Reposted on: 13.3.12 2131.43 | Top reason why the Tourney can't start quick enough: Once the games begin, maybe then Digger will stop bitching about a team that lost to Rutgers not getting in the Tourney. If Holy Cross beats ND in the first round of the NIT, does that mean Digger takes a very long nap?
Somehow, I don't like any of the 1 seeds getting to the Final Four, and only 1 getting to the Elite Eight. In Roy We Don't Trust is usually a good motto.
Gratuitous Cheap Shot from someone whose team couldn't make the NIT with a returning 1st team All-American: Grimis, how is the NIT tourney pool going?

What the Hell do I know?
Good to see the Orange win the Big East, but seem somewhat slighted getting the #4 seed, when UCONN gets a 2...
Bummed out that Buffalo didn't make it too. Really thought the MAC would get 2 teams. Certainly since the Missouri Valley got three.... I certainly think they lost out because Utah St and New Mexico won their conference tourneys....
I think this tourney is really wide open. Usually I can see some obvious 1st round upsets, but this year I don't think anything is that obvious. There are, however, lots that could happen. None of the 3-4-5 seeds are really invincible... Then again, none of the 10-14 seeds seem like locks to pull an upset either...
I think the 2 seeds are stronger than in the past. I see more of them getting to the Final Four than 1 seeds...

Reposted on: 14.3.12 1229.01 | Hmmm...I may have to examine this.
2 solid rules to live by:
1) A #12 always beats a #5. I'm thinking UW-Milwaukee over "Roll Over Tide" Alabama. (EDIT: Told ya so!)
2) Never pick more than 2 #1 seeds to make the Final Four.
And in the women's tourney...all your base are belong to the UWGB Lady Phoenix, baby!

I'm usually terrible at these things, but I do have fun. I don't think 'Bama is going to be the 5-12 upset either...but I hope I'm wrong. It'd be nice to see the Wisconsin teams make it further into the tournament.
Good luck everybody! | chuckc14

Kennedy Winston (Bama's all-SEC forward) might miss the opener with an ankle injury suffered in practice so don't be so sure yet...I picked Bama and I'm kind of worried. | Rudoublesedoublel

Bama always seems to lose when I pick them, but I had difficulty picking against them, especially since I think they're a Sweet 16 team with their draw. | Oliver

I think it was the guy who has the ticket scalping concession at the Carrier Dome who made the East Bracket so top heavy. |
