Mandel, Lunardi - #1 seed in Pheonix

[Texas Wahoo]

with UCLA the 2 seed... that would be pretty annoying.

Mandel

Same with Lunardi

Which is why we must root for BC and NC State to pull upsets over Duke and UNC.

But it's still three weeks away.

Obviously a lot of thought went into this - he's got American playing both Duke and Memphis.

I really doubt a blunder in the #15/16 seeds is hardly reason to call the amount of thought he put into this into question....

Either that or my sarcasm meter must be broken again.

This is a tough year to pick #1 seeds. If we get one that's great but you can make easy arguments for others. Same goes if we get a #2 seed.

That said, I'd take that draw in a heartbeat.

Lunardi's bracket has us potentially playing USC in the second round again.

Cool to see that. Amazing what UT has done to get there this past month. Props to them.

S-curve or not, there is something wrong with a system that allows UCLA to be a 2 seed in Phoenix, Duke a 2 seed in Charlotte and even Xavier a 2 seed in Detroit. The same would go for Texas with a 2 in Houston. And the thing is it's not hard to prevent that from happening. Just switch the 2 seeds around and boom! You have a fair bracket! Any of you can take the teams Lunardi has with respect to seeding and, with only a few bumps in seeds up or down to follow rules on not playing teams from the same conference, have a geographically reasonable bracket put together.
