PrintCBS's NCAA Tournament Show will start at 6 PM ET/3 PT. At least I won't be sweating out over seeding for two teams (let's not forget that I'm a Vol basketball fan) this year.
Earlier today, Mississippi State notched an impressive win got screwed by the refs against Kentucky, losing 75-74 in OT in the SEC Championship game, Duke slipped by Georgia Tech 65-61 in the ACC Championship Game, and Temple won a close game against Richmond, 56-52, to win the A-10 Championship. Ohio State (FU Pryor) leads Minnesota 33-30 at the half in the Big Teneleven Champ. Game.
Automatic Qualifying Teams Are:
ACC: Duke
America East: Vermont
Atlantic 10: Temple
Atlantic Sun: East Tenn. State
Big 12: Kansas
Big East: West Virginia, Mountain Momma
Big Sky: Montana (Is Ropert going to be at their opening round game?)
Big South: Winthrop
Big Ten: Ohio State/Minnesota
Big West: UC-Santa Barbara
Colonial: Old Dominion
Conference USA: Houston
Horizon: Butler
Ivy: Cornell (The Nard Dog's alma mater, for the fans of "The Office")
MAAC: Siena
MAC: Ohio
MEAC: Morgan State
Missouri Valley: Northern Iowa
Mountain West: San Diego State
NEC: Robert Morris
Ohio Valley: Murray State
Pac-10: Fuskies
Patriot: Lehigh
SEC: Kentucky
SOCON: Wofford
Southland: Sam Houston St.
Summit: Oakland
Sun Belt: North Texas
SWAC: Arkansas Pine Bluff
West Coast: Saint Mary's
WAC: New Mexico St.
That leaves 34 at-large bids to sweat over. Discuss below.

I was so pissed watching that Miss St. game. The refs were horrible...I thought I was watching pac-10 officials.
I fucking hate you Mariners
They’re worse than Pac-10 officials. I hate saying this because it seems so broad and generalized, but in football, it always seems as if Florida (and Bama to an extent) get the calls, and in basketball, Kentucky is always favored by the refs.
Not always, but most of the time.

I have but one question.
Is “Varnado” really pronounced “Va-NARD-o”?
everything is history, eventually.
Yup.
He’s an absolute beast, too.

You old-timers and your unwillingness to accept unique names.

I have no quarrel with unique names. Unique mispronunciations have bothered me since I first learned the “Isiah” in Isiah Thomas was pronounced “Isaiah”.
If you saw a player named “Tennessee”, but you heard it was pronounced “Tessennee”, wouldn’t you find this odd? Oh, wait, you’re from Tennessee. Never you mind.
everything is history, eventually.
Unfortunately, my only interest in this year’s Selection Sunday is the part it plays in officially marking the end of Oregon’s season.
A-fucking-men.
They call him Rags. Where he goes, no-hitters follow.

God, there was something I was supposed to remind Boise State, what was it?

I can't remember the whole thing, but I remember thinking my parents would not approve if I did it to Boise State
My parents don't believe in Canzano either.

Top seeds
No. 1 seeds: Duke (South Regional) | Kentucky (East) | Kansas (Midwest) | Syracuse (West)
The Not-Orangemen get rewarded by being sent to the West Regional. Might as well, it’s not as though there are any decent Western teams to put there.
everything is history, eventually.
The fact that San Jose
Has as one of their top seeds Vandy suggests that the west is real weak.

6th seed for Tennessee, playing one of the 2 colleges I want to go to, SDSU…hmm

I'm guessing that was a $ selection. Seriously from a bubble team most expected out, to a 10 seed. Hmm
I fucking hate you Mariners
Its almost as strange as us getting in as a #9 two years ago
I wasn’t surprised we made it in that year (lost to MS State) but as a #9?

The west region is henceforth knwon as the bubble region

UK vs. Texas could be a VERY interesting 2nd round matchup, despite Texas’s recent struggles.

I guarantee UW loses again, and Oregon doesn't. YES!

15 seed. I thought they were more of a 12 or 13.

They will bore the opposition through at least the first 2 rounds.

Illinois for left out for good reason
They sucked.

I heard their coach on earlier today complaining that they deserved a bid..
.. because they’d played a lot of good teams.
Memo to Coach: You do have to win a few of those games.
everything is history, eventually.
My Bracket Summary
Final Four: Kansas, Baylor, K State, West Virginia.
Championship: Kansas over West Virginia
First #1 out: Syracuse to the Zags in Round 2.
Biggest upset: Siena over Purdue.
Number of double digit seeds to the sweet 16: 4
I don’t like having 3 Big 12 teams but the match-ups make it that way.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
SDSU CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP
This off-season officially sucks for SEVEN(!!!!!!!) reasons and counting...
I have a problem rooting against SDSU...
But I have to.

Why would you have a problem rooting against SDSU?
It’s obvious that you want Tenn to win, but why do you care about SDSU?
This off-season officially sucks for SEVEN(!!!!!!!) reasons and counting...
Because Oregon and SDSU are the 2 schools that I want to go to.

Sweet, I missed all this
So you’re telling me the SEC refs its basketball games like it does its football games? I, for one, am SHOCKED. SHOCKED I TELL YOU.
It's actually the same crew...
they just hand them a “rules of basketball” manual before the season.
Looks something like..
1) The higher ranked team in the national spotlight must always win
2) See number 1
Better then the Pac-10 version
1) ?
2) ?
3) ?
4) Profit?

In our defense
We get called for a ton. Whether or no they’re makeups is another debate.
We do go to the line a lot though.
