Look at last years number one seed. With all that I'm leaning toward ohio state. Sure both nc and florida already beat them, but that was when oden wasn't 100% healthy. Now hes playing great and Conley might be the best point guard in the nation. Also texas will beat nc. No one has been able to stop him and its just not him. With abrams and augustine this team is very dangerous. North carolina didn't deserve a number one seed. They were ranked 8th going into last week and who did they play in the acc tournament. Florida state, a tired bc team and nc state. Boy was that impressive and then the committee rewards them a #1 seed! Sorry tarheel fans you will not be dancing in atlanta!
I may be dead last in the bracket when it's all said and done, but I don't even have them dancing in the Sweet Sixteen

Cool
Im with aryan I'll take that bet too. Let me know what you want to bet irish. Also in case you haven't heard yet, Marquette best player Mcneal is out for the tournament. So take michigan state to beat them. They aren't the same team without him. Also watch out for nevada. This team was ranked in the top 25 the whole year and is gonna be a very dangerous team. I was schocked when the committee gave them a 7th seed.

I heard last night that McNeal was only out for the first round game? Did this change today? Got a link?

Not that it would change my braket too much as I had them out in the second anyway.

I don't know what you guys are up for, so just tell me what you guys want to bet and I will most likely do it, seeing as how I'm not going to lose!

Below is a link to the Tourney Preview Joey and I offered last night.. Joe's analysis of the spreads and O/U's for all 32 opening round games is great, and anyone betting these Thurs?fri will enjoy the listen (2nd half of show)...

In the 1st half, he and Dick Packer fill out their brackets, and I doubt you'll hear better insight on the Tourney anywhere...
