Syracuse and Drexel got screwed. They really should have gotten in. I cant beleive that Arkansas and Stanford got in while these two teams got snubbed. Also, I can NOT believe that Duke got all the way up to a 6 seed. Are you serious? This is a team that should have gotten no better than an 8 seed, and that would have been a gift. They are going to be one and done against VCU. Of the 34 at large bids, only 6 went to teams outside the 6 power conferences. The Mountain West conference along with Nevada, Creighton, and a couple other of the mid majors seemed to have gotten slighted at least 3 seeds. That said, Nevada didn't make things easy for themselves by loosing to Utah St. Look for Winthrop to upset Notre Dame. Also, how does a 6 seed in Louisville get their first two games at home? That was lucky.

yea, arkansas getting in is a joke. everyone leaves out vermont though for teams that got snubbed. they beat BC early in the season, head to their conf final with 13 wins in a row, lose to albany by 1, whom they beat twice ealier in the season, and finish at 23-9 and get the shaft. fuck, they should have just gotten in for that MONSTER dunk against albany

You cant lose to towson, harvard, and maine and still command a lot of respect for an at large bid. The only recognizable teams they played were BC and Michigan State, whom they lost by 20 to.

how the hell does that not count as an "I told you so"? VCU won. I called it (as did every other real college basketball fans that knew that duke was a joke this year). End of story.

wow. way to take things really really seriously. I was just saying that cause you were one shot away from taking your "i told you so" and walking away with your tail between your legs. The game was a crapshoot, could have gone either way.

Oh, and yeah I guess me choosing Duke makes me not a 'real' fan. I guess i should stop watching all the games on tv, and burn my lettermans jacket from high school, i was just pretending to like basketball all this time.

i had arizona over purdue also. but i had them losing vs. florida in the second. I messed up on the Duke, ND, GW and ILL games. The bad thing was i had Duke over Pitt...=(

i totally thought ILL had that thing wrapped up! It's all good though cause i can still win.
