Some quick thoughts now that the bracket is out

Some initial (and quick) thoughts ...

  • I have no real problem with the four No. 1 seeds. It's not the way I would've done it, but it's fine.
  • Tennessee shouldn't be the fourth No. 2 seed. It still has the No. 1 RPI and No. 1 strength of schedule.
  • I hate that Illinois State did not make the field. Guess losing by 30 in your league title game is a killer.
  • Michael Beasley vs. O.J. Mayo in the first round? Excellent!
  • Eight teams from the Big East is exactly right.
  • Memphis might have to play Texas in Houston in the South Regional final. That sucks for Memphis.
  • Wisconsin should be a No. 1 or No. 2 seed. A No. 3 seed is wrong for a Big Ten regular-season and tournament champion.
  • It's a good thing for Kentucky that Dwyane Wade is out of college. You remember the last time the Wildcats got Marquette, right?
  • I don't like South Alabama vs. Butler in the first round. It seems like a clever way to eliminate a non-BCS team that could make a run.
  • Ditto for Gonzaga vs. Davidson in the first round.

Some quick thoughts now that the bracket is out

Here is another problem: UNC could play Indiana in the second round. Well we know 10-12 people who don't want UNC to win it all. I don't think any team that has been in the top ten should ever be an 8 seed. I just look at the other 8/9 seeds and I know for sure that Indiana is the best of them all. I'd rather be Kansas in the second round than UNC.
