Tourney Seeds

Well Selection Sunday is over and some lost out while others gained. Fans in Illinois and Arkansas are ecstatic that they are in, while Syracuse and Drexel are devastated that they will have to play for a three letter title. Syracuse was robbed, they were hot towards the end in the toughest basketball conference and they sit out while a struggling Illinois team gets to dance. And don't get me started on Arkansas, they aren't even three letter tournament material. The returning champs, the Florida Gators took the overall number one seed and were placed in the easiest bracket, the Midwest. The North Carolina Tar Heels are number one in the hardest bracket the East, which has #2 Georgetown, #Washington State, #4 Texas and #5 Southern California. Good luck in that bracket. Kansas is #1 in the West with #2 UCLA looking for a return to the National Title game. Now to the South, The Ohio State University is number one and will have Memphis at 2 and Acie Law IV and Texas A&M at three. The Gators have the easiest run to the title as overrated Wisconsin, struggling Oregon and Butler will be their opponents. The Gators will only have to deal with the hottest team in the tourney Maryland in a possible sweet 16 match up. With five contenders who could all take the East bracket it is up for grabs. The two teams that stand out are North Carolina and Georgetown but watch out for the Player of the Year, Kevin Durant and his Texas Longhorns. Well this should be fun. Enjoy.
