It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

March Madness time! It's when everyone else decides to pay attention to college basketball.




Complain about how your team got screwed on the seeding, and how you had to google where Northern Kentucky is located. Good News! Florida Gulf Coast, last known as Dunk City, is back in the Big Dance.

Edit: Also this link shows the channel each team is on, but the image I thought was too big. http://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/basketball-men/d1

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.

Only way I would be okay with this is if I could see the future and know that a 16 seed takes them down.

I'm still pissed they make the 16 seeds play in play in games. You win your conference you've earned the right to tell your kids you got your rear end beat by a bunch of future NBA guys.

5 Seed for ISU, best we could do. Don't know enough about Nevada though.

Duke is equally likely to beat or lose any team in the tourney because they can't play defense at all so I could totally see this

MSU gets the same seed as Wisconsin.

Wisconsin finished ahead of MSU in the regular season, went two rounds further in the tournament, beat Tennessee, Georgetown, Syracuse, Oklahoma, Marquette in non conference vs MSU's Wichita State and no one.

What the hell

^^--wasn't Wisconsin an 8? Although no real argument that they don't seem like they should both be on the 8/9 line.

North Carolina/Arkansas could be a really fun game if it happens. It could also easily be a relentless beatdown.

They were, but I would consider the 8/9 to be identical seeds

They also faded massively late in the season and we beat them fairly solidly. The end of their regular season was disastrous

Boo, I wanted to be able to pull for Northern Kentucky, my brother went there. Don't like they make them play Kentucky the first round.

Not surprised UK is the 2 in UNC's bracket. Don't like seeing UCLA as our 3.
