Being from the immediate area, I follow Murray State. One of their top reserves, Jeffrey McClain, went to the same HS as my daughter. They don't have alot of size, but they have five players averaging double figures, and shoot a bunch of 3's. Vandy cannot look past this game. As for another sleeper, watch out for Cornell.

I would have agreed with Cornell if the committee didn;t screw both them and Temple. Temple is amazing and is playing very well right now. Wouldn't be surprised if they went on a huge run

I agree both are unrewarded. Too bad they face each other. Much like Vandy and Murray State. 2 schools, 2 Hours apart, that have to fly across country to play each other.(their game is in Fresno)I thought this "POD" system was to make games more acessable for fans. Murray coulda played Wisconsin, Maryland, or Purdue, closer to home, but was sent to the West. Then some lesser seeds get sent to sites closer to their home.
This shit happens every year,ever since this "POD" system has been intact. IT doesn't work(see Texas 2 years ago, when they NEVER left the state) How the hell was that objective?
Too many negatives with this arrangement, and now they want to expand to 96 teams? I want what these f**ckers are smoking.......It's got to be TOP TOP TOP.

I love that Duke actually has to leave the state and potentially have to play Texas a&m AND Baylor in the state of Texas. You are right though the committee picks their favorite teams and absolutely makes a joke about the brackets. How Duke got the 1 seed over West Virginia is crazy. Not only that but putting them with the worst 2 seed and the worst 4 seed off all the brackets is questionable. If Kansas makes it through their bracket and into the championship you can safely say that they were a GREAT team. The "#1 Overall" team in Kansas has a tough road ahead, but they are more than capable.

I ultimately can't wait for Duke to choke and the committee to look like dumbasses again when all the mid-majors run the table and take 3-4 of the sweet 16 spots.


My mid majors in the sweet 16
5 Butler/ 13 Murray State
7 Richmond
3 New Mexico
5 Temple

Sleeper: 13 Siena, I currently have 5 A&M beating them

There's one game that's ended and already my bracket is screwed up. Tell me, how many other people picked Old Dominion to beat Notre Dame? By one-friggin-stickin-point, no less...

[warthog]

I picked Robert Morris.

[OctoberLady]

I've got Murray St.

I read somewhere when I was in the middle of completing my brackets that a 15th seed has never upset a 2nd seed. I picked Villanova because of that.

wrong. 15 seeds have won a total of 4 times against 2 seeds. Nova sneaks away with it in OT 73-70.

Missed the Notre Dame game so I am currently sitting at 2-1. However I still have all Sweet 16 teams still in play.
