LOL, we missed one team, but it was Arizona while San Diego State was out.

Seriously, though, a 5 seed with Gonzaga as the 4, Syracuse as the 3 and Oklahoma as the 2? Oh yeah, UNC is the 1. :evil:

None taken. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

I'm guessing Illinois will be a 6 or 7 seed at this rate.

That's official, there are not 8 Big Ten teams. Otherwise, there would have had to be one in the bottom half of that West bracket.

that just makes me mad. I figured PSU would be ahead of Arizona, but they seem determined NOT to have 8 Big Ten teams Honestly, with Arizona in and Utah a 5 seed, there may not be 7 Big Ten teams in.

I could totally see an ND-Northwestern game.

Man, our bracket didn't even make the list. What a crock. ;)

One try at a legal bracket: Midwest East South West 1. North Carolina 1. Pittsburgh 1. Louisville 1. Connecticut 16. AB St./Chat. 16. Morehead St. 16. Radford 16. Morgan State 8. Oklahoma St. 8. Butler 8. Utah 8. Tennessee 9. Wisconsin 9. BC 9. LSU 9. Michigan 4. Syracuse 4. UCLA 4. Washington 4. Florida State 13. Northern Iowa 13. W. Kentucky 13. ND State 13. S.F. Austin 5. Xavier 5. Illinois 5. Purdue 5. Gonzaga 12. Miss. St. 12. Cleveland St. 12. VCU 12. Siena 2. Memphis 2. Oklahoma 2. Duke 2. Michigan State 15. ETSU 15. CS Northridge 15. Robert Morris 15. Binghamton 7. Texas 7. BYU 7. Ohio St. 7. California 10. Maryland 10. Minnesota 10. Texas A&M 10. SD State 3. Villanova 3. Wake Forest 3. Kansas 3. Missouri 14. Cornell 14. Portland St. 14. Akron 14. American 6. Arizona St. 6. Marquette. 6. West Virginia 6. Clemson 11. Dayton 11. USC 11. Utah State 11. Temple The only actual seed I switched was Ohio State and Utah, since there were too many Big Ten teams on the 4/5/8/9 seed lines.

Mississippi State in. Who would be out between Dayton, Penn State, SD State and Maryland? I'm leaning towards bumping Penn State, simply due to the awful non-con.

Also, if I had to guess what team we'll miss, I'd guess Creighton or St. Mary's, with PSU/Maryland/SD State out.

So, looking at a bracket straight from the S-Curve (without applying bracket rules or locations yet), we have: REGION A REGION B REGION C REGION D 1. North Carolina 1. Pittsburgh 1. Louisville 1. Connecticut 2. Memphis 2. Oklahoma 2. Duke 2. Michigan State 3. Wake Forest 3. Villanova 3. Kansas 3. Missouri 4. UCLA 4. Syracuse 4. Florida St. 4. Washington 5. Gonzaga 5. Xavier 5. Illinois 5. Purdue 6. Marquette 6. Arizona St. 6. West Virginia 6. Clemson 7. Utah 7. BYU 7. Texas 7. California 8. Ohio State 8. Butler 8. Oklahoma St. 8. Tennessee 9. Wisconsin 9. Michigan 9. LSU 9. Boston College 10. Maryland 10. San Diego St. 10. Minnesota 10. Texas A&M 11. Dayton 11. USC 11. Utah State 11. Temple 12. Miss. St. 12. Cleveland St. 12. VCU 12. Siena 13. Northern Iowa 13. W. Kentucky 13. ND State 13. S.F. Austin 14. Cornell 14. Portland St. 14. Akron 14. American 15. ETSU 15. CS Northridge 15. Robert Morris 15. Binghamton 16. Alabama St. 16. Morehead St. 16. Radford 16. Morgan State 16a. Chattanooga EDIT: Fixed to include Mississippi State. Removed Penn State.

Another chip in MSU's cap is that both non-conference losses happened without Suton in the lineup.

