WVU's best players are guards, but they rebound like possessed madmen and were one of the best in the country at doing so. They're also big which will help them against UK (also big).
-
International Bowl supposedly going out of business.
-
I see that Old Dominion doesn't shoot well from 3 - outside the top 100 in the country. That's a good sign for ND, whose biggest defensive struggles since they remade themselves have come from hot outside shooting from the opposition.
-
I saw them beat Fairfield. :wink:
-
Notre Dame being the 2nd game of the whole tourney to tip off could be awesome or horrible depending on how the game turns out. It will be much different than their last two trips when they played late-night Thursday (08) and afternoon Friday (07) in the 1st round matchup.

Georgetown/Ohio State could have easily been a Final Four matchup for me if the brackets had been arranged differently. Instead they're slated to meet in round 3. And KU/Ohio State could have been a championship game matchup. As it is I think the winner of that wins it all. I'd love to see OSU win it. Two Illinois boys Turner and Matta doing well. I have them winning it, but I don't feel good about it. I don't think there's any team I'd feel good about picking this year, though, especially out of the Midwest. My usual Big East homer picks aren't as bad as they usually are, mostly because I have Pitt going out early. I still have 6 of them in the Sweet 16 and 4 in the Elite 8 though.

Cornell and Siena winning one game. Louisville, Xavier and Notre Dame winning two.

I have no 11s winning and a Final Four of all 2s. No 1s miss the Sweet 16 either - the lowest seeds I have in the 16 are Xavier and ND, both 6s. This is a horrible bracket I have. I think I'll be tinkering, which I never do, but I feel so awful about these picks.
-
61 teams within one seed line too if I'm correct. (Cal, Marquette, Texas)
-
I have OSU, KSU, WV and Nova (seriously, the South bracket is a mess...why am I picking Nova to go anywhere?). I hate these picks.
-
Early upset picks? I took Siena over Purdue (2nd-guessing my original pick because I wanted to pick a 13 - it was down to Murray and Siena) and Cornell over Temple. But so far I have all the 1's and 2's in the sweet 16.
-
I found this quote over on Adam Schefter's Twitter and I shake my head. Cleveland going from possibly getting Jay Cutler to Peyton Hillis and two late rd draft picks for Brady Quinn, is the main reason why they are the Browns. I may lose it if they draft Jimmy Clausen, as ESPN's John Clayton is floating. That franchise is poison for skill position players.
-
Dang it. I don't know who to pick between Kansas and Ohio State. Whoever wins is my champion, I think. I have OSU down for now.

When did you start hating the ACC so much? I don't hate the ACC. I think they were weak this year and Va Tech shouldn't have been in. I'm not alone (obviously). I seem to recall you saying that only 5 teams in the ACC deserved a bid. Also, you were begging to get Duke and complaining that they were ahead of Syracuse and West Virginia, when Duke is number 1 in Pomeroy's and Sagarin's predictor rankings. EDIT: Also, the ACC is #1 is Pomeroy's conference rankings and #3 and Sagarin's. Out of the ones though I would want them as well. And really I don't understand why even a Duke fan wouldn't get that. Kansas has Aldrich and ND would have had no answer for him whatsoever. Kentucky is super-athletic - beatable but incredibly talented. Duke is a team with Zoubek, who while tough is no Aldrich, and they aren't going to run you off the court athletically. It's perfectly reasonable. And the ACC had 5 good teams this year - if you consider Wake a good team. GaTech managed to get a good win over Maryland in the ACC tourney otherwise they'd have been out, if you ask me.

Dookie V is, not shockingly, whining on Va Tech's behalf.
-
Jay Bilas: "Cornell should've been a 5."
-
Duke got the weakest 2, the weakest 3, an injury-addled 4, ridiculously overseeded 6/8/9s...that's a stupidly unfair draw in their favor.
-
My only thought is that they decided to weight ND's performance as their 'new' team. This is incredible. Baylor will be a tough out, but I can't believe we got that draw.
-
ND is a 6. Wow.
-
Notre Dame maybe.
-
What the hell is going on?
-
Pretty sure the rule is only for the first two rounds. In the past though, they have always kept them apart til the Elite 8. I'm a little nervous now.
-
What? They've got 2 BE teams in pods next to each other (can meet in the 16). That breaks one of their rules.
