But I'll take it. I hope we can get past Winthrop and then probably Witchita State. I'd love to play UNC or Michigan State.

Still can't believe that UK (if they can get past a pesky UAB team) will draw UConn.

Good thing you said that, cause when I saw the Gators at a #3, and UT a #2 I was like, whats up with this??

But then look at Air Force...they came out of the blue!

So do computers or people really pick these teams? Makes you wonder.

Now I will openly admit TN shouldn't be a number 2, but I don't think that florida should be above them. Zaga, NC yes, florida no way.

Oh I agree, UF deserved their seeding, no higher.

UT plays Winthrop first. Why does Winthrop ring a bell? Did they upset someone last year?

I agree, I saw that and thought I was going to faint. Waaaay overrated.

WVU takes on Southern Illinios in the first round. I think we can handle 'em.

Totally think Cincinatti got screwed out of a spot in the tourney.

Thanks for posting. Good to see the Aggies in there.
Yup, congrats to the Aggies, but...

my Missouri State Bears got a kick to the gut... again.

Best RPI in the conference, and no love.

Still, we shoulda played better in the conference tournament.

Oh well, NIT here we come!

Same with Hofstra. 24 wins, 2-2 against George Mason, and no love from the committee.

Ya that's true, but we'd have to get through Texas first.

Really?!? And I wonder who he vote for...

You know, a lot of commentators are having trouble with the committees picks this year as far as trying to explain the "bubble teams".

I always have at least one 12 beating a 5, it tends to always happen.

16 out of the last 17 years!!!

Me, I have a formula that I use for my picks. I don't always win, but I'm almost always hanging around near the end.....
