Forget my rant...I just dislike college basketball, not hate, but I really think they should be compensated with more than a scholarship..anyone else agree at all?

that is a question..

Thanks Coach. I think the cats are going to dominate the paint. I do hope Miss St gets into the tourney. That team is playing some really good ball.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think Wake Forest is getting in. Six wins over the top 50 doesn't mean much when you've proven incapable of beating anyone in a month.

I didnt think they were very good this year. In fact, I think entire ACC was bad this year. The fact that MD tied for the regular season title is exhibit A.

I think they're in, but it's a lot closer than people will think. Right now I have them as a 10 seed but wouldn't be surprised if they're an 11 or even a 12.

After a lot of debate I have it down to 6 teams for 3 spots (I do think Cal and Minnesota are in, so essentially 4 for 1)- tell me why one over the other:

Note- if Mississippi State pulls out this win that spot disappears.

I guess the Richmond game could have been worse. Nice call on the Cats game coach.
