Here we go... the best time of the year is in full swing.

[ToTheLeft]

Kansas is the number one overall seed.

[ToTheLeft]

Kentucky the east #1.

[ToTheLeft]

Duke is the South #1, and the Cuse out west.

[ToTheLeft]

Maryland gets a 4 seed. Winthrop won't play Kansas.

[ToTheLeft]

Tennessee gets a SIX seed with a 14 RPI.

[WinthropEagleFan]

Tennessee gets a SIX seed with a 14 RPI.

And with wins over Kansas and Kentucky.

[ToTheLeft]

Syracuse gets Vermont... good drama.

Gonzaga/FSU as an 8/9. Good game.

Butler/UTEP is the 5/12

Vanderbilt faces Murray State as the 4/13 (BJ got some face time with the trophies.)

This is a good bracket.

[ToTheLeft]

Florida gets BYU, "bubble" Gators get a 10 seed.

[ToTheLeft]

This bracket contains ALL of my favorite teams. DO NOT LIKE.

[Th3rd]

glad the Gators made it in... think they will take BYU... though im pretty sure that KSU takes the bracket

[ToTheLeft]

East Region:

Kentucky gets ETSU... means Winthrop will get Duke, I guess?

Wake/Texas is the 8/9.

[ToTheLeft]

Cornell gets Temple as a 5/12.

[ToTheLeft]

South region:

Duke gets the play-in game. Ark-PB and Winthrop. Ruh Roh, Randy.

[ToTheLeft]

Purdue without Hummel will get Siena... Ruh Roh...

[ToTheLeft]

Nova gets a 2 seed, and will play Robert Morris.

Richmond gets a 7 seed. They get St. Mary's. GOOD game.

Baylor gets a 3 seed.

NOTRE DAME GETS A SIX?!?!?!?! WHAT?!?!?!?! That's a joke.

But they get ODU. HAHAHAHAHA. Go to work, Monarchs.

[Th3rd]

make some noise Monarchs... make us Virginia schools proud... o yea Richmond you can make some noise as well

[flamesbball84]

kansas got screwed. they got the second best #2 and arguably the best #3, #4, and #5. what kind of reward is that for the supposed top seed overall? heck, 2-10 you really can't make an argument for any region being tougher than the midwest, it's not even close.

kentucky, the second #1 seed, gets a west virginia team that could have just as easily been a #1 as syracuse was.

meanwhile, duke gets the worst #2 in villanova, a now terrible #4 in purdue, and a joke with notre dame at #6. more duke favoritism, not a surprise there.

[Cider Jim]

So if Winthrop gets the play-in game, does that mean they were less than a 16th seed?

[ToTheLeft]

In a way, yes.

Which means we're three times worse than a less than a sixteen seed. And two times worse than a 7 seed in the NIT.

It's all about TV ratings & $$$.

So it's only logical that the selection committee provided the Blue Devils - tournament-chokers for most of the last decade - a relative cakewalk to the Final Four. Duke, the alleged third No. 1 seed, is in the bracket with the weakest No. 2 (Villanova) and No. 3 (Baylor) and No. 4 (Purdue).

Meanwhile, the Jayhawks draw No. 2 seed Ohio State, the team many believe deserved a No. 1, and No. 3 Georgetown and No. 4 Maryland. Every expert I heard Sunday stated the obvious: Kansas is in the toughest bracket in the tournament, and Duke is in the easiest.

No. 4 (Purdue).

To me that is the real joke. They were a 4 seed in November. They should be a 12. They're so bad right now.

Shows you just how good Hummel is. It's a shame for him to go out with an injury.

[olldflame]

Purdue was at least a 3 before Hummel's injury. Probably a 2. I agree that a 4 is too high, but you can't really discount everything they did before and knock them down as low as a 12, even if that is how they are playing now.

[PastorZack]

Texas A&M has a 12 and probably a 13 before getting to play a home game against Duke in the Sweet 16, then square off against Baylor in Houston for a trip to the Final Four.

I like that bracket!!! Hey Sly, have fun with Kentucky.
