NCAA Championship Week

[cjwct]

wow how did Maryland make it in and St mary's didn't?

I can't believe the badgers made it in, I think Creighton could beat them!

Maryland beat Duke and UNC in the SAME SEASON . . . that spoke volumes!

 

[Ramy]

Morehead State is in the play-in game.

I think Ramy just had a heart attack.

I figured they would be, that sucks.

 

[SabresRule]

Maryland beat Duke and UNC in the SAME SEASON

Maryland did NOT beat Duke.

You're thinking of Boston College.

Without a doubt the Midwest is the toughest bracket:

1. Louisville
2. Michigan St.
3. Kansas
4. Wake Forest


WOW!!!

 

[Ramy]

Got a few quick thoughts on the bracket:

My overseeded teams- Michigan State, Villanova, Illinois, UCLA

My underseeded teams- Utah State, Clemson, Arizona State

(No way is Maryland supposedly higher seeded than Utah State!)

Possible Elite Eight mega showdowns: UNC/Oklahoma and Duke/Pittsburgh could be epic.

I think the team that will get the most "why were the snubbed" news will be Penn State.

Penn State got snubbed; Arizona did NOT deserve to get in (IMO, Wildcats only got in based on their reputation, history, and mystique)

If Arizona gets in then KY should have gotten in.

Who are your nominees for "most overseeded team?"

I already gave you my picks.

Well Arizona got in. Im not the smartest college fan out there but I dont think Arizona should've gotten in. Its almost like high school, popularity runs rampant over anything else. I dont see how Arizona gets in yet Penn St. is out and so is San Diego St. as well as St. Mary's. The Power Conferences, popularity, runs rampant over some of the smaller schools that shouldve got in.

mea coupa . . . tired

 

[BillD1984]

How does Villanova get to play potentially two games in Philly?

Arizona had some big wins: Kansas, Gonzaga, UCLA, Washington.

Personally, I'm livid the Wildcats got in (what really stings is I thought Utah was overseeded, and just when I was about to say that they'd go out early, along comes Arizona!)

I don't know . . . match ups and potential match ups look balanced

 

[Mariah2014]

Penn states non conference schedule was like playing a bunch of dii teams (outside of the acc/big ten match ups) as far as the ncaa people were concerned.

Well Arizona got in. Im not the smartest college fan out there but I dont think Arizona should've gotten in. Its almost like high school, popularity runs rampant over anything else.

I already gave you my picks.

Overseeded: Villanova (3), Xavier (4), Illinois (5), UCLA (6), Boston College (7),

 

[cjwct]

How about a potential #12 versus #2 Elite 8 in Midwest: Arizona and Michigan St?

 

[SabresRule]

Overseeded: Villanova (3), Xavier (4), Illinois (5), UCLA (6), Boston College (7),

We agree on three of them!

I'm surprised you're taking a shot at your beloved Eagles- I thought you wanted a high-seed for your alma mater.

 

[Skyhi]

Wow. The midwest region is absolutely brutal!

 

[SabresRule]

How about a potential #12 versus #2 Elite 8 in Midwest: Arizona and Michigan St?

Arizona ain't getting by Utah.

Also- call me crazy, but I am calling for a #15 to beat a #2! Spartans are going DOWN!

 

[BillD1984]

Underseeded: (4) Wake Forest, (5) Florida St., (8) BYU, (9) Tennessee

 

[BillD1984]

Wow. The midwest region is absolutely brutal!

That's what I'm saying. The second toughest region isn't even close to the Midwest.

 

[Skyhi]

Arizona ain't getting by Utah.

Thats awfully bold. I don't think the Big 10 is real strong this year, but Mich. St. isn't going down in the first round.
