Andy Katz had us this AM on Mike/Mike going to the Finals vs. FLorida and losing. Eh....I'll take my chances.
He has G-Town vs. Texas A&M and Florida vs. UCLA.

Most importantly, I have the Hoyas winning it all in my bracket - I haven't filled out the rest yet, but I'll just have to work backward from there!HOYA SAXA!

I like Bilas, but he truly gives the shaft to mid-majors. But then again, so do most on this board. Personally, I think Drexel should have gotten in. Arkansas? I don't think so.

I don't think Jay gives the shaft to the midmajors. In fact, I think most of the mid-major snubs were because of failure to win conference tourneys. But yeah, AK makes no sense and Drexel does

Arkansas had no business whatsoever getting in. I suspect they did largely b/c the Committee wanted to slot them so they wouldn't have to worry about whether or not they beat Florida. There is no explanation. Now whether you want to argue that the committee was compelled to choose a mid-major in Arkansas' stead is another matter. Drexel probably deserved to be next, though I'm not sure where Kansas State fits.

Stanford didn't deserve it either. Cuse did; I agree with Wilbon on that one.

Everyone here may not think Arkansas deserved to get in, but Vegas sure thinks they deserved it.
+1.5 or so vs. USC on a neutral court. That's a lot of respect for 12 seed who didn't deserve to get in.
I love checking out the lines for these 1st round games...some real surprises in terms of "favorites" on the seeding lines being underdogs in real life.
Illinois +2.5 as a 12 Georgia Tech -1.5 as a 10 Creighton +1 as a 10 ODU +1.5 as a 12 Gonzaga +1 as a 10
Anywhere from the 5-12 seeds in the first round is a crapshoot...especially this year.
