I have no idea how you put about 6 of these teams in over CSU.
Yeah really think CSU should have gotten in over Ole Miss and UCLA.

These guys are spot on about the power conferences getting the benefit of the doubt.

Clark Kellogg's sleeper to get to the Elite 8. 3-seeded Iowa State. Can't make this stuff up. Also, he says LSU is the most dangerous team to a #1 but he didn't know JARELL Martin's first name. What a clown.

Yeah that was terrible. I laughed pretty good when he said ISU was his sleeper lol.

Kellogg is awful. Thank God, CBS got him off the broadcast for the FF.

He does more Pacer games than he does college. As much as I dont agree with Gottlieb, almost ever, I respect that he watches college all year. Same with Seth Davis, etc.

Yeah I don't agree with a lot that Gottlieb says either but I at least respect his opinions because he played and I know that he watches CBB religiously. Always liked Seth Davis really liked his sleeper FF pick in UNI.

I can't understand the reasoning for UCLA making the tourney, let alone, being placed higher than 4 other at-large bids. It appears Dayton was the last team in: https://twitter.com/slmandel/status/577241949364625409

UD is playing Boise State not BYU. BYU is in the other play in game.

Yep even worse the committee had them ranked 42 overall. I would have easily taken CSU, ODU, and Murray State over them.

So I just got a call from someone for the State of Ohio regarding doing a survey for healthcare. He asked me if I was doing anything serious like driving or anything else that needed my full attention. I said "yes, I'm filling out my NCAA Tournament bracket." Foreign dude thought I was serious and asked when would be a better time... Was too funny.

This blow hard from Utah State. He's been asked the same 2 tough questions twice now. Why did UCLA get in and get seeded where they did? Who was the last team out if UConn stole a bid? His answers are pathetic.

First, UCLA has been "gaining steam." How? They lost 3 of their last 7. 5 losses to teams not even in the dance. In the worst of 6 power 6 leagues.

Second, who was out if UConn won? He didn't give a team first, then just said Dayton. Dayton? Asked about Indiana, he said FOUR top 50 wins in a "great" league. The 4th or 5th best league, depending what you go by? Miami, 3 top 50 wins, better SOS, far better league? Texas A&M 4 top 50 wins?

I hate the right side of the bracket. There's not 1 team that I want to pick all the way to the finals.

They have a beast at C, Mammadou NDaiye (7'6"). But, no, not really. And he wont be able to do much of anything versus LV. He can only play like 4 times up and down before needing to be subbed out lol.
