College Basketball 2009-2010 (part 2)

Yes. How does Ohio State, the best of the 2 seeds, end up with the number one overall seed?

West Virginia was the top two seed as they were the other team considered for the final number 1.

[Oldcity]

I realize they were ranked that way, but my comment was mainly my opinion that Ohio State is the best 2. Obviously they did not agree.

[jjfanec]

The Midwest if loaded and I cant really see an excuse as to why all those teams ended up in one bracket.

 

1. Kansas

2. Ohio State

3. Georgetown

4. Maryland

5. Michigan State

6. Tennessee

 

Are you kidding me?

I actually do not think this bracket is great as people seem to think it is. They may be teams with great name recognition, but who has Maryland beat this year outside of Duke? MSU had a bad overall resume. They got lucky playing a Hummel-less Purdue team and OSU once. Tennessee has two really quality wins and not much after that. Georgetown has double-digit losses and is about as streaky as they come. It is a disappointment OSU is in that bracket but I do not think 4-6 is all that good.

I'll admit to being immaturely delighted that UW has a higher seed than MSU.

[Menotti80]

as a duke fan i am VERY happy with their draw. as long as they dont choke again in like they did a few years back against LSU...

 

i was shocked at first when MU got a 6 seed, but now that I am looking at the bracket, I think they deserved a higher seed than almost every 7, 8 & 9 seed in the tournament, so I guess it makes sense...

[paul253]

Does anyone who has ATT Uverse know if they are some alternate channel that is going to air every NCAA tournament game? I had it last season but can't remember. I know TWC usually showed every single game.

[trwi7]

I haven't seen anything on that yet. Usually you get a message on the TV and I haven't seen one yet.

[RyDogg66]

I just did ESPN's "BracketCaster" which is run by AccuScore or something. My final 4 was Maryland, Syracuse, Wisconsin, Duke. Wisconsin beat Syracuse for the title.

Just wanted to note that Buzz Williams was on Jim Rome's radio show earlier today, and what an awesome interview. As a Marquette grad, I felt pretty dang proud and am glad we have Buzz as our coach...

I am a huge Badger fan, but I do like Marquette too. After today, I am a huge Buzz fan. His interview was great......said a ton of great things about Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the fans, etc. Just a class act and all MU fans should be very proud.

 

[Oldcity]

Anyone know if the interview is archived somewhere?

[TheCrew07]

I believe with the updates to Rome's site you now have to be a Rome Insider to listen to archived audio, but I didn't go and look.

[Menotti80]

I listened to it on Romes site, but it should be up on sportsradio 1250's website soon if it's not there already

[Buckylovesbeer]

Well....its 2 minutes before tip-off. Good Luck to all with brackets!

 

Go Bucky and Go MU

[paul253]

So ATT is not showing all the games at once on alternate channels. Does anyone know if Time Warner Cable is?

[berniebrewer4life]

No clue, but you can watch all of the first round from here.

Horrible officiating in Villanova-Robert Morris. Scottie Reynolds got any call he wanted.

[Buckylovesbeer]

I am watching both the NCAA and the WIAA div I boys games......the officiating at both levels has been horrible all day. Lots of good games though

Morris got hosed on several calls. That foul call in OT should have been a jump ball. totally changed the game.

[TooLiveBrew]

Great shot for Murray State. Am I the only one that was surprised Vandy didn't guard the inbounds pass? Murray St. didn't have any timeouts left.

[pitchleague]

Spero Dedes, the PBP guy in the Murray St-Vandy game has got to go. Just a ho-hum delivery the entire game. Even the winning basket by Murray St. evoked little emotion from this guy. I've never heard of him and I hope I never hear from him again. Awful.

 

How can you promote "March Madness" with a PBP guy that you expect to go into promotional ads mode as soon as the final horn sounds as if it's some pre-season game or something.

 

Just atrocious. It completely ruined the ending of that game for me.

[Oldcity]

I said the same thing pitchleague. He hardly raised his voice. CBS needs to have Gus Johnson in a remote studio to take over for these monotones in the final two minutes of close games.

[PeaveyFury]

Spero Dedes is calling the Marquette game tonight.

[TheCrew07]

I don't like this match up for Marquette at all. I didn't watch anywhere near as much basketball this winter as I normally do so I didn't know much about Washington, but after the first 2 minutes it was obvious this was a tough draw for Marquette.

[Buckylovesbeer]

Its also tough that its in Northern California - a short trip for Washington. Sounds like a very pro-husky crowd.

 

Marquette playing tough.......we will see
