First off I said nothing about the NCAA tournament. If luck had nothing to do with Maryland winning the ACC tournament, if Maryland actually was the best team in the ACC, why did they lose 9 out of 16 games in the ACC? Once again I am not putting down the ACC. But if luck has nothing to do with it the higher seed should win every game. If Maryland actually was the best team in the ACC then why did they lose 9 games?

Just because a team wins a tournament does not mean they're lucky. That's ludicrous. A team can hit a streak and be playing the best basketball of their season at tournament time. Was Villanova the best team in 85? NC State the best team in 83? Kansas in 88? No, but they found a way to win. luck has very little to do with it.
I saw every game of the ACC tourney and I can assure you that Maryland did not win because they were lucky.
