  Like when OSU had the "overall" #1 seed, and had by far the toughest bracket.
• wildcats20

  

  Kansas the overall number 2 seed. Hmm..
• Mulva

  

  Possible UNC-Kansas 2nd round matchup.
• wildcats20

  

  An 8 for Carolina? Wow.
  
  2nd round vs Kansas.

  Saint Louis got caught in traffic, didn't make it back in time... they're watching the selection show at a Best Buy in NJ.

  Wow, tough region for Kansas. UNC is a nasty 8 seed
• ironman02

  Fuck the NCAA selection committee!! They do that garbage on purpose.
  
  Roy vs. his old team. And I'm sorry, but an 8 seed? I thought for sure Carolina was a 6 or 7.

  Shaka Smart was an an assistant with (2003) and under (2004-06) Keith Dambrot at Akron, so some history there.
  Dambrot was actually in Smart's wedidng.
  
  They were matched up in a Bracketbuster a few years back.
  
  
  Also, Smart hates playing them because of how close they are

  Well Florida looks like a sweet 16 lock.

  I thought the same thing. No way I thought UNC would be an 8.
• se-alum

  

  So is Gonzaga or Miami off the 1 line? Guessing Miami.

  Same thought here. Maybe this explains their late season swoon. Being an 11 seed here a ton easier path to the SS than being an 8/9.
• Mulva

  

  UNC went 2-8 against the top 50. 8 seems about right.

  May be a bit low but it is an opportunity to pull off an opening weekend upset. Wouldn't be the first time it happened.
• ironman02

  Carolina's reward last year for their #1 seed was to play Kansas in St. Louis. The injury to Marshall screwed that up, but now they possibly get Kansas in Kansas City. That'll be awesome, I'm sure. lol
• se-alum

  

  Indiana is the #1 in the East, I'd guess that locks OSU into the West!
• fan_from_texas

  Tough draw for KU in round 2. UNC is a tough 8 seed.

  Gonzaga will get the last 1
• Mulva

  

  lol Gumble.
• ts1227

  

  Ohio State basically a lock for 2 in the West now

  6 of those losses are to Indiana, Duke, and Miami, but I see your point. I still think an 8 is low.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Indiana to the Final Four
• Mulva

  

  The bottom half of this bracket is terrible.
• Terry_Tate

  

  West has to be Gonzaga, Ohio State, New Mexico, with Wisconsin a 4 or 5
• Cleveland Buck

  

  2 is the best Miami was going to get. With some of the losses they had they are lucky to get it.
