WilliamTell Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 (edited) Doesn't look like Michigan gets win with UAB, Seton Hall, and Bradley among others getting in. Will UNI get in? I can only hope. Edited March 12, 2006 by WilliamTell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 They wouldn't have the winner of the play-in game play against a #2 seed would they? If not, then Villanova will likely be playing in Dayton, which would kill Ohio State's chances of being near home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 (edited) #1 Villanova #16 Monmouth/Hampton play in winner  #8 Arizona #9 Wisconsin  #5 Nevada (huh? Nevada AND Washington 5's?) #12 Montana  #4 Boston College #13 Pacific  #2 Ohio State (no surprise) #15 Davidson  #7 Georgetown #10 Northern Iowa  #3 Florida #14 South Alabama  #6 Oklahoma #11 UW-Milwaukee  More upset potential in this thread...#11, #13, #10 that 8 vs. 9 matchup is great. Interesting.......to me, this region seems pretty meh. Edited March 12, 2006 by whitesoxfan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Best bracket this year in my opinion. First 4 seeds are all legitimate final four contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 I'm never sold on Florida in the dance, and Boston College has a recent history of tourney s***. In terms of THIS YEAR, I guess this bracket is tough...but I can't ignore the recent past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of THIS YEAR, I guess this bracket is tough...but I can't ignore the recent past. Â I like both teams because of their strength inside with a great shooting PG running the show. This team is different from the soft Florida teams of the past, as Billy finally learned he had to build inside out, and you won't find a better 4-5 combo than Horford and Noah.

Iowa should have been the 3 in this bracket, but I agree this is a much more normal bracket. I also think its the easiest one cause all the brackets screw jobs left some pretty good teams seeded too low, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I also think its the easiest one cause all the brackets screw jobs left some pretty good teams seeded too low, imo. Â 1 seed: comparable to other brackets, maybe the 3rd overall 1 seed. (Nova) 2 seed: arguably best 2 seed in tournament, OSU w/ Texas neck and neck 3 seed: arguably best 3 seed in tournament, UF w/ Iowa neck and neck 4 seed: comparable to other brackets, four very good 4 seeds. (BC) 5 seed: clearly behind Pitt, but arguable with the others (Nevada) 6 seed: worst 6 seed in tourney, admitted (Oklahoma) 7 seed: arguably top 7 seed in tourney, (Georgetown) 8/9 seed: Ariz/Wisc. as good of a matchup as any other 8/9 matchup. Â This bracket has 7 of the final top 25 teams in the nation in last weeks polls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be a good bracket, but I still think Oakland is the most wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 This bracket is really tough. I can't really see Villanova surviving this bracket. A lot of my sleeper Final Four teams ended up in this bracket. It's going to be a real pain to pick them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think playing Georgetown in the second round could be an interesting game. The Hoyas have enough size to make life difficult for OSU in the paint on both ends, which is a major problem since OSU hasn't been hitting their 3's at a very high rate of late.

Â Definitely a solid point on the first game, I'm just jumping ahead of myself. Honestly, at this point I'm seeing the teams I like and occasionally glossing over another pretty solid team in my haste (I totally forgot that Kansas plays Pitt in the second, and I'm already worrying about them playing Memphis ). Â I can't wait to see how this bracket plays out. It should be very interesting, as there seem to be a lot of strong teams. Honestly, I kind of wish the committee put a team or two in a different bracket to balance things out more. But with the Minneapolis region being so loaded and my personal belief that there are a lot of suspect teams in the Oakland region, it should definitely be an entertaining tournament.
