But shouldn't the #1 seed get that? That was my problem with OSU's last year.

Memphis is a few seeds too low. The Big East champion. New Mexico is a very good team. Missouri should have been a 1. They are loading up against Sparty.

Yes I agree the 1 seed should get that. Just hasn't happened the last 2 yrs

In 1996, Kentucky lost twice.

Non-conference vs UMass.
SEC Tournament final vs Mississippi State.

They beat UMass in the Final Four.
They had already defeated Mississippi State that year.

I love UK's bracket. Revenge vs UConn, Indiana and Duke. Interesting.

That's right.
Florida a 7 seed?
That's a little low considering they have been in the top 25 all year.

The last two regions probably are tough with powerhouses. Because the first two does not impress me at all.

I would too except UConn 2nd round. Depends on which Uconn shows up.

Wow. Murray State gets round 1 in Louisville as a 6-seed.

Marquette gets owned there as a 3...

Don't understand how two play for 14 seed. Is the NCCA seriously trying to say there are three 16 seeds better than a 14 seed in this tournament?

Their 16's are mostly shit conference champions, that 14 A/B game is worst at large's.

I think the Bubble is so weak that they are fighting for a 14 seed. I didn't know the committee had that freedom...

Lunardi says it's probably a 14 instead of a 13 because of BYU's "no Sunday games" policy.

UConn scares me, but they have knocked UK out of 2 of their last 4 NCAA Tournaments. That's a very dangerous, but does have a revenge factor. Same with the IU match up.
