IU didn't win in the Big Ten Tournament, but they had a good season otherwise. It'll be a shame if they don't get picked this year.

I think the two bubble teams that are worhty of a #1 seed are UCLA and Wisconsin. I think Digger siad it best when he said the four teams that are the #1 seeds won their respective Conference Tournament and UCLA and Wisconsin did not.

Wisconsin had one bad game, Florida lost 2 at the end of the regular season. I understand UCLA. And how are you and NC ahead of OSU?

"Wisconsin had one bad game" - A twenty point loss in the final game of the season is not a bad game, it's awful.

"Florida lost 2 at the end of the regular season" - They did the exact same thing last year and went on to win the NC. They returned all 5 starters from that NC team. They weren't even behind at any point in the SEC tourney. Plus they won all tourney games by at least 19 points.

"And how are you and NC ahead of OSU?" - We destroyed OSU by 25 points last December.

I rest my case.

To the #1 team in the nation, who were your losses to? History doesn't mean jack, it's this season that counts, the teams you faced in the tourney weren't exactly great either. At least we're in the same region so we can take you down ourselves.

I disagree with the a lot of the bracket. OSU and KU #3 and #4 1 seeds respectively? UF #1 Overall? UNC even a #1 seed? UCLA not? It doesn't matter to me though, you play who you play regardless.

Winthrop vs. Notre Dame should be best 1st round game imo

USC vs. Texas in round 2 should be amazing!

It's a great time of the year.

agreed! this is the most pissed I've been since January (when my eaglels lost to the saints). Arkansas?! Xavier?! HOW ARE THOSE TWO TEAMS IN BUT NOT SYRACUSE. arkansas finished like 7-9 in the SEC WEST! The arguably worst conference in all of everything. They didnt do anything in the regular season.

This will actually give me a reason to watch the NIT now..........which I'd rather not

ohio state should've been the the number one overall seed.  they lost three games, all on the road and all against great teams.  they won their conference and conference tournament and they've won 17 straight games.  not a big deal though, i think ohio state has the easiest road to the final four so i can't complain.

Easy now. You better watch out for BC in the 2nd round.

And yes USC and Texas should be good in round 2, but Texas will take that cake home.

Look, I don't know that I agree that Ohio State should be the overall #1 seed, but there is no way Florida should have gotten it.  If you're objective about it, there is absolutely no way you can disagree with this.

I think what hurt my Buckeyes was the fact that we didn't do much in our out of conference schedule, and the Big Ten is having a down year so winning that didn't really impress the committee.  I think it also hurt us that our tournament game was played so late.

The SEC is the worst? The RPI doesn't seem to think so. Link
Also, if they're the worst in everything, why did they win the National Championship game in football, and basketball last year.  That being said, Arkansas is terrible and I don't think they should have gotten in either.

WTF does football have to do with anything? RPI means nothing, no one likes it, it's just another stat people like to look at for no reason. And I dont mean the whole SEC is the worst, I mean the SEC WEST is the worst. Most experts would agree that the SEC West is absolutely horrible this year, and the fact that arkansas with 7-9 in that division and got in is just unheard of

BC will be out in the first because Texas Tech can absolutely go lights out, which I think they will. I also, for some reason, think that Georgia Tech is gonna upset Wisconsin in the second round. Wisconsin can't shoot the three, and if Taylor or Tucker isn't playing well, they will be in trouble. Georgia Tech has three guys who shoot the three with over forty percent accuracy, and they've won seven of their past ten. Georgia Tech is dangerous.

Nothing against Texas (I mean, Durant is a total freak of nature!!!) but I think if those two meet 2nd round, it could be very good because when USC shows up, they really show up! I would like to see Durant and the Longhorns go far in the tourney though because they can take on anyone when Durant is feeling it. I just want to see my BYU Cougars go up against Ohio State in the second round! I don't think there is any way they can shut down Oden but it would be AWESOME to get to see them try! Plus, they have a lot of really good shooters so if they got hot it could be a very fun game to watch!
