WOW looks like the Big 10 is being disrespected once again

Michigan State a 2

Maryland 5 and Iowa 7

everyone seeded one spot worst than forecasted

big surprise sees Vandy in the tournament, neither I, nor Lunardi, nor Palm had them in

if Iowa can shake off the cobwebs they have had the last months they can win that game.

This is brutal. I have to watch Charles Barkely not properly work a touch screen before I find out the rest of the bracket? If you don't want people to turn to ESPN, put on a better show, not a longer one. I feel like a hostage.

this is terrible that they are doing it this way dragging it out for 2 hours instead of just giving the brackets

totally takes away from the day. who the f cares who Barkley want, he isnt even a NCAA guy that follows this stuff and he picked all favorites

South Bracket is loaded...Kansas; Nova; MD; Calif; Zona; Miami

- Nova as 2 seed in South is stunning...thus they don't play in Philly......drives down ticket values for sure in Philly Bracket

- I have tix for Bklyn as well as Philly and potential Nova - Iowa game is nice on Sat.

- Vandy getting in...not good for Monmouth

Potential Texas-Texas AM 2nd round game.

No way the committee tries to set up these matchups...

West compared to South is much weaker....

West:

- Why does Yale as a 12 seed get to play in Providence?
- .How would you like to be St Joe?...You win A10 and as gift you go to Spokane.
- Interesting that potential 3 vs 6 game is Texas vs A&M

I know this is going to sound crazy, but a lot of West teams in the West region this year. At least someone looked at a map.

The committee apparently fell in love and bought into Pac12 and the rpi...I worry for Monmouth and the west coast bias with San Diego State

With OU waiting for the winner. And a former NCAA guy was on TV today saying the committee doesn't manipulate matchups.

I'm a little worried too but they made Nova the 8th overall seed so I'm not sure I can follow any logic here.

They can't get them to play in football...so may as well force them in the tourney! Bring on the castrated steers!!

what's worse - the CBS show or the bracket?

a lot of head-scratching decisions made by both

Switched to ESPN. I am sure that Vitale will be yelling about Monmouth. Seton hall will be playing teams with size.

Iowa in NYC (Brooklyn) the same weekend their Wrestling team is in NYC for the Nationals. The Hawkeyes will be everywhere, as they travel well. BUT they will be in NYC for St Patty's Day, Thur March 17, and that should be an eye opener for them, lol.

The released the seed list 1-68. SU 39 - the next to last at-large bye team. Only VCU behind them. I can't get the tweet to format properly. If I find a link I will add it.

Glad to see the obnoxious Monmouth bench mob has to take their stupid act to the NIT

Didn't SHOE get jobbed as a 6? seems low


meh...a team that was surging, I could see them a 5 but really not sure why the media and their fans are upset....they get a weaker Gonzaga as an 11 and Utah is not a world beater at 3. Its not a tough draw if they are on their game...because their opponent is Gonzaga I think they will know they have to play and not be flat. If it was one of those 12 like Ark Little Rock I could see them picked off
