Guest CanadianChris Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Well, 15 minutes before the selection show, and the at-large bids that are pretty much locks look like this: ACC: Wake Forest, Maryland, N.C. State Atlantic 10: Xavier, St. Joseph's Big East: Syracuse, Notre Dame, UConn Big 10: Purdue, Wisconsin, Michigan St., Indiana Big 12: Oklahoma St., Texas, Kansas, Missouri C-USA: Marquette, Cincinnati, Memphis MWC: Utah, BYU Pac-10: Arizona, Cal, Stanford, Arizona St. SEC: Florida, Mississippi St., LSU, Tennessee So, that leaves 5 bids for (probably) these ten schools: Boston College Seton Hall Texas Tech Butler Southern Illinois UNLV Wyoming Auburn Alabama Gonzaga I think the 5 will be Boston College, Butler, Southern Illinois, Auburn and Gonzaga. Alabama for Southern Illinois is certainly conceivable (although there's no way in hell I'd put the Tide in the field). The automatic bids: Vermont (America East) Duke (Atlantic Coast) Dayton (Atlantic 10) Troy State (Atlantic Sun) Pittsburgh (Big East) Weber State (Big Sky) North Carolina-Asheville (Big South) Illinois (Big Ten) Oklahoma (Big XII) Utah State (Big West) North Carolina-Wilmington (Colonial) Louisville (Conference USA) Wisconsin-Milwaukee (Horizon) Pennsylvania (Ivy) Central Michigan (Mid-American) Manhattan (Metro Atlantic) Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (Mid-Continent) South Carolina State (Mid-Eastern Athletic) Creighton (Missouri Valley) Colorado State (Mountain West) Wagner (Northeast) Austin Peay (Ohio Valley) Oregon (Pacific 10) Holy Cross (Patriot) Kentucky (Southeastern) East Tennessee State (Southern) Sam Houston State (Southland) Texas Southern (Southwestern Athletic) Western Kentucky (Sun Belt) San Diego (West Coast) Tulsa (Western Athletic)

Illinois Butler Boston College... My picks for #1'S... Kentucky Arizona Kansas Oklahoma #2's Texas Pittsburgh Illinois Marquette On an Personal accord...I'm somewhat nervous about U.C... I am sure they will make it...But I dunno Strange things do happen.
Guest CanadianChris Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 HERE WE GO!!!!!!!!! East vs. South, West vs. Midwest this year. #1 seeds: East: Oklahoma South: Texas Midwest: Kentucky West: Arizona No arguments from me, although no Kansas is a surprise. Gotta say, I love these Pontiac commercials.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 No Kansas? Boooo!!! Give Memphis the respect they deserve
Guest bob_barron Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Texas UNC Asheville/Texas So LSU Purdue UConn BYU Stanford San Diego Maryland UNC Wilmington Xavier Troy St. Michigan St. Colorado Florida Sam Houston St.

Gators/Terps in the Sweet 16?
Guest CanadianChris Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 At least put the seeds in, man.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 East-Kansas South-Kentucky Midwest-Oklahoma West-Arizona Oklahoma and Kansas could be switched. The MW region is in Oklahoma City so both teams are sure to bring fans. #2. Seeds Duke Pittsburgh Texas Syracuse
Guest bob_barron Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Even though it should be obvious- here we go- 1)Oklahoma 16)South Carolina St. 8)California 9)NC State 5)Ole Miss 12)Butler 4)Louisville 13)Austin Peay 6)Olkahoma St. 11)Penn 3)Syracuse 14)Manhattan 7)St. Joseph's 10)Auburn 2)Wake Forest 15)East Tennessee St.
Guest CanadianChris Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 East bracket: (1) Oklahoma vs. (16) South Carolina St. (8) Cal vs. (9) NC State (5) Mississippi St. vs. (12) Butler (4) Louisville vs. (13) Austin Peay (3) Syracuse vs. (14) Manhattan (6) Oklahoma St. vs. (11) Penn (7) St. Joseph's vs. (10) Auburn (2) Wake Forest vs. (15) East Tennessee St. There goes two of the 5 bubble slots. If Syracuse can get by Manhattan, they should get to the Elite Eight. Oklahoma/Louisville could be a great game.

