2012 NCAA Basketball Tournament

[BillD1984]

Championship Week is in the history books, and now it's on to the Big Dance! The brackets will be revealed in a matter of minutes.

Despite losing in their respective conference tournaments, Kentucky, Syracuse and North Carolina are all locks for #1 seeds, IMO. The fourth #1 seed? It probably comes down to Kansas or Michigan St. I think Rock Chalk Jayhawk will get the nod.

 

[BillD1984]

I predict Sparty, Mizzou, Ohio St. and Duke will be on the "two line".

 

[BillD1984]

Kentucky, Syracuse, UNC and Michigan St. get the #1 seeds (in that order).

 

[BillD1984]

South Region: Kentucky-UConn in a possible blockbuster second round matchup. UK-Duke possible Elite Eight.

 

[BillD1984]

Syracuse-Ohio St. setting up for an Elite Eight showdown in Beantown!

 

[CK SatGuy]

Alright! 3 teams from the state of Michigan are in: Michigan, Michigan State (a #1 seed!) and University of Detroit!

Great! I always get excited this year time of year and NCAA Tournament hockey action!!!

Man, Uconn's going to earn it this year by playing Kentucky in Round 3 (still call it round 2 as it should be but thats something different) if they get that far. What about Memphis as an 8? They won there tourney. Surprised there an 8? That Wichita St./VCU sounds very interesting.

South Region: Kentucky-UConn in a possible blockbuster second round matchup...

That would be a serious F-n grudge match. Calhoun is certain that Calipari had to have pulled something to beat him out for Marcus Camby.

Missouri has a winnable West region- I'll be shocked if they or Sparty don't reach the Superdome from that region

I also like Mizzou coming out of the West, but don't sleep on Marquette.

I have yet to look at the brackets...but I do like my 'Cuse alot.

Just in case any of you haven't seen it, I set up a new bracket for Satelliteguys on CBSSports.com. Some people were having a hard time joining the old one. Here's a link to the original thread if any of you are interested in playing...

What a comeback by Western KY tonight! The Hilltoppers trailed Miss. Valley St. by 16 with a little over 4 minutes left, and came back and won!

What do they get for a reward? Be a sacrifical lamb to top ranked Kentucky

 

[meathead76]

Amazing come back by Western Kentucky
Down 16 with 4:52 left and they come all the way back to win by 1
