It might just be me but isn't a little weird that they're showing the brackets on Sportscenter when the selection show is at 7 o'clock.

Well, we've beat better teams this season. Let's hope the boys light it up in the tournament.

I like our draw. If we play some ball, we should reasonably play in the elite 8 for a trip to Indy.

I have us going to the Final Four. I also have Virginia going to the Final Four.

Once I saw Virginia as a 2 seed I knew we'd be a 1 seed.

Great bracket for us IMO as long as we don't have a let down against St Johns we are going to the final four

I was still sweating over Arizona getting a # 1

UNCheat with 11 losses gets a 4. Wow.

They also said Roy has 21 straight NCAAT appearances. I believe that is incorrect.

Also, having to endure Gottlieb and Seth Davis makes me very thankful that CBS has Clark Kellogg. I love that guy.

If St. John's is lucky enough to win, they will play us without their center. He is suspended. Word is K is pretty happy about our draw. Other than Iowa State being in our bracket, I have to concur.

I'm most worried about Gonzaga. They can score points and have some size.

Gonzaga is good but they certainly haven't been battle tested like Duke. If we get the opportunity to play them, I like our chances.

If we dont make it at least to the E8 I would be shocked. Now I understand nothing is for granted. We have all certainly learned that lesson the last few years, but that looks like as clear a path to the E8 that we could have hoped for.

Duke's bracket is the easiest. With out question. We don't have UVA, Arizona or Kansas as a 2 seed. Our 4 seed is Georgetown instead of Carolina or Maryland. Iowa State is a good 3 seed, but they aren't ND which is a 3. Duke's bracket is fantastic.

And, if the bracket plays out, Gonzaga has to travel to the South. I like that. We got a gift.

I think I would put the Midwest much higher. UK, KU, ND and MD. I actually think UK would have a much easier time with ND due to height advantage, but that's a tough region. I probably would have put East, Midwest, West and South.

Nothing should be taken for granted. St. Johns game came down to the wire. SDSU plays suffocating defense and has great length (cant score though). Lets get past this coming weekend first. Hoping for the best.

CBS did a terrible job with their initial articles. Apparently Amile Jefferson is a guard and we lost a guy named Solomon.

And Roy Williams has been to 21 straight NCAA tournaments according to Gumble.

ND is the only real test I see there. KU is overrated and doesn't have the front court to match KY.

8 losses and a 2 seed for kansas? Uhhhh.....

Utah should not be slept on. They could give us trouble. Either way that S16 could be trouble.


Let's go duke!

The Midwest and East are the toughest and the West and South easiest. As a WVU fan too, I love it that everybody on CBS and ESPN havent mentioned them in that bracket and already written them off. Love it!

Happy with our bracket and playing in Charlotte. Even happier that UNC is not in Charlotte. Won't have to listen to their fans. By the way guys dis you hear what Grant Hill said. He said Wisc. has the the talent, experience and team to win it all. He didn't say anything at all about Duke. Are we going to start in on him like we do with Bilas and Williams.
