    Probably being a fan and knowing my teams weaknesses. lol.

    Im hoping you are all right, but I HATE NCST in RD2. Syracuse is always a wildcard since only BE teams go against the zone and Miami is a horrendous match-up for IU. They have great guards with solid post play...almost a mirror image. IU struggles with teams who rebound as a team, like Miami. Plus, fucking Butler is in their region. I think they lose early, but still, fuck Butler and their magic in March lol.

    Thanks...btw, were you surprised by KU getting the second #1 seed, or did you expect it?

    edit: sorry if you addressed this earlier, but I didn't go through the entire thread

    They are a very good defensive team, they are going to be a very tough out. As a nd fan Ohio st shouldn't be worried. You will probably play Iowa st anyways.

    Kinda interesting to look at this...

    Does anyone know of a link that has the bracket with the pod locations included (I realize that tv times might not be available yet)?

    On the Akron/VCU front, here's a picture of Keith Dambrot wearing a VCU shirt he got from Shaka.

    Thanks.

    Wow. Ohio St. got a great draw. I'm pencilling them and Indiana to the Final 4 now.

    The UK fans on my facebook are absolutely losing their shit.

    Same here. Not sure what they expect. The team was a sweet 16 destination at best without Nerlen. If nothing else this might keep guys from declaring for the draft. What's better, an early round knock-out or perhaps a chance to prove themselves in the NIT? I can understand the disappointment, but other teams (e.g. Virginia) had a better claim to being in the Big Dance.

    Azu I agree I laughed about that excuse too.

    As a Duke fan I'm dreading Creighton in round 2 lol.

    As a Duke fan I just hope they can get past the Albany Amoebas

    I'd say they are idiots. The "name" means nothing, at least it shouldn't.

    UK w/Noel, not even on the bubble.
    UK w/o Noel, not deserving of a bid.

    I mean, it's that simple. The injury derailed them, not some arbitrary selection committee.

    I wasn't surprised they got a 1 seed, a bit surprised to see them get the 2nd overall. But I do think it's warranted, as they had more wins against RPI top 50 teams than anyone in the country and some great road wins.

    New Mexico has a couple good big men, Ohio State has none. If the Buckeyes double New Mexico has shooters. They will score on Ohio State. I don't know if Ohio State can score enough on them.
