    You should have a blast. I've been to the first weekend games twice and to one Final Four and loved every minute of all of it.

    Why is KenCrooky a #4 seed, after beating Texas A & M who's a #3 seed?

    Agree: Don't understand how Mich. St. is not a #1 seed either.

    How is Villanova not in the East Region, when there a #2 seed?

    Big shocker: Duke is shipped out West.

    I don't mind A&M getting a better seed than Kentucky. A&M won the SEC regular season, beating Kentucky in the process.


    I just wish the committee wouldn't lie and say they don't try to engineer certain games. You can't tell me that they weren't trying to create a Texas/Texas A&M matchup with the winner possibly facing Oklahoma. Also, a potential Kentucky/Indiana matchup. You can't tell me those were just unintentionally placed like that. Instead of lying about it, they should just tell the truth and say "yes, we wanted those matchup".

    One team with a huge axe to grind with their seeding would be Notre Dame. They beat Duke twice and finished ahead of them in the ACC, yet Duke is a 4 and ND is a 6.

    there is 3. Krystkowiak, Oregon States Wayne Tinkle (who also used to be at Montana I believe - another Jeff connection?) and Chattanooga's Matt McCall.

    I think every Big Ten team got 1 spot higher then they should have been (except Michigan who was lucky to make it in). IU got hosed and stuck in a tough region. State getting a 2 seed is hard to justify considering they are ranked 2.

    They actually tied, but yeah, Texas A & M beat KenCrooky in the regular season at Home in 2 OT. KenCrooky beat them on ther way to the SEC Tourney Title on a neutral court. I hate KenCrooky, and i love to hear Calacrooky cry, but he'll use this to his advantage that got seeded behind A & M with his team

    I agree about the comittee setting up potential matchups.

    Great point about Notre Dame getting the shaft. And look how Duke gets in the West, which i won't be surprised if they make the Elite 8. At least the Sweet 16.

    Tied, ok. To me that's just the whole everybody's a winner mentality. A&M was the 1 seed in the SECT, thus they were the real regular season champs.

    automatic bids for tourney champs is stupid.

    Seeds are overrated. It's all about match ups. You either catch a break there or you don't.
