The bracket is out, now it's time to prognosticate. The No. 1 seeds go to UNC, Memphis, Kansas, & UCLA. Will this be the year all four #1's advance to the Four? Or will it be the year a 16 seed finally prevails? Let us know what you're thinking and we'll get your picks on the air Tuesday. It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world!

Let the Madness Begin!

I can't believe that Bobby Knight is suggesting that they expend the tourney to 128 teams! That's silly. I think that's what the NIT is for. If you don't make the 64 (I think the 65th team play-in game is silly too), you shouldn't be in. That's plenty of teams.
On the first glance of this post, I read: "The bracket is out, now it's time to procrastinate."
Which is true in its own way.
Not having followed college basketball much this season - BC's last game of the season, a 48-82 loss against Syracuse ending with a scintillating 4-12 record in the ACC pretty much summed my interest this year - I don't have much to say for most of the brackets; 1 and 2 seeds it is.
But I will go out on a bit of a limb and predict 5 Drake's carrying the West, and even the whole tournament over 2 Georgetown in the championship, in honor of the show's namesake. And if Drake doesn't pull it out, then I'll be pulling for Oregon - basically any team with a large awkward bird for its namesake. And if not Oregon, then the St. Mary Gaels. Because Gaels sounds like Girls.
Gary, are you suggesting that there's something wrong with women's basketball? ;-) How about #1 seed UConn in the same bracket as #2 Rutgers? What were the bracketologists thinking???

Xavier looked good after falling behind at the half vs. Georgia. Still think they'll make a nice run and that Georgia was a tough draw as a #14.
Three 20-point blowouts in the 2nd batch of games. 10 points in the first half from Kent St?!?! Worse yet, I picked them!
Only Kentucky/Marquette was interesting, though I've never heard so many shot-clock horns. And where was Ashley Judd?
Also, does anyone else think Marquette coach Tom Crean looks like Tom Arnold?
how about the Duke-Belmont game? that would've been fantastic if Belmont had pulled off the upset.
drake lost. sad stuff.
Day 1 really needed that Belmont upset as it was otherwise a ho-hum tournament beginning.
Day 2, however, was awesome! Though I was disappointed by the Drake loss, it was some game. Though I have to ask where the defense was? 101-99?!?!
The Tampa cite was incredible: 4 upsets, 2 OT's and 2 buzzer-beaters that set up two 12 vs. 13 matchups. Rosie was excited about the Nova win.
On to Round 2!
