So ISU drew UConn in the first round, with the prospects of facing Kentucky in the second...  ...well, at least they are in it...

Long Beach State just because humanity's favorite #12 seed in the tourney... No way Duke was getting a 1...even I can see that...I think there were at least four or five other teams more deserving and the fact they finished their regular season with a beatdown from UNC and then to end the ACC tourney with a loss to FSU...yeah, wasn't gonna happen. |

Iona? A 14 at large? When's the last time an at large was ranked so low? |

A little surprised Mizzou is the 2 seed in the west. You could make a case for them being the 1 seed, but at the least I would think they are a 2 seed in the midwest. |

I love the Vandy-Harvard 5-12 matchup. I don't think Marquette makes the Sweet 16. |

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the selection commitee usually doesn't have a team play so close to home (St. Louis) in the regionals unless they are a number one. |

Kansas is pretty close to St Louis, right? |

They try to place top four seeds as close to home as possible for opening week. |

Ok, when that guy says Iona isn't the last team in, how do you not follow up with "Who was?" They are a 14...to say they are the last team in wouldn't be absurd... |

Missouri was the 8th? So they get in the same bracket as the 4th? Seeding is hard work...

I am not a big Duke fan, but I was watching that game with some family friends who are HUGE Kentucky fans and they were talking so much crap before and during that game. Having him hit that shot was real nice for me. I still remind them of it. |

To sum up Dickie V: The teams that got in could have been left out...the teams that got left out could have been in... Teams that have a good season over four months should be rewarded...but you can't complain if you have a bad loss in your conference tourney and you get left out... So basically...nothing. |

Northwestern fans can't complain. They had multiple opportunities the last few weeks to secure a good win or two. They didn't earn a berth. I would loooove a Kentucky/Indiana Sweet 16 rematch, especially since there was a report out that Kentucky was all butthurt that the ESPN Mobile commercial prominently features that buzzer beating 3 from earlier this season. |
