I wish they put Wisconsin as the #1 seed in the South regional, and have Arizona as the #1 seed in the West regional, and put Duke as the #2 seed in any regional (preferrably Midwest with #1 Kentucky), otherwise no complaints.

Again the committee did a good job overall, pretty much on target and consistent, with only a couple slight questions

At least if you look at it without bias, hate, and by the methods the committee has always used for decades.... of course our society can only nitpick, whine and call conspiracy though...

Interesting that the photo that shows just above is Kyle Anderson of UCLA's last year's sort-of Cinderella's (enough possessives there for you?) team.  This year's team will fare about the same - Elite Eight loss - and you will be in love with the glimpses you get of the cheerleaders and pep squad babes they put on the floor.

2nd straight year the committee has royally screwed up the seedings. Way tto much love to the Big12 and not enough to ACC and MVC. Of course, last year, they pitted Wichita St against Kentucky in rd2. What a joke.

im still wondering how TEXAS got in 3-12 against top competition listen folks you can put a pretty good mid major team in a tough conference and they can do that. one of these days the committee is going to look at it this way if they would ever wake up. the way you beat TEXAS is transition basketball there guys are really good shot blockers but if you beat there slow guys down the court there done. also a good 3 pt shooting team can outscore them..
