A Sea Of Red

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

Kansas is the number one overall seed.

Kentucky the east #1.

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

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

Tennessee gets a SIX seed with a 14 RPI.

And with wins over Kansas and Kentucky.

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.

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

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

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

East Region:

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

Wake/Texas is the 8/9.

Cornell gets Temple as a 5/12.

South region:

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
