Using that logic, it must be okay to play all cupcakes then.
Anyways, at the moment it appears to be a moot point with Utah St. up by 14.
They're going to be the #1 overall seed. Historically that team gets to go to a pod close to home.

Top 4 seeds in each region are protected, so they get to play close to home if possible. Carolina playing in Greensboro has been a forgone conclusion for a while. What will be interesting is whether dook joins them. The last time that happened was in 2005 in Charlotte, and 90% of the fans were Carolina fans and they cheered hard against dook. dook even got heckled in local restaurants. :haha I've heard that K was pissed about that and said he never wanted to go through that again. If the selection committee puts them both in Greensboro then it'll be home cookin for the Tar Heels and like a road game for dook.
dook should hope they get sent to Philly which would put them closer to their New Jersey fan base.
Nevada is shooting so poorly in the second half agaist Utah State.
Granted, the Aggies are better, but... anders, I think you can beat Nevada in a game of horse.

29 wins isn't jack if you've played nobody. Utah St doesn't want the selection committee to control their fate.
UConn deserves a 1 seed more than Memphis but I think they both may end up as 2 seeds.

I've always hated the "pod" system.
IMO, it makes the brackets harder to follow. In the pre-pod years, the brackets were crisp and easier to follow.

:up:up:up I agree. I liked the old way better. On the first day, one side of the bracket was done, the next day the other side was done. Short and too the point. Now its all over the place. Im also not a big fan of basically giving certain games in there own backyard. I just think if your going to do that, why dont you just play the games on the home court of the higher seeds like the womens tourney.

30 wins and yet they'll be seeded lower than UCLA.
Yes, Utah State has no good wins, but do the Bruins have ANY decent wins?
IMO, they should be a 5.
This is off-topic, but I want to get it in quickly- Selection Sunday is also my birthday (March 15th)!
