  1. I like the little more love shown for the Pacific 10. I know Duke and Michigan State are worthy of 2 seeds, but I'm almost positive they would get beat by some of the 3 and 4 seeds. Duke has looked shaky and Michigan State, well... they play in the Pig Pen, I mean... Big Ten. We'll see if that defense works in the tournament this year. Izzo and K are pretty good in March, if my memory serves me correctly. Final Fours, Rings... Haha!
    Texas, Tennessee, and UCLA, if seeded low will ruin someone's day.
    I CAN'T WAIT!
    WHERE IS UAB? Oh, I see... they have to beat Memphis in the CUSA tournament. They will!
    I'm looking forward to UTEP v UAB and Minnesnowta v Wisconsin tonight!

  2. Oh yea... Patty Mills will win St. Mary's the WCC conf tournament and the Gaels will be in the Sweet 16. They only lost to Gonzaga by 2 w/o him and beat Utah St by 8 w/o him. HE does 18 points, 4 dimes, 3 boards, and 2.5 steals a game.
    Wolves need an Olympic guard...?!
