OU has Thomas and the only big man I've seen routinely whip MK (a little bit longer and that gives MK fits).

The AAc has 3 teams in, but 2 of them are in the "last 8 byes." He has Tulsa as the third team out

The Big East having six is ridiculous.

Big east is pretty good this year, honestly AAC probably only deserves 3 this year maybe 4.

not so sure the big east is that strong at all this year. Hope we get a chance to take a couple of them out.

I agree. Nova has been en fuego during Conference Play. I'm shocked they aren't getting talked about as a #1 seed.

6 is better than five, you go up the 2/3 side of the bracket instead of the 1/4.

Jacksonville isn't a place I'd heard of before as a site for NCAA games. Here's where they'll be playing: http://jaxevents.com/venues/veterans-memorial-arena/

You cannot say that as a blanket statement. Depends on the year and how large of a drop off there is from 1 to 2/3 and 3 to 4.

At the six, if form held other than your games you have to play 3, 2 and 1. At the five, if form held other than your games you have to play 4, 1 and 2. To make the unqualified statement that 6 is a better spot than 5 you are saying that the 4 seed is a tougher opponent than the 3 seed.

interesting to review RPI list and Lunardi's SMU page. Kind of reassuring that some of us that thought that Texas Southern, Wyoming, Santa Barbara and Eastern Washington looked like pretty darn good, well coached teams were not delusional. Gonzaga playing to full potential and Arkansas No. 2 in SEC. Kind of puts a little different complexion on all the concern in non-conference play considering we didn't have Markus and Sterling was on bench. SMU non-conference opponent's RPI is No. 12-schedule really helped us-not hurt us but that wasn't real clear at the time
