I hate that I like Texas so much in this tourny. They don't have just 1 or 2 dudes that carry them. Their whole team can score at will (Minus Tyrese against KU in the B12 championship, yikes)

Are they the same session? If so, then you may be right. If not I can't imagine Bama fans are going to spend extra money to root against Auburn.

Different sessions.

Where is a good bracket that has small note of game site built in without clicking? I hate making picks and having to constantly look at where the game is at.

 

[CYDJ]

Seriously - is it like a requirement of ESPN employees to automatically write Duke and UConn into the Final Four?

Uh..... yes? You didn't know that?

Are there any ISU sponsored game warches in Iowa?

This bracket sucks to make picks. So many higher seeds can lose early.

Cbssports has an info button for every matchup that is created.

If the committee went by Lunardi they might as well quit their job!

Since Lunardi works for ESPN why would anyone care what he picks when they don’t televise any of the tournament?

And will this actually could be the best tournament ever as far as Dark Horses going far!

Here are my Selection Sunday Tidbits

New Teams Kennesaw State is the only new team in this year's tournament. Every NCAA Tournament has had at least one new NCAA Tournament tea...

Also, if you want to do any queries of your own throughout the tournament. Here is my website. I also plan to be on here throughout the tournament and can answer questions. (There may be some times that I am busy doing other things, so I may not be able to answer right away.)

I want every Big 12 team to do well (including Texas until we play them in KC).

 

[Kinch]

Some suspect seeding for the Big 12 but end of the day 60% of the league ended up with six of the top 24 seeds in the tourney. Impressive.

The average seed for the top 4 Big 12 teams is 2.25. If you include Houston as a Big 12 team, the top 4 teams then have an average seed of 1.75, which is incredible.

Their bigs can score at will.

Oh is it? Could have misread or CBS ****** up. They did that a couple of time during the show

Nope, it is Tuesday night. I went off a Mississippi newspaper article game preview which stated the game was on Wednesday. They have since corrected that article.

Auburn is a 9 and playing 100 miles from home.

CW said in podcast that someone commented to him that B'ham is a Bama town and the crowd there will cheer for whoever is playing against Auburn so it may be a pro-Iowa crowd unfortunately.

Back in the early '90s, ISU played Florida in the First Round @ Tallahassee, and all of the FSU fans were rooting for the Cyclones! So, anything is possible.

My guess is that the 'Bama fans will just dump their tickets for the Auburn pod and not even bother with the night games.

The "idiot" beside him is Jay Wright. Former head coach of Villanova. Who's been to multiple final fours and has won a nation title. I think he knows a thing or two about basketball. The guy to his left...Seth Davis, is moronic foolbrain.

Whoever Seth Davis picks to win, the team loses for close matchups. His track record sucks. Good news for ISU, he has Pitt beating us.
