Buehrle>Wood Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 The SC didn't want to do the racist thing by picking the SWAC school, even know they had an RPI 70 spots worse than Mt. Saint. Mary's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Everytime they go to the ESPN studio to start a show, everyone is straight up with good posture...except Knight, who is slouched over and looks like he doesn't care. I find it hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 VA Tech better not get in, nor should ASU (ASU sucked balls down the stretch and big wins be damn they shouldn't be in). Arizona should be in. OSU should be out cause the Big 10 blows balls. I actually have Kentuck in because they played strong down the stretch (although they had a bad tourney loss). Kstate is in but they definitely weren't impressive down the stretch (But they weren't as bad as ASU was down the stretch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they had some solid wins and a tough schedule. Plus they played in the best conference in the land and no one is going to convince me there is a conference better than the PAC 10. Committee gets the #1 seeds right and 3 of those 4 teams are going to be in the finals, imo (UNC/UCLA/KU). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 16, 2008 -> 05:10 PM) IU got a major screw job. The committee said they were taking a lot of stock into how teams play in their last 12 games. I don't agree with that logic, but if you are using that logic and look at the league IU is in, it's not too far off. I'd still say they are more like a 6 though, so they were a bit underseeded.

This isn't a triple threat match this year, is it? No I just indicated that those were my 3. I believe Stanford to be my 4th, but that would be dependent on them being in Memphis region. Otherwise Memphis could be my 4th or some other team in that bracket. Aside from that, barring some matchup I really hate, I freaking love the hell out of KU/UCLA/UNC when it comes to going deep in the tourney. SUcks for Tennessee, Butler is a rough 2nd round matchup (how the f*** Butler is a 7 seed, I don't know). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Midwest: 1. Kansas 16. Portland State 8. UNLV 9. Kent State 5. Clemson 12. Villanova (Whoa!!) 4. Vanderbilt 13. Siena 6. USC 11. Kansas State 3. Wisconsin (thought they might get a 2, but the committee appears to not like the Big 10) 14. Cal-State Fullerton (this should be interesting around the boards...) 7. Gonzaga 10. Davidson 2. Georgetown 15. UMBC Kansas State vs. USC is fascinating, i'm very surprised Villanova got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I have bets with a KSU person and a USC person. My bet with the KSU person is that Stanford goes farther (i made it about a month and a half ago when both teams were seeded similarly) and than I had a presason bet with an USC fan regarding UCLA going farther than USC (we all know how much I love UCLA). So barring a disaster for Stanford/UCLA, I will at least win one of the bets and therefor will be nicely covered. My other tourney bet involves KU and Memphis as I picked KU going further than Memphis about a month ago (this was when Memphis was still undefeated). I will be interested to see whether all my mouth running and betting pays off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I am perfectly content with those teams that didn't get in. The teams that didn't get in, didn't deserve it. I think the team that had the best argument is Illinois State and they were hurt because there conference wasn't quite as strong as its been in years past. Arizona is a team I wouldn't want to play if they happened to wake up, cause good god are they talented. I also am already picking the baylor over purdue upset.
