[QUOTE="GoWVU, post: 129533495, member: 1457561"] Looks like I'm the only person on the board who thinks WVU and everyone else in the East Region got absolutely bent over and reamed by the corrupt committee. Relatively speaking, the other regions are all mostly navigable. A few genuinely tough teams, with only a couple schools per region who have even won the tournament at all. Meanwhile, we got sentenced to the Group of Death with a combined 18 national titles between the 1-4-5 seeds and a #7 who's been to consecutive Final Fours. We've had better draws in years when we were only a 5-seed. It's like our school actually got punished for having a stronger season. As soon as I saw the first 2 soft regions yesterday--each with virtually no traditional powers--I knew we'd get crammed in with a bunch of them and have our dreams essentially dashed before they even started. The whole tournament looks like a setup to me. The basketball team of this past 2 seasons remains among my favorites of all time and that won't change even if they go out in the first round, but their draw just reeks. I wasn't asking the committee to fight FOR us, but damn...don't fight against us, either. [/QUOTE]
