Rex Chapman really needs to quit bitching about Kentucky and calling them 'we'.

Embarrassing.

And he wanted to know why Missouri got in over Kentucky. Because UK beat Missouri.

 

Who thought it was a good idea to hire him?

[bukie]

John Hollinger, of all people, is pitching a fit that Boise State got in over Virginia.

[Cubswin11]

When are game times announced?

When are game times announced?

I think they're usually announced late Sunday. They will definitely be known by the morning.

[UMFan83]

First 6 out: Alabama, Iowa, Kentucky, USM, Tennessee, Virginia. According to truTV show.

 

Interesting that Tennessee was the 5th team out. Lunardi had them as his 1st team out.

 

Sucks for Iowa to know they were probably in if they werent jobbed against MSU

Is Illinois the only team to beat two different #1 seeds this year?

Butler beat the same 2.

[pitchcs]

No way UK gets in. No way.

[bukie]

Interesting thought, every single "snub" was a middling power conference team, and every one of the last 4 in were all mid majors (if that for MTSU).

Butler is seeded too high.

I agree, and there's a mini Maui retread going on in the bottom half of the East bracket.

[pitchcs]

I did notice MQ could be up against Butler again. I was at that first game when Arkansas guy hit the game winner.

 

Both of those teams, MQ and Butler, are so overvalued. I, like a couple others, have Bucknell beating Butler. And then I also have them beating MQ.

I think they just listed them alphabetically. But yeah Iowa is probably in with the MSU win. Or closing out any 2 of the 7 Big Ten games they lost by 4 or less, 5 of which they led in the final minute. Hell they might have been in if MTSU won their conference tournament and/or Missouri didn't gag to end the Ole Miss game.

[pitchcs]

Do people realize how good Mike Muscala is? Andrew Smith, and Butler, are in trouble.

[pitchcs]

First look:

 

Wisconsin murders Ole Miss

VCU murders Akron

Saint Louis murders New Mexico St.

Cal >> UNLV

Belmont > Arizona

Oregon > Oklahoma St.

Florida GC (+Pts) vs. Georgetown

NW St. (+Pts) vs. Florida

Montana (+Pts) vs. Syracuse

 

Final Four:

 

Louisville

New Mexico

Kansas

Miami

 

Louisville > Kansas

[pitchcs]

My preseason/in season Final Four were: Michigan, NC State, Louisville & Creighton/Florida/Indiana. I thought about Michigan St at times as well.

[Guest]

It seems the popular thing to do is not put any big 10 teams in the final four.

[rawaction]

My in-season Final 4 was Louisville, Florida, Michigan and probably IU. After filling out my brackets, I have Louisville, Florida, Miami and New Mexico.

The best bets are Mich St, Michigan, Ohio St and IU. I have talked trash about the Buckeyes all year, so I couldn't pick them. I want to pick IU, but I just don't know with them. Michigan St. has the #1 team in its bracket and Michigan has to potentially get thru Kansas and either Florida or Georgetown.

Hahaha, athletic big men against the Wear twins. Can't imagine UCLA will win.

 

If you would have seen Minnesota the last 2 months any game besides IU you wouldn't be so concerned. They can look really good but they also can play extremely dumb and fold up their tents easily. They've struggled mightily against zones.

 

Too bad Ben Howland never zones, even with an unathletic team that can't handle man defense.

 

Minnesota has been a disappointment over the second half of the season, but if they show up, you're going to get blown out (imo). It's a bad draw for UCLA.

 

Having said that, it's hard to say which Gophers team will show up.

[SouthSideRyan]

Seth Greenberg has 7 elite 8 spots taken by 1s and 2s(Florida was the other), then a final four of all 1s. Thanks for the contribution.

[Smack]

Purdue accepting a CBI bid. Figured they wouldn't after losing to Nebraska.

Yeah, I'm not picking UCLA and I definitely could see a blow out.
