I don't like that Maryland team, after picking them to win it all through December lol. They don't play as a team and for some reason just don't look like a team ready to win 4 games.

ND I like with the right draw.

I know it is said almost every year, but this seems like a wide open tournament where not much would actually surprise me

KU (Midwest) UNC (south), MSU (east) should be the top 3....

Should be UVA and Oregon as top two seeds in West

Will definitely be interesting to see if Oregon gets the #1 seed in the West. They're high in the RPI, plus they won the regular season and PAC12 titles.

I would probably prefer that Carolina go to the South instead of potentially playing Nova in Philly, but not if it means playing UK in Louisville.

Yup, this is going the full 2 hours. Usually the 1 seeds are announced within 5 minutes.

If the goal is to rank the best, you can't go in saying "the second best team in a conference cannot be better than the champion of another conference"

That being said, I think MSU is better regardless.

Seems like they're gonna put MSU in the Chicago regional to "reward" them for not being a #1 seed, but they didn't wanna pair them with Kansas.
