Gotta cheer for the Canadain content, Denham Brown on UConn. Been playing well lately. There's some other canucks too but the Huskies are the only one that has a chance.

Gators played a weak nonconfrence schedule and it will cost them!
Not at this time of the year... the SEC while not in the class of this year's big three (the Big-10, Big East, and ACC) is still pretty solid.

The weak OOC caught Florida at the beginning of the SEC Schedule. But they have recovered.

Bad OOC affects you in January, not march if you are in a power conference. Now if you are in a lower level mid-major, a bad OOC will bite you in the ass come March.

Texas A&M deserved to get in. A 10-6 record in the Big-12 is fairly close to 8-8 in those conferences. The RPI's were similar, and A&M had been playing like a team that wanted in.

At the end of the day, Cincy just did not have enough quality wins, and there tough schedule earned them a little too much respect IMO.

who the hell is in the Big-12 other than the Longhorns - the Big-Ten is the most competitive conference if you ask me (not that I am being biased or something :D )

Michigan should have been in there

problem this year is that 7 of the 10 members on the selection committee were from no-name conferences - so I think they wanted more less known schools in the tourney this year!!!!

I was impressed with the way George Mason played against the defending champ North Carolina. They made their shots & NC didn't.

George Mason looked good and I think they will be heading to the elite eight. GM should beat Wichita St. but the cinderella story will end there as UCONN will be heading to the final four from the Washington bracket.

my sleeper team Florida against the Hoyas - Hoyas looked very impressive knocking off the buckeyes but I have the Gators advancing to the elite eight against Villanova.
