The Big Beast in the East... Wow! When was the last time 3 teams from one conference went to the Final Four? I wonder...
ReplyDeleteI also LOVE all of the #13 seeds! I'm going to bet that two of the four get wins... especially if Gonzaga and Butler are 4s. I think New Mexico will make a run in the Mountain West and will get a 12 or 11 seed tho.
It's sad to see the 8 and 9 seeds... The winner has to play a #1. It's almost better to get a 10 seed if you don't get a 7.
In my opinion, the tournament started last week with all of these mid-major teams doing work and putting on a show in one of their only nationally televised games.
NDSU, Robert Morris, and Portland State have all come down to the last shot in the last couple nights.
Please give love to Ben Woodside (NDSU).

I like Washington as a 3 seed... Like I've said before the Pac 10 is going to surprise people. Cal is even quality. They should be a 6 or 7 seed. I just like The top 5 in the Pac. Well seeded though by Chespn.

ReplyDeleteThat Mike Singletary going off for 29 in a row is like LeBron against the Pistons in the East Conf Playoffs.
