OK so give me an argument for VCU and UAB.

This is mindnumbingly awful. Good lord. Holy awful.

From an X standpoint, I don't think I can have a bigger smile drawing Marquette. Now the buzzsaw that is named Syracuse is a lil bit different..

Yeah....Harvard was deserving. They are the ONE team that I wanted to see get in. VCU is garbage.....Harvard would kill them.

I'm not saying they deserved to be in. I'm saying that other undeserving teams being left out doesn't constitute a screw job.

This is entertainment like no other. I've never seen anyone get trashed as hard as VCU is.

VCU deserves it - they peaked by beating UCLA in the 'consolation' game in the preseason NIT (which likely UCLA couldn't even care about)...other than that their schedule/record sucks. They might be the worst at-large team ever in the tourney. I've watched many of their games - they aren't terrible by any stretch of the imagination but all they do is chuck three's. If Skeen gets in foul trouble or has a bad night they can be beat by anyone. They had no business even being in consideration for an at-large.

Buckeyes bracket isnt too bad. I would have liked to see SDSU or Florida as our #2. BTW: How the hell did Florida get a 2 seed?

ESPN is just ripping UAB.
First glance final four: OSU, Arizona (getting by Duke and SDSU), Kansas and KSU.

Did they watch the UK/Florida game earlier? How do the rankings for those two make any sense at all?

It is a joke, but they have said for years that these conference championship finals don't hold any weight. Is it stupid...yeah, but it is what it is.

That makes no sense. UCONN is a 3 seed and I'm sure it was because of their run. Wisconsin fell to a 4 seed I'm sure to losing in the B10 tourney the way they did.

I don't know about that. Does Penn State get in if they don't make it to the Big Ten Championship game? ~95% of mid-majors only hope to be in the position that their Conference Champion is in.

I laugh at Dickie V, don't fall into the Nova/Big East superiority trap this year.
