Random Thoughts After The First Round

After a weak start to the tourney what a great Friday night finish.

Does anyone remember when Kansas was undefeated and ranked #1?

Why did I put Syracuse through until the Elite Eight in my bracket knowing that they had a difficult Vermont team to get by in the first round?

How does Syracuse get what had to be the last #4 seed after winning the Big East tourney, and then get stuck playing the top #13 seed in Vermont (who really deserved a #12 before ODU or Wisc. Mil.) in Worchester which is an hour from the Vermont state line? Seems like a pretty raw deal for Syracuse.

I guess we should shut up now about UAB.

Re: Your Complaint about Syracuse being forced to play Vermont in the 1st Round.

Before the 1st round I heard a lot of people whining the reverse..How it was unfair to Vermont, because they believed that Vermont would face an earlier exit from the tournament than they deserved...
I feel that it is silly to complain about bracket match-ups, because no matter where you're seeded or who you're matched up with, to make it to the Sweet 16 and beyond, you are going to have to be playing your best Basketball, and even then, you have to hope that you don't run into a team that is playing better than you...and eventually you are going to have to play the other top teams or the teams that played good enough to upset them...
So as for Syracuse's early exit..They have to face it, they didn't play well enough to win the tournament...and could just have easily lost to someone else.

I can't believe that pokerplayr is throwing the Selection Committee handbook in your face while he's claiming that "The NCAA has in place a system which protects the top 3 seeds in each regional." The handbook clearly says in Appendix E, Section III, No. 16: "To ensure equitable competitive opportunities, the committee shall not place teams
seeded on the first five lines at a potential “home-crowd disadvantage” in the first
round."
The committee probably thought that Syracuse wouldn't be at a home-court disadvantate since the schools we're both pretty close to Worcester. There is also no mention anywhere of the S-curve needing to be strictly followed; it mentions a many times that teams should try to be placed in their natural region, and the selection chairman sounded depressed Selection Sunday night when talking about how many teams we're going to have to travel. I think Charlie has it right though, every team in the tournament has to win 6 games against the very best teams in the country, and if Syracuse can't get past Vermont then they weren't gonna beat Duke or anyone else.

Oh I found another brilliant reading comprehension example by the pokerplayr from the handbook. "the NCAA Tournament Committee does have a decree that the top 2 seeded teams from the same conference must not be in the same bracket." Appendix E, Section III, No. 10: "10. Each of the first three teams selected from a conference shall be placed in different
regions."
D'oh! By the way how is your bracket? I've got Illinois, UNC, Duke, and Louisville. My Elite 8 with UTEP, Kansas, and Gonzaga is kind of shot though.
