By the way, that is a stacked bracket. Louisville and MSU are 2 of the 3 teams that I am considering to take to win it all, and they are on the same side. SLU and Memphis were in the same bracket as those teams last year, as well. I feel bad for OK State and Duke, who are both good teams that are very unlikely to have any shot at the Final Four.

And again, Oregon is an insanely strong 12. With that seed, they might have been playing for their tourney life yesterday.

Thats how they have been doing it. They put a couple of play in games as small conference winners in 16/16 matchup but then but the bigger names that just squeak in as a playin game at 11/11 level. Not sure why they did it that way though

I know they have been doing that, but what i think that says is that Oregon is only in because they were an Automatic Bid. Wouldn't Middle Tennessee have played in for the lowest at-large spot, or no?

Kansas as the #2 Overall seed? Ugh........

A lot of solid wins, but no great wins.

Yea, it seems like Oregon was a little closer to the bubble than we thought. They might have been in that play in game had they lost yesterday.

Yeah, or out completely.

That South bracket is much, much weaker. IMO, Florida is the best team there. Kansas is a super weak #1, and I think UNC takes them down in the Round of 32.

Could Gonzaga be on the 2 line? That would be funny.

Edit: Nope, they'll get the last 1.

 

[gobigred]

3rd #1 is Indiana with Miami as #2 in that bracket

 

[Smart]

Miami better be careful. Both Illinois and Colorado have very high ceilings.

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

LOL @ Cal and Colorado getting in...

 

[Smart]

Marquette as a 3 and Butler as a 6 is a very weak foursome. The bottom half of the East is begging for an upset run to the Elite 8.

 

[gobigred]

Gonzaga #1 in west with Ohio State as the #2?

 

[iowajerms]

I think so, I would rather have OSU first seed

It is Gonzaga

 

[Smart]

OSU, K-State, Gonzaga, and New Mexico are all still out there. Wisconsin heading to a 5.

 

[gobigred]

Boise State and La Salle got in.


Looks like the rest of the bubble teams got popped

 

[iowajerms]

Southern is 23-9 and won 19 out of the last 22 games.

 

[iowajerms]

Notre Dame vs Iowa State should be a good game.

 

[iowajerms]

Boise State and La Salle got in.

i thought La Salle won their conference

 

[gobigred]

i thought La Salle won their conference

No. They lost in quarterfinal of Atlantic 10 to Butler

 

[Smart]

i thought La Salle won their conference

No. They lost to Butler in the quarters (?).
