but I'm just going to go ahead and apologize now for saying they got screwed with the seeding
I know it was under Gottfried, and I want to say it was the 2000-2001 season where we saw Bama hit the 20 win mark but didn't get an invitation to the dance. The NCAA's explanation that season was a weak OOC schedule.

Now, looking at A&M ...

Some are suggesting the committee was sending a message to Buzz in retribution for his never ending comments about last year's tournament. I'm of the opinion it has to do with their weak OOC schedule along with some unexplainable losses.

Whether it's A or B, I can see the reasoning behind their seeding.



Houston: found in week one of Distractions 101. Sasser's groin injury pulled a string and then seeing Shead dealing with his knee injury pulled a few more. I think Sampson unraveled the knot. He's mentioned "Auburn home game" twice in the last 12 hours (that I've heard/read.) If I've heard it twice how many times has his team heard the same?

No. They didn't look sharp against N. Kentucky. I think their eyes have been on Auburn. If Alabama's staff was buried in research on both WVU and Maryland a few days ago you know Houston's staff has been looking at Iowa and Auburn.



Different song, same notes: Tennessee was looking at Duke and how they'll defend. Flipkowski is Duke's Brandon Miller. Last night it was Roach (guard.) Can Barnes bring out the Grayson Allen side of the Blue Devils and throw them off their game?



Are you comfortable picking Kansas over Arkansas?
 
For those that didn't watch, Houston looked terrible tonight... like they hadn't practiced all week. Had 17 turnovers, and they were some terrible, lazy turnovers. Sampson seemed more worried about the injuries to Sasser and Shead than he was their sloppy play, heading into the auburn game. And yes, he brought up that it was a home game for auburn. If UH plays like they did tonight, auburn will send them home.
But if he makes it to the Final Four what city will it be played in?

Sasser re-injured his groin and Shead has a bad knee as bad as I hate it I could see the barn taking them out.

Heard a guy on a sports talk show in Atlanta this morning who had a perfect bracket so far. He filled it out at his office in 5 minutes. At 7:30 or so this morning he also predicted Kennesaw State would move on … and if they had scored even one basket in the final 6 minutes he would have picked that shocker too. I have never followed college BB very much but it seems to me picking the winners in the tournament takes as much luck as skill. Of course, I could be wrong as I’m only basing that assumption on the past couple of years.
