    Seth Davis is awesome for thinking Xavier will get to the Sweet 16.
    Seth Davis is always wrong so not sure I'd be excited he's got Xavier in the Sweet 16.

    Well this sucks, Illinois misses the dance, should be the last time we miss for a while though, our freshman guards will have a year of experience and we have a great recruiting class coming in, the future is bright.

      Wow, didn't realize that. I also thought Wall traveled on his layup late in the game.

          That kind of nonsense is like when people want pass interference called on a Hail Mary.

          You aren't getting a 3 point arc violation at the end of the game. Hell, you aren't getting that ever.

            And Duke...LOL at them being the #3 #1 seed and LOL at having a cupcake bracket.

            And I'm getting tired of Dicky V sucking the ACC"s **** whining over Virginia Tech not getting in.
            If Kansas makes it out of this bracket they deserve the national title. I think the champion comes from this region.

            Duke better lose in the second round. Their bracket is complete BS for the #3 overall seed.

                I love Dick Vitale's argument that late-season games should have more effect on whether or not a bubble team gets in the dance, and then he proceeds to contradict himself by citing the Hokies as an example. Virginia Tech lost four of their last six games and exited early from the ACC Tournament, and as such wasn't strong down the stretch by any means.

                      Just a quick question, were you ok with the double dribble call against Memphis in their game against Houston?

                        His bias for the ACC is sickening. Imo, he's the college basketball equivalent to Lou Holtz.

                          Cornell as a #12 seed is LMAO.

                          The committe is really over its head.

                            Virginia Tech non conference SOS = 338.

                            And there you go Hokies.

                              To be honest I didn't even know that that was a rule, just like I didn't know that fouling during a deadball scenario should be called as an intentional foul (but this is apparently never enforced).

                              Since I didn't know the rule I wasn't looking for it, but if it was indeed an egregious violation I could see where Mississippi State fans could have a legitimate beef. Bottom line though is that they have had more than one chance to beat Kentucky and ultimately didn't, though.

                                yeah I don't get that. Put Cornell at the #9 seed vs Texas and move Wake to the #12 seed to play Temple.
