self-nomination--chubbybud

i am very excited to have just witnessed my team, the villanova wildcats, get in the tourney as a no 12 seed vs no 5 clemson. i love the widcats because jay wright always gets the most out of his players and although his teams are almost always guard orrientd, they manage not only to survive but to thrive in the big east. a bad-boy, big-man, beat em down, last man standing type of league. i think clemson gives nova a very tought first round matchup just due to overall size and physical prowess, but if anybody can get his guys ready for a slug fest, its jay wright... if scottie reynolds finds his 3pt touch early this could be one of ur typical 12-5 upsets.

Leaving "no doubt" that the NCAA selection committee likesw to put drama even in First Rd Games... USC v. KSU in Nebraska... Word to wise  TAKE USC,,, Defense too tough  Mr. B may score 50% of KSUs 50 some points and still lose... OJ Mayo, Davon Jefferson, and Taj Gibson too much for the gritty KSU team,  i just thought I'd help a few with your brackets!!

Fight ON!!

HogsRoll07, re: Arizona State- This is the only school from Arizona that deserves to get in ...nobody "deserves" to get into the Big Dance. Yes, ASU did beat AZ 2x this year (and I'm not going to say Bayless was out one game and Wise was out the other), ASU simply beat Arizona.

The key is, who did ASU play when it controlled the schedule? i.e. non-conference games and where did they occur and did they win or lose and how close was the game, et al...check the record, ASU v. UA on that note and Arizona (by the skin of its teeth) eeked out a bid.

ASU did nothing to help its cause by playing cupcakes with a couple of exceptions in its non-conference schedule. Beef up the schedule ASU and you stand a better chance. That's why Arizona is in its 24th consecutive NCAA tournament.  That said, nice avatar. Best of luck.
