qwerty Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Remember that teams may have originally been a seed higher, but had to be moved down to accommodate teams from the same conference.Not totally surprised about no SMU. The selection committee doesn't love Larry Brown like ESPN and they had some really bad losses.I'm not shocked that SMU got passed over for NC State. The Wolfpack reached the ACC semifinals... SMU flamed out in it's opening game in the American. Simple as that.SMU is probably going to the NIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raysfan12 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 The Midwest is this year's "Region of Death." Wichita St. alongside Duke? Michigan? Louisville? Kentucky? Sheesh.Also 3 of the top 4 seeds of the region went to the Final Four last year so that makes it even tougher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Gotta say, I really like Florida's region and they really have no excuse to not reach the Final Four. The toughest foe is a banged up team that they've already played this season. Wichita State, oh man that's rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAWeaver Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Final Four/Champ. Game predictions:SOUTH - Florida, beating Albany, Pitt, VCU, and SyracuseEAST - Michigan State, beating Delaware, Harvard, Virginia, and Iowa StateWEST - Arizona, beating Weber State, Gonzaga, SDSU, and (barely) WisconsinMIDWEST - Louisville, beating Manhattan, St. Louis, Kentucky, and (barely) Michigan in a Champ. Game repeat from '13Michigan State beats Florida, pulling away late with <1 minute to go in the game, while Louisville dominates for most of their game against 'Zona, winning by a final margin of 10-15 points. Louisville wins in a 5-7 pt. game against Michigan State to repeat as champsLet the criticism begin @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I can't believe Syracuse is a 3 seed. They bombed out at the end of the season; I wouldn't at all have been surprised to see them as a 5 or even a 6.I think it's really all academic, anyway. No team is as good as Florida this season, and I think the title is theirs to lose. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 All five people on Bracketology all chose Michigan State. Damn, they're going to be boned if MSU gets upset at some point early on. It's not that they're wrong, it's just the surprise in seeing such a diverse opinion seeking topic being universally agreed upon like that. It literally never happens when there isn't a consensus best team (a la 2012 Kentucky). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally never happens when there isn't a consensus best team (a la 2012 Kentucky).I'm a little surprised that so many people are picking Michigan State for the same reason. That's who my pick is, but I think this is one of the years that it's wide open. I think MSU is definitely the best team when they're at full strength, but that's rarely been the case. They rolled through the Big Ten Tournament, but Gary Harris got knocked up and missed a good amount of time in the second half today.For the homer portion of my post...Illinois got a 2 seed in the NIT and will play at Boston U. and Indiana didn't make it, no complaints here.
