Penn State wasn’t good enough for the NCAA yet they win the NIT and knocked off MSU at Michigan. Something even UCONN couldn’t do. PSU got the shaft and the selection committee should be ashamed by their exclusion of the Lions!

Not to pile on but Cleveland State beat Butler last season. As the Bulldogs only lost 4 games the entire year, that marks it as impressive victory.

CSU returned its two best players from that team, J’Nathan Bullock (warrior) and Cedric Jackson (elite Mid-major combo guard).

As a college basketball fan, I am glad to see guys like Bowling Green’s Louis Orr and CSU’s Gary Waters (former Big East coaches) succeeding in Ohio.

This team is certainly unpredictable. You can’t get wins stuck in your head, and you have to go out there and play like you need to win. This next game against Kansas is going to be a hard one. Kansas is in the right state of mind. Michigan State was almost beaten by USC. They need to focus. I choose Kansas to win. If you don’t agree, I guess we will see if the Spartans will prove me wrong.

There are a lot of things that Kansas is doing this year that wasn’t expected of them. With having such a young team, it was a suprise to some that they won the Big 12. I think that they will keep the suprises coming, and possibly pull an upset over Michigan State, making it to the Elite 8. Nonetheless, they have had an outstanding year, and all the fans should be satisfied with the way this team has played all season long. We have had our ups and downs, but we have learned valueable lessons from our mistakes, and have become one of the best teams in the nation. I am proud to be a Jayhawk fan, regaurdless of how much farther they make it into this tournament. May God be with them, and I will never be a “fair weather fan.” GO JAYHAWKS.!!!

Mike -
What do you think about Cleveland state now? Still want to count that as a bad loss for syracuse? After they embarassed Wake yesterday?
Mihm said it already, but….not even close to a bad loss for syracuse

David, Congrats on winning the bracket project and doing so well selecting the teams. I missed one team Arizona and I had St. Mary’s in. I still feel that is how it should have gone but what can you do. Again nice job.

It was clear that last year the selection committee made an effort to protect the big conferences at the expense of the mid-majors. If you remember, every mid major team was scheduled against another mid-major team in the first round last year. It was an obvious attempt by the committe to avoid the potential of embarassing first round losses by the big conferences. Couldn’t you just hear those suits scheming to each other, “will put six of them in, get rid of three right away and sit back and watch the remaining three get beat by winners in the second round”. When that somewhat backfired on them (thank you Davidson) they corrected their mistake by simply keeping the qualified mid-majors (St. Mary’s, Creighton, San Diego St) out of the tourney this year.

@ Otto the Orange,

Thanks for looking so closely. Bear in mind I wrote this March 14th (Saturday before Selection Sunday. I expected Cuse to be a 4-5 seed at this time. You can see the date posted underneath my name in the upper left of the article.
