Does anyone actually have a problem with any of the teams left out? I feel like they are all weak.
Also, I really do not wish for the tournament to expand beyond maybe 4 more teams. I think this Tuesday would be much better if Miss State, VT, Seton Hall, Ole Miss had to play UTEP, Utah State, Florida, and UNLV or something rather than this dumb play in game.
I like two teams in the bottom half of the West bracket and they are Xavier and BYU. I think BYU got hosed in its seeding, but K-State is terrible and that will be on display when the two presumably meet. The X/Pitt game will be great, and BYU could play a virtual home game against the winner in Salt Lake with the right to play the Syracuse/Gonzaga winner.
The committee did a number on the 4/13 5/12 pods this year. While I don't necessarily think any team that was left out could get past the first weekend, I could have seen any of them above Florida, but think VT shouldn't have gotten in at all).
I'm pretty sure half of my Power 16 is in the West bracket which is cruel. Kansas is the most certain Final Four team of all regions because they are freaking Kansas, and the Georgetown/Ohio State winner won't do enough to interrupt Kansas' trip to Indy.
Both Syracuse and Kentucky got awful 8/9 pairings, and Duke got a pass for some reason, will someone please tell me? Okay, Duke is not that great, and neither are any of the team's in their pairing. They got Purdue, who has to come out of the 2nd best 4/13 5/12 pod ever, and Villanova. Don't bring up Baylor, that's not going to happen.
I agree with Bilas, this is a weak field and that is just going to make for a crazy three weeks.
interesting article lux...looks like good ole matty is drawing rather dead with by putting his eggs in the wrong big east team. should be an interesting weekend upcoming.
Who has a "easier" road
Ohio St or Duke
A lucasless mich st or north iowa or duke without hummell and then the winner of st mary's baylor...i like st mary's in that game
Dru, I'd have to say that Ohio State has a much easier road than Duke to the Final Four. E.T. should have little problem getting his boys to the Final Four unless they can be stopped by UNI's Wolfman and Ali.
Purdue will most likely defeat Duke as well. If not them, then definitely St. Mary's who will likely destroy Baylor.

God loves Duke. And so does the NCAA committee.
I haven't heard anyone talk about Seton Hall as a "left out" team which is a load of horse shit if you bring up Illinois instead.
Anyone else love this Vermont rematch for Cuse?
Should I be ballsy and go with Xavier in the final four? Vegasinsider brought them up and its a good play against Big Matt.

Vegas only has 12 games with double digit lines. Thurs to Sunday should be ridiculous.

Pretty funny. Take it Matty.
I wouldn't want that job if it was offered to me.
Are we doing some sort of Bracket Challenge for this Blog? If so people better post their picks for ridicule as soon as possible.

Nevermind, 40 but I think Matty is drawing dead.
interesting article lux...looks like good ole matty is drawing rather dead with by putting his eggs in the wrong big east team. should be an interesting weekend upcoming.

So looks likes this year will come to do Duke v WVU to see who will win...Matt are you alive. Stephen and I both tried to call this weekend....
I have missed calls from neither of you.
well glad to see you posted and we are happy that you are still alive.
