    Damn FLA gets overseeded last year and underseeded this year. Iona getting in is a big surprised but I'm glad that Machado gets a chance to play in the big dance.

    That West region is pretty bad. Michigan State is the worst #1 seed IMO, they got Iona in there and Marquette isn't a GREAT 3.

    Missouri should win this region IMO.

    Texas getting in is somewhat of a shock.

    Florida State moved up from a 5-6 seed to a 3 because of the last two days.

    Should get to sweet 16...don't like Xavier in round 2 if they get there. UNLV/Baylor is a tough matchup for them.

    Anybody else got Vandy in the final four?? Things are set up pretty well for my Hoyas. I also have UNLV in the elite eight. Gotta love the tournament!

    I'll fill out my bracket tomorrow after more research but my early final 4 is Kentucky, North Carolina, Missouri and Florida State.

    Xavier is a tough matchup for them. Baylor is very good. Indiana, IMO, is the best #4 seed and, of course, they are in Kentucky's region.

    I think Kentucky got sort of screwed. This is a tough tough region.

    Some thoughts:

    1) Duke and Kentucky could play on 20th anniversary of Laettner shot...you are telling me that isn't thought about?

    2) I think Kansas got the easiest draw of ANY #1 or #2 seed to get to elite 8...but their first round game is going to be tough. Detroit is for real and Ray McCallum was a top 50 recruit that chose to go to a small school.

    3) Look at the potential second round matchups for the top teams:

    Kentucky vs UCONN
    Memphis vs MSU
    Mizzou vs Florida
    Cuse vs K State

    Tough matchups.

    4) I have Wichita St in sweet 16 but tough to have them beat Kentucky...but if Kentucky loses, WSU will be in elite 8.

    5) UNC's second round matchup will either be against a team that can score but not defend or a team that can defend but not score. If I am them, I don't want Alabama who is very athletic and can really defend.

    You can enlarge it, or make it smaller.

    Excited to see IU in the tourney again.

    Wichita State/IU should be a really good game. I think both are inside KenPom top 15. Not complaining. Just happy to be here. Let's lace them up and play.

    A tough road for Kentucky, IMO. Almost guaranteed to have to go through UConn, one of Wichita State/IU, and Baylor/Duke (would be an excellent game).

    Already such an epic day. I hesitate to use terms like that, but come on.
