They still have Kansas a #2 even after getting whooped by Baylor and Tech. If KU gets a 2, I will shit myself and not change my drawers for weeks. No freaking way.

Do you know how you can get 7 teams to lose in the first round? Invite 7 Big 10 teams to the tournament. What a joke.

I don't see anyway possible that the Big East doesn't get three #1 seeds this year. That has got to be some sort of record.

I'd much rather play UCLA, Arizona State, or even Marquette.

Oh God, here comes Knight with his 300+ team tourney idea.

Yeah, West Virginia is going to be a tough game.

It is kind of cool how both Mizzou and Kansas could play a Big East team in the second round... there have always been a lot of Big 12 fans who don't like the Big East and ACC, so it could be a rude awakening if the fifth and seventh teams in the BE beat the first and third teams in the B12.

I think it's going to happen. The Big East is good.

First we gotta get by NDS, though....

That's exactly what I said.

I actually saw NDSU play when ESPN was showing their WTF conference tourneys. If we lose to them, I will be furious.

But WV is very VERY good, and unfortunately Thuggins can coach. Then if we happen to win that one we get Michigan State :doh:

I started filling out my bracket and was very close to putting 3 of them in the final four. I'll sleep on it tonight, and come back in tomorrow and might put the 3rd one in.

Yeah...I remember their white guard hitting a clutch shot to win over Oakland.

Mich. State was one of the few teams that had an easy time with KU this year. Not good. Our bracket is quite awful.

**Buehler445** · 03-15-2009, 05:19 PM

Did Creighton get in?

I thought that was weird, too. Dad said they were saying that OU would be fighting for a 1 seed had they won the tourney (but, as KU fans remind us, tourney place means squat). Wasn't BG player of the year? Maybe that had something to do with it.

a valid point....they came up 2 pts short against St Mary's....and had some other close calls...but no "big wins".

I guess the argument is the RPI....and the "mediocre conference record" argument another poster made....

Do you reward a mediocre season (.500 or worse) in a major conference over a good season in a mid-major, or sub-major if you will, conference?

Tough call.

I just dont like the East Coast Sports Network's slurping of east coast teams....and Arizona (they have always had a man-crush for Lute Olson).

If at least two of those big three don't get there, I'd be very surprised. Syracuse is capable of beating anybody in the NCAA, too.