Guest CanadianChris Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Midwest bracket: (1) Kentucky vs. (16) IUPUI (8) Oregon vs. (9) Utah (5) Wisconsin vs. (12) Weber St. (4) Dayton vs. (13) Tulsa (3) Marquette vs. (14) Holy Cross (6) Missouri vs. (11) Southern Illinois (7) Indiana vs. (10) Alabama (2) Pittsburgh vs. (15) Wagner UGH. I was so hoping Alabama would miss out. This doesn't look good for Gonzaga. Looking at the games, Weber State is a GREAT Cinderella pick out of this bracket. I think they should make the Sweet 16, and they could give Kentucky a really tough game.
Guest CanadianChris Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 CanadianChris, are you signed up for the Yahoo! Pick 'Em that Kingpk set up? Yes, I was all over that thing.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Always a second behind eh CC? Come on guys- SAY MEMPHIS!
Guest Flyboy Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 This doesn't look good for Gonzaga. Or Texas Tech for that matter.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Or Memphis- SAY MEMPHIS ALREADY! I'm getting a heart attack here
Guest CanadianChris Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 This doesn't look good for Gonzaga. Or Texas Tech for that matter. Yeah, I didn't think Texas Tech had a shot anyway. They needed to at least make the final.
Guest Flyboy Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 This doesn't look good for Gonzaga. Or Texas Tech for that matter. Yeah, I didn't think Texas Tech had a shot anyway. They needed to at least make the final. Damn you, Hollis Price.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 1)Arizona 16)Vermont 8)Cincinnati 9)Gonzaga 5)Notre Dame 12)Wisc-Milwaukee 4)Illinois 13)W. Kentucky 6)Creighton 11)Central Michigan 3)Duke 14)Colorado St. 7)Memphis 10)Arizona St. 2)Kansas 15)Utah St
Guest CanadianChris Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 West bracket: (1) Arizona vs. (16) Vermont (8) Cincinnati vs. (9) Gonzaga (5) Notre Dame vs. (12) Wisconsin-Milwaukee (4) Illinois vs. (13) W. Kentucky (3) Duke vs. (14) Colorado St. (6) Creighton vs. (11) Central Michigan (7) Memphis vs. (10) Arizona St. (2) Kansas vs. (15) Utah State WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Wow, this is a DEEP bracket. Tennessee was the last team out, it looks like. Pencil Creighton into the sweet 16...I don't like the Blue Devils' chances away from Cameron against a really good team. They didn't draw one in the ACC tournament, and they lost quite a few road games in conference play this year.
Guest bob_barron Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 West bracket: (1) Arizona vs. (16) Vermont (8) Cincinnati vs. (9) Gonzaga (5) Notre Dame vs. (12) Wisconsin-Milwaukee (4) Illinois vs. (13) W.

Wow, this is a DEEP bracket. Tennessee was the last team out, it looks like. Too slow again. Memphis got SCREWED. Discuss
Guest Flyboy Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Out of all those teams... I don't have a #1 favorite.
Guest CanadianChris Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Too slow again. I prefer to be better than quicker.
Guest fazzle Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Damn, UNCW gets Maryland. That's...kinda harsh. Well...Go Seahawks anyways! At least they only have to go to Nashville to play, instead of across the country like last year.
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 :::: marks for Bama making the Tourney ::::
Guest CanadianChris Posted March 16, 2003 Report Posted March 16, 2003 Oh, good lord...Packer passes right by BC, Seton Hall and Tennessee and harps all over his boy Knight missing the tournament.
Guest CanadianChris Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Memphis got SCREWED. Discuss Yeah, they got hosed. Wins over Syracuse, Illinois, Louisville and Cincinnati and they're only a seven seed? That's awful.
Guest AlwaysPissedOff Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 I'd have put Texas Tech in over Auburn.
Guest Flyboy Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 :::: marks for Bama making the Tourney :::: Fuck your shitty state.
