Yep. There's no shame in losing to Wisconsin. They have a damn, damn good defense and they know how to play the game to suit their abilities.

Louisville is probably the only team that should be a lock, and Indiana might have the 2nd best case for #1. I won't be heartbroken if KU ends up a #2, but they have as good of a case as any other team... they would be a lock, but their bad loss was really bad (granted, I tend to look at good wins before bad losses... it was really bad).

The problem with this year is that I essentially view every team as fraudulent. Might as well just throw darts at my bracket.
I agree w/ Bearcat on Gonzaga, but this year it just doesn't matter. Honestly, it rarely will anymore b/c college basketball is such a terrible, terrible product.

C'monnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, better than an 8-seed! That's all I'm hoping for, that the committee doesn't want to potentially throw a 30-4 #13 RPI team with 24 wins in its last 25 games at a #1 seed in the second round.
Also for Southern Miss to get in. Their resume is nothing special because C-USA was spectacularly bad from 3-12, but they're a ****ing beast to play and I love watching them.

Last year there were at least 3-4 teams like Kentucky, North Carolina, etc that stood out.
This year, you might really be better off throwing darts at a board. Indiana can get bogged down in half court games, KU lost a game to flipping TCU. Michigan limped to the finish line. Miami might get caught asleep against a weaker opponent. Duke looked strong with Kelly back, then promptly went out and lost their first game in the ACC tourney. People rip on Gonzaga, and I probably won't pick them to win... but they certainly don't look much worse than everyone else. They pretty much ran through all the Big 12 teams they played this year. |

This year's awesome because no one has any idea what's going to happen.
... which means it's going to be chalk all the way, I guess.
