Full body of work this year. That's why Nova got a 2. San Diego St at 11 is bad. Florida and California seeding is bad. That's really it. No one knows how they ranked them so saying UK and KU got the harder of the top seeds is wrong. Nobody thought Duke would be 3 seed overall so obviously they were looking at diiferent things. They may have Nova as 2nd best 2 seed and OSU as 4th. Nobody but those 8 or so guys knows.

The comitte took a HUGE shite on Purdue. Not only did they stick them with Sienna in the first round, they stuck them with a potential Texas AM matchup in the second round. Honestly, Purdue becomes a VERY dangerous team now. They have ALL the motivation in the world to go out and play loose as underdogs.

1.I think Va Tech got hosed. I mean they finished 3rd in the ACC an beat Wake head to head. Just dont see how they got left out

2.I do think Duke may have the easiest road to Indy. Kentucky or Duke will have the toughest 2nd round games of the 4 number ones

I think Syracuse has the easiest road, followed by Duke. Kansas and Kentucky have tougher roads, and I don't know why.

VaTech did go 10-6 in the ACC and beat GT head to head last weekend @ Georgia Tech, but we get in at 7-9

thats not saying much this season, and their awful ooc games don't help along with shitty loses (UNC,BC, Miami x2). Beating up on the bottom feeders of the ACC doesn't make you a good team.

I agree, just sucks when teams who you beat head-to-head make it from the same conference with worse records.

They did play the easiest ACC schedule this season, though, so frick them for not winning on Friday.

Temple deserved a 3 or 4.

And VT didn't get in for the same reasons we were an 8 seed last year. The Hokies beat no one worth a shite OOC. That's on them and their AD's. That said, VT is better than half of the 8-12 seeds in the field.

Florida as a 10 is comical now that I think of it. And I am sorry, but Minnesota should have been kept out today. You cannot lose by 30 while the entire nation watches awaiting the selection show. Illinois should have been shoved back into their place.

And frick the committee for not putting in Rhode Island. They finished 4th in a solid A-10.

The committee must be a bunch of senile frickers. I literally CANNOT frickING BELIEVE that Nova was a 2 seed! Did anyone not see U Conn beat them in Philly? Marquette beat them in the QUARTERS of the Big East. Duke, Nova, Florida, and Notre Dame have people who have naked pics of committee members.

If GT is a 10, no fricking way Florida is, too.

The committee was surely drooling over the Gators' December win over Michigan State.

I think conference tourneys should just be banned. This year, body of work>>>>>conf tourney (as it should)...but in the past, it's been the other way around.

Who did Kansas piss off? That region is absurd.

Temple-Cornell in the first round is a joke. Both teams are getting hosed.

I went to Baylor for grad school, so I'm happy with it, but their draw is insanely easy. They'll play close to home (New Orleans and Houston), got a joke of 6-seed, and the weakest 2-seed. If the B fails to make the Elite Eight, they have choked.

Vandy got a crap draw. Murray St is a tough out.

WVU got screwed out of a 1-seed, but looking at some 1-seed's draw, I'd rather be WVU. Once they get over getting hosed out of a number, their actual draw is an invitation to the Final Four.

Duke's draw makes me so angry I can't even talk.
