AQs: Binghamton, Cornell, Mississippi State, American, USC, Louisville, Robert Morris, Portland State, Cal State Northridge, Missouri, Ohio State/Purdue, Cleveland State, Morehead State, East Tennessee State, Radford, Duke, Utah State, Utah, Northern Iowa, Tennesee-Chattanooga, Stephen F. Austin, Akron, Western Kentucky, Temple, North Dakota State, Morgan State, Gonzaga, VCU, Siena, Memphis, Alabama State

At-large bids: North Carolina, Wake Forest, Florida State, Clemson, Boston College, Maryland, Washington, Arizona State, UCLA, California, Connecticut, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, West Virginia, Villanova, Marquette, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, Ohio State/Purdue, Michigan State, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, LSU, Tennessee, Butler, Xavier, BYU, San Diego State, Dayton, Arizona

The last bid was a close decision between Arizona, Penn State, Wisconsin, St. Mary's and a few others, and the Wildcats' terrible road/neutral resume may end up hurting them. But I just think Arizona's wins over Gonzaga and Kansas and their much tougher schedule will get the 'Cats in over Penn State.

Nailed.

I didnt think so. Who was it that said that, Kellogg? Whoever it was, his sleepers were all #6's or better?

I got 64 out of 65 right. Wisconsin getting in instead of San Diego State was the one I missed.

Not too bad.

I did too. Had Creighton over Ariz, thinking road performance actually meant something in a tournament where EVERY GAME is on the road. But I guess 2-9 is ok these days, not to mention losing 5 of 6 down the stretch.

FWIW I do think Arizona could be a good team but they have underperformed since the new year

well, Villanova is playing their first two games in Philly. I guess they do have to travel from campus to the arena.
