What's that you say, of course Duke is in a weak region!  Same as it ever was.

No kidding.  A&M overrated as a 3.  Duke as a 4.  Baylor as a 5.  Weakest #1.

Other half of the bracket has UNC, UVA, Mich St, WVU, Kentucky, Indiana, Xavier and then also Purdue, Seton Hall, Notre Dame, Dayton and Wisconsin.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

This show is a joke...

 

[TripItUp]

Oregon St 9-9 in conf, 19-12 overall.  Beat nobody out of conference and they're a 7 seed???  Don't get it at all.

that's pretty crazy...they were a Lunardi bubble team, but likely in...

 

[MAC_32]

What's that you say, of course Duke is in an weak region!

I don't think they match up well with the teams in that bracket though. 

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

The other Last 4 in play-in game is atrocious if the rumor I just saw is true.  Like the #75 team is in the tournament bad.

 

[RCon]

Leaked bracket has Syracuse safely in, Tulsa in the play-in game, and Monmouth out.  That sucks.

 

[Pumpnick]

i used to like to watch this

Monmouth has better wins than Tulsa even despite the conference.  Tulsa is a joke.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

There's a leaked bracket on twitter that is 100% so far. If anyone wants to see the full bracket (seems like its right) here it is:

Big Blue Nation heads will explode if that one is right

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Oregon st does have 6 wins against the rpi top 58, though they were all at home, fwiw.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

If that leaked bracket is correct I love MSU's draw.

 

[TripItUp]

Oregon st does have 6 wins against the rpi top 51, though they were all at home, fwiw.

they had very good ranking stats, RPI, SOS etc.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

they had very good ranking stats, RPI, SOS etc.

Yep, 33 rpi and 12 sos.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

If that leaked bracket is correct I love MSU's draw.

UVA's too.  I would be stunned if they didn't play each other in Elite 8.

East.  Kentucky-UNC could be great.  Xavier-WVU will be a bloodbath.  Kentucky and Indiana could play in Round 2 as well.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

That leaked bracket nailed the top half of the East.  Sure looks legit.

 

[TripItUp]

that linked bracket appears legit...gotta love the internet.

 

[The General]

The east bracket is brutal.

 

[Don Quixote]

Tulsa over Bonnies is crazy.

 

[Jefferson the Caregiver]

Pac 12 got a whole Lotta love

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Tulsa over Bonnie's is crazy.

More a-10 disrespect.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Tulsa over Bonnies is crazy.

Tulsa over 3/4ths of the NIT field is brutal.  

 

[The General]

Sparty gets a cakewalk.

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

If I fall behind on the live discussion, it's because I'm looping that CapOne commercial on Barkley, Samuel L, and Spike singing "Escape".

 

[The General]

Chattanooga over IU.

 

[Don Quixote]

Tulsa over 3/4ths of the NIT field is brutal.  

Yeah. I didn't think GW would get in (and they don't deserve to be in). But they have a better resume than Tulsa.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

State could play Purdue in the Regional final. 

 

[Prince Myshkin]

I'm afraid to look at the UK message boards...A run through the Big 10 champ, ACC champ, and either Xavier/WVU not likely

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Someday, that feed will get to Fresno.

 

[matuski]

I'm afraid to look at the UK message boards...A run through the Big 10 champ, ACC champ, and either Xavier/WVU not likely

And lower seed than A&M

 

[jon_mx]

State could play Purdue in the Regional final. 

Really not fair to put the best two big 10 teams in the same bracket. Just stupid.  

 

[Hoos First]

Another year another loss to Msu. The committee hates us.

 

[swirvenirvin]

If Purdue had some guard play they could be awesome.. yeah should give Va a run

 

[jon_mx]

Indiana and Ketucky will be a fun game. 

 

[Willie Neslon]

Tulsa over St Mary's a crime.

 

[jon_mx]

Charles is rambling. 

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Tulsa over St Mary's a crime.

St Mary's beat nobody.  St Bonav and Monmouth got hosed the most.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Some guy on ESPN just said this will be the first time people from West Virginia root against something called Steve Austin.  

 

[Prince Myshkin]

Syracuse a #10 is laughable

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

I'm afraid to look at the UK message boards...A run through the Big 10 champ, ACC champ, and either Xavier/WVU not likely

KU boards don't mind the draw.  Most of their anger is directed at Doug Gottlieb, who during the Selection Show said Cal and Maryland were more talented than KU.

Cal may very well be more talented.

 

[Moe.]

Just typical Gottlieb stuff. He said KU has the better team but he knew exactly what he was doing. I love him.

When you put a team into the NCAA field that literally not a single one of the 50-odd brackets felt was worthy of inclusion ... you might have ####ed up.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Committee seeded Duke #13 overall.  Ahead of Kentucky, Cal, and Indiana.  LOL

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

State has an easier draw than Virginia IMO and we're playing closer to home. Love it.

 

[T J]

Pac 12 got a whole Lotta love

no kidding

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

I know everyone hates Calipari but he's tearing the committee a new ##### on ESPN.  And he's right.

 

[The General]

Yeah, don't care if he's right can't take Calipari for more than a couple minutes.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Arizona/Wichita St. is a potentially crazy 1st round game.

 

[jon_mx]

I know everyone hates Calipari but he's tearing the committee a new ##### on ESPN.  And he's right.

I did not see it.  Was he pissed at having to play IU and NC.  It is a pretty ####ty draw for both IU and Kentucky.
