The only number team I was sure was going to kill us (ILL) was UCONN and look who we get.

Every member of this years committee should be fired for this bracket, for every reason possible.  What a joke, and it goes FAR BEYOND just Illinois.

 

I second that. These brackets are f***in horrible.

Am I missing something? Why did Tennessee get a 2 seed? What's their logic?

No logic, both Illinois and UNC should have been ranked ahead of them, how sad.

ILL did get screwed, but they'll be fine IMO.

 

Should be in the Sweet 16 and then anything can happen.

It's almost like they got Illinois and Tennessee flip-flopped

Maybe they were confused by the orange that both teams wear?

Tenn. played poorly down the stretch faltering early in the SEC tourney as well... I am speechless

I'm in utter disbelief right now. Even my dad, who doesn't know a whole lot about college basketball, is like wtf?

Yeah, the seedings might suck but what's the difference if we lose to UConn in the Sweet 16 or in the Elite 8?

Maybe they were confused by the orange that both teams wear?

I wouldn't put it past them after seeing some of this.

I like the Air Force matchup, and Washington plays no defense and relies on all offense. So despite the screw job, I like the matchups in the first 2 rounds. But then UConn...and bye bye.

Anyone know what time the ILL game might be on Saturday (assuming they beat Air Force)? Later than 5?

Game times will be known either late tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks Rex.

ILL can beat UConn. I wouldn't just give up on that right now.

I don't like having to play Washington all the way out west

UConn will beat us by 20 if they are interested, which they will be since it's the big time now.

It might play out that way, but that is the same kind of thought I had in 2002 with IU staring at Duke. I'm glad I was wrong.

I know Illinois fans are pissed about the seeding BUT I believe the winner of them and Uconn gets to the final four, actually there is no doubt in my mind.

UNC gets to play MSU in Ohio in the 2nd round as a 3 seed, how fun.

This is such a strong region, strongest by far IMO, which is saying something with the s*** 2 seed that Tennessee is.

I would just like to say that Mo State and Creighton would beat the crap out of Air Force.

I've already got Wichita St beating Tenn in the 2nd round.

UNC gets to play MSU in Ohio in the 2nd round as a 3 seed, how fun.

 

But there are more Illinois fans on this board, and you know what they say about the squeaky wheel.
