Kentucky/Nova is a great 8/9 matchup...And either one of those teams could give Kansas a matchup in the second round...

Va Tech/Illinois is a great upset waiting to happen...

I will call VCU over Dook right now...

If Wright St. can score they could beat Pitt, but Pitt has size to just dominate them...

Indiana all the way down on the 7 line after some tough losses to end the season, but Zaga got a pretty favorable spot...

Overall looks like an up for grabs bracket all the wa down to the 10 seed...

 

[tibor75]

Being a #12, Illinois was probably the last team in.

I am thinking that title goes to Arkansas...

Agreed. I was hoping Wright State would avoid a team with giant post players. 6'8" and 6'6" is what they will put on the floor to defend Gray. If Pitt is successful pounding it in this could be ugly.

That's true about Pitt, but more often than not in the tournament, the surprise team feature stellar defense and great guard play. Dashaun Wood can provide that for WSU.

What's the word on Tubby if UK goes in the first round jlb

I personally think he stays there. If they get rid of him, I think it is a huge mistake.

The Cincy media (which always covers a lot of Kentucky BBall on a competitive and fan basis) agrees with you bigballin. I have yet to see (or hear) a "trusted" source in the papers or on the airwaves say that UK kicking Tubby to the curb would be anything other than monumentally dumb.

Ya, I am actually a UK basketball fan too, and everything I have read and heard say they think he stays there, and if they get rid of him it would be nothing short of idiotic.

 

[buckeyeboy]

Duke's a #6? Please. They were ranked #21 going into their conference tourney, and they lost in the first round to an NIT-bound NC State.

 

[Flocka]

There is an argument for Duke not even making the tournament. They finished with a .500 record in their conference and lost 10 games.

Well, yeah, but it wouldn't be March Madness for CBS without Coach Kommercial...

I'm ashamed to say that I don't know. I have not really been a good fan this season. I've been interning in the WSU Athletic Department, so that's where most of my attention has been when it comes to college basketball.

I will say this though: If they get rid of Tubby, it'd be a mistake. I've always regarded him as the Jim Tressel of college basketball. It is unfortunate that there are a great many UK fans that don't appreciate a coach like Tubby, and if they have their way, they will get the coach and the program that they deserve.

Wright State has a better record than Dook. No matter how you slice it, it's good.
