NM St is awful at free throws....

But, I agree.....I think we will see multiple 'upsets' everyday....

I think this might be the best tourney in many years

It seems the playin games are clear ratings boosters for the networks.

Mich St beats Arizona for the championship. Of course it is guessatology but the selections were good. I dont think Louisville deserved a 2 like they are saying on ESPN, maybe a 3. Kentuk should be a 5 -6 8 is a little high.

And I still think they need make 8 cheapest conf. winners have play-in vs first 8 out. Winners of them anre 15 / 16 seeds.

Louisville beat Wichita St.

Think Oregon advances to play Az and can beat them... Think the loss to UCLA was to break streak.

Also think more and more teams play the end of the season to prepare for tour and not conf tour. except Duke...

2 longshots to make it into the 8 is Oregon and St. Joe

Honestly it was a guess and hoping based on what I seen towards the end of the season... Yea, you got to have that here... I just couldn't find good other longshots to pick. Seems like there are 10 /14 good teams and the rest are quite a tier below. Even the good ones have faltered throughout the year. I think Mich. St. comes in perfectly, I also think FLoida is overrated, andI live here...

Absolute Joke how the committee weighed the A10 so high and the AAC so low.

Umass a 6 and Uconn a 7 is the biggest joke of all time.
Saint Louis a 5 and Louisville a 4? Say what?
SMU????? WHAT THE darn??????????????????????????????????????????

Sad thing is thats just the appetizer.

Tenn a play-in, Iowa state a 3, Nova a 2, holy garbage, they fucked up so bad I cant even fathom how they came to it.  SDSU a 4 but NM a 7. You people are awful.  No respect to the committee they completely hacked it up so god damn bad.

Co -Pilot and maybe pilot are the problem, they supported the opposition and he got locked up on the day it dissapeared... Only thing is why kill themselves ? I dont get that and or it landed somewhere. The FBI are trying to say their not on it, but you can bet they got a better idea then anyone...

If they brought it back across maylasia as they say without detection, then it could have easily landed there in the jungle on a strip. Still nothing from them ? Strange for sure..

Yeah, I think Uconn, New Mexico, MSU and Ville got robbed big time....

UMASS and St Louis WAY too high...

Dont even know why the Ducks are a 7 seed, I dont care of the little run they had going in the end  and same goes for BYU. Ducks are out first round even though BYU is garbage also.
