hall, who I don't really see talked about as far as getting into the tournament.
Seton Hall needed one more win and they would be clearly in IMO. I think they still have an outside chance though. They can certainly beat some higher seeded teams.
