34 at-large bids to give out, here's how I see it... ACC BC NC State UNC Big East Cincinnati Connecticut Georgetown Marquette Pitt Villanova West Virginia Big Ten Ohio St./Iowa loser Illinois Indiana Michigan Michigan St. Wisconsin Big Twelve Kansas/Texas loser Oklahoma Texas A&M Pac 10 Arizona Cal Washington SEC Alabama Arkansas Kentucky LSU Tennessee Others Bradley George Mason George Washington Missouri St. Northern Iowa UAB Wichita St. Bubbles Burst Seton Hall Hofstra Utah State Florida State Creighton Maryland Air Force Colorado I think that's everyone. The team's that I'm not to sure about are Michigan, George Mason, and the Missouri Valley teams. I think Seton Hall could very well get in over one of these teams and Hofstra might get in instead of George Mason.

Bucknell vs. Holy Cross is starting up. Bubble teams around the nation are cheering for the Bison.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 10, 2006 -> 01:38 PM) 3/10 Bracketology http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/bracketology I don't agree with Michigan and Seton Hall getting in over Hofstra and George Mason. Maybe one of the two but I think that one of either Hofstra or George Mason deserves to be in.

QUOTE(The Bones @ Mar 6, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) My Predictions (I need some practice for the real thing): Thursday #8 Penn State over #9 Northwestern #10 Minnesota over #7 Michigan #6 Michigan State over #11 Purdue 3 for 3 on the day.

Wake beats FSU 78-66. Does FSU get in?

Michigan should've have tried for 2's the last 2 possessions instead of launching and missing 3's.

Wake Forest up 63-59 on FSU in the ACC tourney. If FSU loses I don't think they should be in the tournament.

Things are not looking good for Michigan right now.

I don't see it happening though. It has been proven in the past that the championship game has no effect on seeding. The committee already has the brackets made before the championship is over.

Don't forget that Bucknell needs to win their championship game. One of either Memphis or UAB needs to win the C-USA tournament. Nevada needs to win the WAC. All of these conferences could potentially steal at-large bids if these teams don't win.

Penn State beat Northwestern 60-42 and will play Ohio State tomorrow. Michigan needs this win against Minnesota to get in.

Oral Roberts, Wisc. Milwaukee, and South Alabama all won their conference championships tonight to get automatic bids into the tournament.

One of the first players I liked in baseball when I was a kid. RIP Kirby.

Good stuff. I look forward to hearing more throughout the season.

Well, I don't have any money on these picks so I'm not too worried.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Mar 5, 2006 -> 07:55 PM) Did they do the "In Memorium" part yet? Nope, not yet.

Ben Stiller presenting the award for visual effects was pretty hilarious.

They called the foul on GW, if the guy doesn't react like an idiot, the game is basically over. Instead, he throws not one but two elbows. There's no excuse for that.

The guy didn't just throw one elbow, he did it twice. Either way, GW won't be doing much in the tournament.

A big win for Cincy over West Virginia should get them a bid into the tournament.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 11:02 PM) Anyone seen Dave Chappelle's "Block Party"? I saw it tonight and I loved it. It's really all about the music, which is great, but of course it has some funny parts too. It was definitely an entertaining movie. The movie does a great job of blending the concert performances with backstage footage and preparations for the concert. You can tell that Dave is having a blast putting the show on. I only hope the DVD will have the option to view the performances in their entirety along with plenty of extra behind the scenes footage.

If you like what you see above, I fully recommend Mulholland Dr.

So...I just watched Mulholland Dr. and I don't know what to say about it.

I should also mention that if UAB beats Memphis tonight they'll probably be in.
