WTF is going on?

And there is another one. Very strange. 99% of the time that's a foul.

I don't ever want to see Missouri play in Boise again.

Maybe they could flip flop and drop UCLA to the 6 seed, too.

Eh... I don't like all the Big 10 love. I don't think MSU is a #1, and I think the 5/6s could be pushed down a little. I don't see how a 6-loss Big 10 teams gets the nod over a 4-loss Big East team.

Mizzou and OU should be swapped, but I guess the Tigers don't have any superstars that would get 60% camera time and interviews with the parents even if he wasn't playing.

Kansas is probably safe as a 3... Syracuse had an epic tournament run, but didn't have any huge signature wins in the regular season. FSU had a good tourney run and beat a Lawson-less UNC, but didn't have any huge wins outside of the Clemson Collapse.

Syracuse beat us and Memphis in the non-con.

I missed Memphis... but, I really wouldn't call Kansas a signature win 5 games into the season.

Just looking at some of the potential first and second round games... can't wait for the brackets to come out to see Kansas' matchups. It's going to be a tough road, unlike the first few rounds last year.

tk13 · 03-15-2009, 02:12 PM

I don't think that's a terrible bracket, not sure about Michigan State being a 1 seed though. I think if they won the Big Ten I would've considered it. As much as everyone hates the Big Ten on this board... Izzo's teams are usually competitive in the tournament.

I love how teams that are on the bubble complain. If you can't make a 64 team tournament sit down shut up and **** you.

I'd agree with you if it was the best 65 teams in the tournament. But it's not.

I like at the way it is because I don't want a tournament with the 65 best teams. You would have a first round upset all the time. Instead of a #1 - #4 seed playing Morgan State, you would have to play a Kentucky or a Baylor.

The reason why shitty teams are in there is to protect the #1 thru 4 seeds mainly. There's not a huge reward in college basketball as it is for how well you play in the regular season. Because as long as you are the top 34 at-large teams..you have a shot at the championship.

I'd personally rather see a smaller school get in there than a team that finishes .500 or worse in a BCS conference anyway. If those teams want their shot, they have their conference tourney to do it... just like Baylor almost did.

I don't disagree. I was just responding to that post about bubble teams not bitching. The difference between the last team in and the next dozen teams or so is negligible.
