ShinyHubCaps Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Georgetown #2 in Midwest. Surprising, but not everyone can be a #1 seed. And they are playing UMBC, first ever NCAA appearance.I feel badly about saying that I'd ride Louisville to the Final Four, because they're a #3 seed.

Money changed hands between the Pac 10 and the committeeTemple's a 12....UMass ain't in.Pitt (4) will not be in the Sweet 16 (again)Saint Mary's a 10? Wow...Kentucky an 11?! Illinois State better be in or I call shenanigans.... On 8/1/2010 at 4:01 PM, winters in buffalo said: You manage to balance agitation with just enough salient points to keep things interesting.

RyanB06 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Call it anyway...I bet Illinois State's bubble just popped with UK getting in.Also means Connecticut has been shipped out west. Probably a 5 seed, if I were a betting man.

gingerbreadmann Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Wow. SEC Champs. They'll probably get a 10 seed or so.Awesome!They got a 14. Though I think Illinois State, Dayton, and UMass(but that's bias)should have gotten in. Villanova, UK, and Ka State should be out. When do we hear the NIT?Oh, and everyone should go register(free!) at NCAA.com Madness on Demand for a VIP account so you can see all the games online live.Wow,CBS Sportsline's bracket has gotten uglier and uglier every year. But that is the bracket. I will make my own for everyone that has all the info on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 West: 9 seed for A&M seems high.Drake gets a 5 at least....ANNND plays a Midmajor (Western Kentucky)Arizona gets a 10...Xavier with the 3 (!) playing 14 seeded Georgia (Can't force the majors to face the hot team... )And Baylor gets in even though they lose in the 1st round of the Conference tournament.----------------------------------------------------OK...open letter to the committee...does the tournament "count" or doesn't it? Because what I see here is a couple of bubble teams getting in with opening round losses (which is to be expected with what happened on Thursday) but this is at the expense of a team or two that did make a run.In ISU's defense...they GOT to the Conference Tournament Finals...which cannot be said for a Kentucky team that lost in its first tournament game to the LAST PLACE TEAM IN ITS DIVISION!!! They lost to Gardner-Webb....AT HOME!!! All they have is 12-4 in the SEC, which IMO is equaled by ISU's solid second place in the #8 RPI Conference in the country. But hey, Kentucky brings TV ratings, so let them in. As well as Michael Beasley State...

BB61 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 So, the Big Five got three teams -- Temple, St. Joe's and Villanova. It's ashame that they'll all be out in the first round.And I hate to tell you, Pasquale, but the Patriots will get knocked out in the first round.

rams80 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Annnd Bob Knight is the first guy this year to suggest a 128 team tournament this season. 2 Final thoughts....Arizona State probably should have been ahead of Arizona by virtue of the season sweep (and better Conference standings)I don't like the trend of the last two years of the committee pitting the good mid-major teams against each other in the 1st Round. The only way the midmajors can prove themselves is by playing the big boys, therefore it logically follows that they should have more opportunities to do so.

-kj Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Annnd Bob Knight is the first guy this year to suggest a 128 team tournament this season. And he's also saying that the automatic bid needs to go away. Knight remains a wacko, and needs to drink a piping hot cup of STFU.You know, why don't the BCS conferences just break away from NCAA and have their little money party? That's what Knight and Jay Bilas seem to want. Buy some t-shirts and stuff at KJ Shop!
