OT: It's March, which means... MARCH MADNESS!

[PR07]

I'm hoping for a 6th seed for Butler, after getting the shaft last year, the selection committee owes us one.

[chatard5]

Yeah, it seems like the committee always gives mid-majors bad seeds, except Gonzaga. How did Gonzaga become "America's team"? I have heard this many times, but think it's dumb. I think if Butler wins they should be 6 (ranked 21-24), maybe even 5 (ranked 17-20). If they lose probably 7 (25-28).

A piece of me is gone with IU irrelevant. I just can't get into March Madness this year.

-I am a huge nerd, or else absolute genious

Did you misspell "genius" on purpose?

I'm never going to stop busting your chops.

No, N5A (M4E), I am nott dum enuff too mispell genious. Sumbudy nedes ta reed a bowk ore sumthing. But the green was supposed to imply a joke, but I don't use it very well.

I was just confused on what the joke was: that you weren't a genius, or that you, as a genius, misspelled the word itself. Or you were awesome, and the joke was both.

Butler winning Tuesday, meaning winning their conference tourny, would help their seeding. I like when they are the 12th seed and upset a couple teams, but i think they deserve a 7-seed, a 6-seed would be nice. They would hopefully beat the 13 seed, and I think they would have a lot better chance at beating the 3 than the 2, but they are a team that could beat anybody if their 3s are falling.

That loss to Cleveland St. hurt Butler. With that loss, I think the best seed they can hope for is a 7 seed.

[PR07]

They'll be lucky to get a 9 seed I think now.

[chatard5]

I think I'd rather have Butler being #12... I think they have a better chance beating #5 and what would probably be #4 than beating #10 and #2.

On a side note, ND lost. My post will not be sent to the NCAA committee.

[chatard5]

The pain is over for IU... Hopefully their 7 new players next year will put them back in the tourny. I trust Crean and think he will just need a year or 2 to turn it around.

Ball State is 2 wins away from the field, which is kind of funny. They some how got the #2 seed in the MAC because they were first in the MAC West even though they were 7-9 in the MAC. The WORST team in the East was 7-9 in the MAC.

I will make a group for RealGMers who are interested in going against one another for bracket bragging rights. Would people prefer ESPN or CBS or what?

[cdash]

ESPN or CBS is fine.

For those who care, here is a nice article from ESPN.com about the tough Hoosiers season:

Syracuse and Uconn in 4 OTs. I don't like either team, college basketball is just awesome.

[cdash]

I love the way the officials are letting the players decide the game rather than calling fouls at the end. NBA, take note.

[chatard5]

The only way you can beat that game is if Erin Andrews is doing the sideline reporting nude. I want Jonny Flynn! What a game!!!

[Grang33r]

How about MY SYRACUSE ORANGEMEN!?!?! What a game. Jonny Flynn is seriously the best player i have ever seen come through Syracuse. Better then Carmelo Anthony.

[Gremz]

What a great game, take that UConn. And yeah, it was a quality game from Flynn.

[cdash]

...am I the only one who didn't think Flynn was that great? He missed a ton of shots right around the hoop and he only shot like 9-24. 11 assists are nice, but he had 7 turnovers.

Congrats to the Cuse though, that was an epic game. I still hate Devendorf though.

[chatard5]

I thought it was incredible that Flynn was still exploding to the basket in the 6th OT. And Devendorf is a tool. I think every "epic" game needs a hero, and Flynn is the guy. That was actually complete BS that I just made up, but it kinda sorta makes sense.
