Brackets get announced at roughly 6pm on CBS. ESPN gets to take control of the conversation at 7pm.
It seems like there are two deserving #1 seeds (Florida and Wichita State) and then flawed #2 (and #3) seeds that will see two of them in 1 seed spot to be prime targets for derision (Virginia, Michigan, Arizona, Duke, Kansas, Villanova, Wisconsin, Louisville, Iowa State and Syracuse).
Still don’t see the ACC getting more than 5 bids. T.J. Warren is the best player in the conference, and I look forward to him going pro. But I don’t see his NC State squad making the field when they took that long to realize they needed to let Warren score while the rest of the team does everything else.
Pitt will be a 9 or 10 seed by just about any projection. But then again, we know how those things have worked for Pitt before.
I’m kind of hoping Pitt is a 10 seed rather than a 9. I just think this group will respond a lot better with more of a sense of disrespect.

Va Tech fired their coach after only 2 years, in retrospect, maybe Seth Greenberg wasn’t so bad.
2007–08 Wake Forest 17–13 7–9 T–7th
2008–09 Wake Forest 24–7 11–5 T–2nd NCAA 1st Round
2009–10 Wake Forest 20–11 9–7 5th NCAA 2nd Round
Wake Forest: 61–31 27–21
I assume he was caught with the AD’s daughter or something
By the way Gaudio’s incoming recruiting class was 6th in the nation.
When he was fired people were saying Wake is a great job with lots of talent and it will be easy to hire a new coach to take the team to the next level.
Not my flight? I am crushed. However, if you pick up my bar bill at Twin Peaks and any other charges I incur there, we are good.

PMD – Where do you live? PA? Take care my friend. Baseball needs to wake up. We aren’t in Kansas anymore. By the way anyone in for FIU and Miami for Football? Or Baseball in Miami?
We are sort the Ying and Yang on here. I am (perhaps) too optimistic at times and you can be a “dark” force. But. we both want the best for our team.
Am a Pittsburgher originally. Then lived in central PA for many years and now in western VA, near the WV border. Mountains. Boonies. Beautiful, but remote. About two hours in different directions to UVA (Charlottesville) and VT (Blacksburg).

Someone please let these morons know what Jonas Salk did. Salk was a legitimate hero who refused to enrich himself while saving and improving the lives of millions of children. He did his job so well that dorks like these two don’t even know who he is.
Or maybe your upsets early or who you see overachieving in the first few rounds even if they don’t win it or even make Final Four.
Me: head picks are MSU, Zona, Louisville, Syracuse with MSU winning it all.
“Feel” picks are Virginia(the roll continues up to MSU), WSU, Wisc., and of course Pitt(IF they don the DJ headbands).
Early losers I think and hope include, ‘Nova, OSU, Florida, Zags, St. Louis, UMass, UNC and Iowa State.
Early upsets: NCState, SF Austin, Tenn, Dayton.
Watch this entire list be AWFUL. I gotta say, I really don’t have a feel for this year’s field like I have at times in year’s past.
Jamie is #15 (1 ahead of Boeheim)
Billy Donovan also played in a FF. But Manning won one and was the MVP.
Don’t we at Pitt know all to well for we had beaten those Jayhawkers earlier that year in the Rainbow Classic or the previous year.

First we got to beat Colorado.
Pitt is 0-4 in 8/9 games.
Time to get off the schneid.
I don’t know why Pitt fans don’t deluge The Fan with emails, phone calls, etc and get those 2 morons fired.
Cook knows damn well who Jonas Salk is, he’s just trying to belittle any Pitt achievements.
The idiot from Syracuse is…well…just an idiot from Syracuse. When they get beat in the Tourney, time to rub that in his face. The little geek.
First off the programs are at least 50% commercials.
And 2nd off, they have less knowledge than just about everyone on The Blather except trolls from Pedo State & WVcc. Well that might be a tossup.
Thirdly they are what amounts to SportsRadio trolls when it comes to anything Pitt. F’em and don’t listen.
Non participation will eventually kill ’em.
I have watched 4 seasons hoping to see Talib Zanna develop into his potential. There were times I doubted it would ever happen. Now that he is facing possibly the final game of his career I really appreciate the monster game against UNC because it validates the hope many of us had for him. 22/19 ain’t shabby by any measurement. Blair had a few big number, big games but Talib’s numbers are better than anything I remember Grey doing against a top team.
There were a lot of talented players on display and they can brag about the Jabari’s and the Innis’s but Talib had the best individual performance in Greensboro by far.
If Lamar can get his groove back and Talib can stay this focused we might be able to put on quite a show in Orlando.
