They're very good on offense, and very bad on defense. 22nd in adjusted offensive efficiency.

Roy vs. his old team. And I'm sorry, but an 8 seed? I thought for sure Carolina was a 6 or 7.

Absolutely they do. It's bullshit. Kansas and UNC got screwed horribly.

I really don't like New Mexico in OSU's bracket. They should have been a 2. I think the Lobos are coming out of the West.

After this year, that problem will solve itself.

Hate IUs draw. I would switch with Duke or OSU on the 2 line in a heartbeat. Fuck.

Yea, Indiana didn't get a very favorable draw, at all.

What don't you like about it? The only teams I would be worried about is Syracuse and Butler.

I think Indiana has a really good draw. They're the only team that I feel confident picking to the final four right now.

The guy they brought on from the selection committee...must've been reading off a teleprompter...had he heard of Dominic Artis before reading it on that screen? Likely not.

Oregon a 12? Seeded way below every other team in their conference...yet they win their tournament and finish tied for the conference title. Their excuse for the seed? "Oh, we had to drop them 1 seed line because of some technicalities." LOL. Fucking clueless.

Wouldn't shock me, I just meant as a potential matchup with Indiana. They've struggled some with slow-down, physical teams.

This they are already there in mine all the other regions are pretty wide open haha.

Azu I agree I laughed about that excuse too.

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

Oh, and his explanation on Middle Tennessee getting in? "Their ability to win on the road...you know, those tough road games at South Alabama, Florida Atlantic and Louisiana Monroe."

I don't care who got the last bid. It shouldn't have been MTSU, and I'm one of the biggest "mid-major" advocates out there. I mean Southern Miss had a better resume...and is a "mid-major."

Miami looks to have about a cake walk to the elite 8. That would be an awesome elite 8 game. Miami and Indiana are pretty similar

Where's a good place to get printable brackets with dates and times when they're posted?

Haha yeah. Azu, do you remember keeperbeast from the Huddle? She's going crazy about UK being left out haha. I was amazed to see that all the mid majors who were bubble teams got in.

Not me. I think they're getting a lot of love because of Steve Alford. They're good, but I'm more worried about ND than NM.

Middle Tennessee was the least deserving of all of the bubble teams considered.

Yeah, I do. I'm kinda glad UK isn't there. Too many problems and playing like crap. They didn't deserve it, although I do think they had better resumes than 2 or 3 teams in. With that said, there were 3 or 4 teams left out who also had better resumes, and better than UK (Tennessee included). Virginia and Maryland, it was a perfect storm for both of those teams to be left out.

I love the SEC but it just goes to show that when your entire league sans a few teams plays a dogshit non-league schedule (and loses a ton of those dogshit games), you deserve to be screwed.
