"Ok, just sit on Tom's lap and smile constantly for two minutes during the interview. No, it won't look creepy at all, really."

 

"And whatever you do, DON'T BLINK."

"Make sure you look at what's going on off-camera too."

Oh I want that Midwest #2, I want it badly.

I want that NIT bid, I want it badly.

 

This year sucks.

I hope that was his kid?

Tom Crean is the creepiest coach ever.

Yay Michigan has a camera where they are watching the show. The last 2 times they made the tourney, they watched it at Crisler Arena. This year it looks like they are in a film room or something.

It'll be Ohio State, just for spite.

Seems pretty clear they're protecting Kentucky from a road game against KU or Mizzou, now it's just a question of which one.

Cue rage from abuck.

Shaka will be a nice consolation prize.

Did you guys not seed VCU? I'm not seeing them in your bracket. Edited March 11, 2012 by illiniguy

12 seed - Midwest

They're there now, I forgot to put them back in after swapping in St. Bonaventure in the bracket.

They are on the S-curve at 47, but I don't think they are on the bracket. I think they should be playing 5 seed Creighton in the Midwest region, as he has them playing 12a/12b winner, but also has 12a playing 12d. Either a very busy weekend for Miami or bukie made a very rare mistake.

UNC is the one in St. Louis. I have a feeling they won't give UNC a potential road game, so I figure OSU is the #2 seed in the Midwest.

I FIXED IT.

[illiniguy]

I missed it, is Duke playing in North Carolina again?

[illiniguy]

Ouch Florida in the second round? That jobbing at the Phog keeps on hurting Mizzou.

[UMFan83]

WOW Iona in...wonder who is out because of that

[Guest]

Florida and Marquette. Swear words.

[Guest]

I didn't know they could do a play-in game for a No. 14 seed. I thought they had to be No. 11/12 seeds.

Iona!?

I'm curious if they bumped it to adhere to the BYU rule.

No, wasnt one of the games between 13 seeds last year?

[UMFan83]

Ugh, this means that if Michigan gets a 3 seed and manages to get to the S16, their opponent is almost certainly going to be Kansas, since I don't think they are allowed to be matched up with OSU.

 

Maybe Michigan goes down to a 4 seed to avoid Ohio State. I'd be fine with that. I'd probably rather play UNC than Kansas I think. Not Syracuse though, they'd mop the floor with UM.

One was an 11 (VCU) and the other a 12 (Clemson).
