A tradition like a bunch of others: Running Selection Sunday thread 2012

If you got any NCAA pools going, post them here or PM me. I love them!

 

I can't stand the whining from major conference teams.

In light of George Mason and VCU, so-called "bubble teams," I am inclined to take seriously the complaints of mid-majors with outstanding records.

 

. . . but you can rock and roll.

 

Although I don't Kentucky will lose, and North Carolina could well come back, as of right now it is entirely possible that all of the number one seeds will have lost their conferences tournaments, which I have to believe would be a first.

 

I'd rather see Drexel get in than Seton Hall.

 

I understand the sentiment, but wouldn't be shocked to see both miss out.

 

After last night, all I know is that the team in my avatar is back in the tournament for the third time since 2005. Pretty happy about that. Last time they were in? They kicked the crap out of Georgetown.

 

So who does everyone think is the best Bracketologist? I know Lunardi gets constantly mainlined into our arms this time of year, but it seems his projections aren't as good as, say, Jerry Palm's are. Discuss.

 

Hard to choose among the top tier, since the broad parameters are pretty well-known, now . . .

 

The Big 10 Tourney winner is going to get the last #1 seed.

 

St. Bonaventure is 1:23 away from stealing a bid. But who's? As a CAA guy, I'd like to see Drexel make it, but they have so few good wins. I think VCU was the only tourney team they beat, and they had some questionable losses early in the year. The record and post-Dec. 10 record is gaudy as hell, but the CAA was down this season, so it doesn't mean quite as much.

 

Jerry Palm has Northwestern IN.

Should that happen, I will collapse in abject shock.
