**TheRealVille** · 03-13-2011, 05:45 PM

Goes to show you the NCAA had the bracket set earlier this week. Absolutley ridiculous.

I hate to take anything away from UK, and I want to be careful with myself when I say this, but the Gators are NOT good!

**geauxtigers75** · 03-13-2011, 06:24 PM

Puke has a cake walk, of course. The west sucks. The east is murderous.

***Spud6*** · 03-13-2011, 06:27 PM

Duke just called, they said THANK YOU!!! This is ridiculous!! I HATE dUKe!

**vundy33** · 03-13-2011, 06:40 PM

dUKe has one of the easiest brackets literally every year. This is no surprise.

***Spud6*** · 03-13-2011, 06:43 PM

dUKie V even said Kentucky should have been higher than 4. He talked about how we've beat Florida three time. And he said the East was the strongest bracket.

**Belfry0304** · 03-13-2011, 07:17 PM

Ohio State potentially has to play Villanova, George Mason, UK, WVU, Syracuse, North Carolina.

Duke potentially has to play SDSU (who has beaten no one.), and Kemba Walker (cause it's a one man show)

F The NCAA.

**LWC** · 03-13-2011, 07:30 PM

All I can say is wow. This is just insane.

**TidesHoss32** · 03-13-2011, 07:51 PM

Everybody on the BYU hate wagon wont have to wait long before they get punished. IF they get by Wofford (big IF), they will get beat 30 by St Johns. Of course Duke gets an easy bracket. Pittsburgh isnt worthy of a number one seed, and truthfully, I only see three worthy number ones, lol. But I guess since technically they HAVE to have four number ones..ah anyways. UK getting a 4 and Florida getting a 2 just goes to show how the NCAA functions (or dysfunctions, rather). San Diego State is all about record. Same reason St Joes got that number one seed a few years ago, but theyll be gone soon too. When its all said and done, the final four could be a number one, and a couple of 4's and 5's and I look for a very low seeded team (8, 9 or lower)..its gonna be a wild tournament (hopefully)..I'm all for the mid majors getting a fair shot in the basketball tourney (but NOT football. Football is a totally different animal), however when an 11 loss VCU team with a 12-6 mid major conference record knocks out an 11 loss Bama team (with wins over UK, Tennessee on the road, and two wins over Georgia) with a 12-4 power conference record, its garbage that the NCAA puts them in just so they can have the potential for more mid major upsets. I rarely ***** about the NCAA selection committee, because more times than not they get it right, but they flat out FAILED this year. Not only did they fail miserably at botching the seedings, but they put several teams that didnt belong in there. If anything, put the field back at 64, take VCU, UAB, USC, and (either Michigan State, Illinois, Marquette, Villanova, or Tennessee) out of the tournament (which is what I would prefer in the first place), and go on from there.

***phoeniXX*** · 03-13-2011, 08:04 PM

Has anyone heard what Coach Cal is saying about the bracket and UK's 4 seed.

Commodore_Colonel · 03-13-2011, 08:11 PM

How does Florida get a 2-seed and Kentucky gets a 4-seed when we beat by 16?!

**Aslan** · 03-13-2011, 08:49 PM

Pathetic. Worst job the committee has done yet. I'm disgusted at how Duke is the last 1 seed and they get the easiest road every year. This is the second year in a row that them being a 1 seed is questionable.
UK getting a 4 just blows my mind. I thought we at least had a 3 locked up, with an outside shot at a 2. Florida being a 2 is a joke.

***Wildcatk23*** · 03-13-2011, 09:27 PM

I wish we would have lost today. Maybe that wouldnt have *pink-fluffy-bunny* us.

**PaintsvilleTigerfan** · 03-13-2011, 09:47 PM

The NCAA hates Kentucky this is unquestionable to me now.

**cuppett777** · 03-13-2011, 10:56 PM

Cats atleast should have been a 3

No, what did he say?

**Mr. Pike Central** · 03-14-2011, 02:24 AM

Duke won't make it to the Final Four, infact I have them losing to Texas in the Sweet Sixteen.

Even if they get past them, San Diego St. would give him fits.

I actually have San Diego St. in my Final Four.

Do not sleep on the Aztecs.

**geauxtigers75** · 03-14-2011, 07:13 AM

In other news, how in the world did Michigan State even get in? They suck, they got a few good wins over Purdue and Wisconsin, but got flat out drilled a few times (Iowa by 20, Wisconsin by 26, Purdue by 20) not to mention they got swept by Michigan. How can anyone justify Mich. St. getting in over Colorado? I don't care how good Izzo is in the tournament, the body of work just isn't there.

**ekff** · 03-14-2011, 09:54 AM

Just the Worst seeding and team picking EVER....

1) (KENTUCKY 4) Before the SEC championship game they said "If Florida wins, they will be a 2!" Well Kentucky walks all over Florida, and also just a week ago Kentucky beat Florida.

2) (KANSAS ST 5) OK, Kansas St. being a 5 and playing against Utah St. a 12. These two teams should change seeds. Utah St ranked all year, Kansas St. lost to Colorado 3 times. I think Kansas St should be a 12.

3) (WHERE'S COLORADO) Someone please tell me how UAB,and VCU gets in over Colorado. Colorado beat Kansas St 3 times, and beat Texas. I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS....

Some seeds I hate and what I think they should be
Kentucky 4 - Should be 3
Florida 2 - Should be 4
Kansas St 5 - Should be 12
Utah St 12 - Should be 5
Michigan 8 - Should be 11
Illinois 9 - Should be 12
VCU 11 - SHOULD BE OUT
UAB 12 - SHOULD BE OUT
Georgia 10 - SHOULD BE OUT
V. Tech out - Should be 11
Colorado out - Should be 10
Saint Mary's out - Should be 12

***zaga_fan*** · 03-14-2011, 10:26 AM

I think everyone and their brother knew Duke was getting a 1 seed after they spanked UNC. IMO it was well-deserved.
They have 30 wins and an ACC title....
That seems worthy of a 1-seed to me.
They have UConn and Texas in their bracket, it isn't a cakewalk like everyone is going on about.
Pitt has easiest road by far IMO.
Southeast top 4 seeds
Pitt
Florida
BYU
Wisconsin

**NYY10** · 03-14-2011, 01:31 PM

I love how you all think Texas, UCONN, Arizona, Missouri, Cincinnati is a cake walk for Duke.. They have the 2nd hardest region.

They have 7 teams in the top 25 in their region.
Duke wasnt the last 4 seed. Pitt was
