Also, is it me or the number 1 seeds a total crap shoot this year? I mean nothing is settled yet, not like other years.

Also, the Uconn/Syracuse game will be replayed. ESPN Classic to replay six-OT classic twice Sunday (Watchdog) - Newsday.com

Ill tell you I think Syracuse could be a dangerous team in the tourney. I think there a sleeper for me. You play a 6ot game, then a ot game and win!!! They've played 3 games in 3 days and just think they'll be a dark horse.

True, but watch out for two conspiring factors:

1. Could fatique set in?

2. Do they draw a dangerous team early on?

Who do they got in the WAC Final?

Auburn defeats Florida.

The Gators bubble has burst!

Hats off to Auburn. They are coached by former Tar Heel Jeff Lebo. I wasn't sure he'd work out down there, but Auburn has come alive lately. They've won 9 of their last 10.

Good point on this. The Orange could very well be running on adrenaline right now, and that could carry over to tomorrow night. However, fatigue could set in after being off for 4-5 days, after playing essentially five games in four nights.

That being said, I WOULD NOT bet against them.............NO WAY!!!

San Diego St beat BYU in the other semi.

When they thumped LSU, I thought this team was going to do damage in the SEC Tourney.

I think they may have punched their ticket tonight.

Awesome job by Syracuse. I can't believe they played another OT. But remember a few years ago when they went on an icfredible run to win the BE Tournament with 4 wins in 4 days the Orange were dead in their first game of the NCAA Tournament. Could happen again.

San Diego St beat BYU in the other semi.

That's the MWC.

Don't feel bad, I do the same thing all the time, getting Mountain West, Big West, Big Sky and the WAC mixed up. :up

They're moving up the ladder. I don't know if they've got enough to get an at large yet, but they're still alive and with 9 wins in their last 10 games Auburn is definitely giving the selection committee something to chew on.

Depends on who they face.

They faced an A&M team with Acie Law- their opponent may or may not have a hot hand.

He said Utah. I guess he meant Utah St. How are there so many teams in Utah anyway?

Anyway Utah St is a team that better not get cute. They have a good RPI but have beaten nobody. If they lose in their tournament you can bet their bubble will burst.

Just to be clear it's Utah St. NOT Utah.

You quoted my post before I could fix it.

My bad.

Yeah but that was a rotten game all the way around. I think Gerry McNamara ended his career with like 3 points. He was just whipped.

Yup, I don't think Utah St. gets in without the automatic bid.

No worries.