Using an extremely scientific method, here's how the auto-bids that weren't locked for at-large bids are ordered: USC (Pac-10) Utah State (WAC) Temple (A-10) Siena (MAAC) VCU (CAA) Cleveland State (HORZ) Mississippi State (SEC if they win) Northern Iowa (MVC) Western Kentucky (SB) North Dakota State (SUMMIT) Stephen F. Austin (SL if they win) American (PAT) Akron (MAC) Portland State (BSky) Cornell (Ivy) East Tennessee State (ASun) Cal State Northridge (BW) Robert Morris (NEC) Binghamton (AE) Morgan State (MEAC) Radford (BSouth) Morehead State (OVC) Texas SA (SL if they win) Alabama State (SWAC) Chattanooga (SC) Yes, Chattanooga came out dead last, even below the SWAC team. So, taking those and adding them to the current S-Curve (assuming the better team wins both tournaments where the loser is out), we have (after alterations) 1. North Carolina 2. Pittsburgh 3. Louisville (BE) 4. Connecticut 5. Michigan State 6. Duke (ACC) 7. Oklahoma 8. Memphis (CUSA) 9. Wake Forest 10. Villanova 11. Kansas 12. Missouri (B12) 13. Washington 14. Florida State 15. Syracuse 16. UCLA 17. Gonzaga (WCC) 18. Xavier 19. Illinois 20. Purdue (B10) 21. Clemson 22. West Virginia 23. Arizona State 24. Marquette 25. Utah (MWC) 26. BYU 27. Texas 28. California 29. Tennessee (SEC) 30. Oklahoma State 31. Butler 32. Ohio State 33. Wisconsin 34. Michigan 35. LSU 36. Boston College 37. Texas A&M 38. Minnesota 39. Penn State 40. San Diego State 41. Maryland 42. Dayton 43. USC (Pac-10) 44. Utah State (WAC) 45. Temple (A-10) 46. Siena (MAAC) 47. VCU (CAA) 48. Cleveland State (HORZ) 49. Northern Iowa (MVC) 50. Western Kentucky (SB) 51. North Dakota State (SUMMIT) 52. Stephen F. Austin (SL if they win) 53. American (PAT) 54. Akron (MAC) 55. Portland State (BSky) 56. Cornell (Ivy) 57. East Tennessee State (ASun) 58. Cal State Northridge (BW) 59. Robert Morris (NEC) 60. Binghamton (AE) 61. Morgan State (MEAC) 62. Radford (BSouth) 63. Morehead State (OVC) 64. Alabama State (SWAC) 65. Chattanooga (SC)

Mostly because the world has been spoon fed crap about how the Big East is the best conference ever all year. All the while, the ACC has been the #1 conference all year.

Statistically, it would not surprise me to see Pitt, UNC, Duke and Michigan State as the #1 seeds, despite Louisville winning the Big East championship and ten straight. They just didn't have the numbers going into the conference tourney. Either way, it'll be 4 of those 6 that get them. Oklahoma and Memphis just don't have a case.

I'm picking for 2nd and 3rd rounds: Sean Rodriguez, 2B, Anaheim and Danny Cortes, SP, KC.

I had two names on Friday, let me go find them again...

Lot of auto bids yesterday with Akron, Utah State, Morgan State, Alabama State, Missouri, USC, Temple, Cal State Northridge, 4 bids for today with the favorites being Stephen F. Austin, Duke, Tennessee, and Purdue. Mississippi State could still ruin an at-large team's chance.

Memphis doesn't have the profile for a 1 seed, but they have the profile and "momentum" for a 2 seed.

I think Duke, as much as I despise the free pub they get on ESPN, has a case for the 4th 1 seed. UNC, Pitt, Louisville, Duke.

USC's win bumps a team off the bubble. According to our list, that team is Arizona, coincidentally.

Was something wrong with McCamey other than "useless"? I didn't see him the entire second half.

Has Legion done anything productive this year?
