14 losses, no top tier wins, bad losses to Michigan and Rutgers. I feel like with that resume, we would have been seeded as an 11 if we made the tournament at all. Frankly picking JMU to beat them was one of the easiest picks of the first round.
They beat Marquette in December and Purdue last week

Although ND's first game in the tournament. As a two seed, they had a first-round bye. JMU beat Georgetown in the first round to advance to play ND.
I was at that game.

Unless my aging memory is off, that was players at the Providence sub regional.
Ainge also played there. He was absolutely unconscious.

Danny Ainge, though I despise him, was one of best athletes
