Mar 23 6:37 PM - #1 Gators Fan Maryland vs Princeton: NCAA opinion vs My opinion
Princeton: UNDEFEATED. UK is so overhyped, it's absurd. Princeton is so underhyped, it's absurd. Under-rated so badly that they get not a 2 seed, a 4 seed, a 5 seed, or even a 6 seed. THEY GOT A #8 SEED WITH A 30-0 RECORD. Completely blind-sided when they finish without a single blemish on thier record.
Maryland: A standard-grade #1 seed. Playing at home.
The question stands: Would a loss to Princeton be an upset, or a predicted loss?
