2 7/10 match ups in Omaha on Friday.  Hope those are good games.  Not expecting much from the 2/15 match ups, but you never know.  Can't wait for my first NCAA tourney experience!

The head of the selection committee is a consultant for the Big Least.    Big Least gets nine bids.    Ain't that a coincidence ?

It was a little different environment when I went to Albuquerque but when I went to Provo for the West Regional in '82, I simply lived in the moment.    Didn't matter who was playing who.   It was college basketball and it was outstanding.    I think Georgetown and Oregon State were both there.   I believe we watched Danny Ainge practicing baseball for BYU.   What a great time it was.   Inhale it.

I have no faith in UVA winning that game against Florida. I hate to pick Florida ever, but UVA is sucking lately.

Florida has been as well.

Two points: First of all, Drexel should have made it in over Iona, but the rest of the decisions were fine. Secondly, Memphis got screwed over as an 8 seed facing Michigan St in the 2nd round. Saint Louis and Memphis were two of my favorite mid-majors heading into the tourney, I'm pissed that they're playing each other.

I would agree if Seton made it, but I think it was fair in terms of them... they had 8 no-brainers, and then USF made it and Seton Hall didn't.

Those are the schools I've applied to, and none of them have rejected me yet :)

I'll also root for Cal and Vandy, as well as UNC, etc.

I'm looking forward to the Wichita State/VCU game. That will be a great matchup between mid-major powers.

I don't like that they're doing a bracket buster game in the tournament.

Does anyone know if this will be televised ?  And what is TruTV ?  TruTV is suppose to be one of the stations carrying the NCAA (along with CBS, TNT, and TBS).  Does anyone have access to TruTV ?

TruTV is 183, TruTV HD is 683 on FiOS.

As for the game, all the games are on TV, just depends on the channel.

I'm at the point where I just want 128 or 256- certain teams can play an extra game, everyone can, and that way there is no complaining
