I'm sure it's already been mentioned but man I am shocked at the absolute disrespect for MVC. UNI and Wichita St both terribly under-seeded.

you can argue against texas' inclusion, but seeding is different than selection. butler is going to be rewarded for their 6 seed by being an underdog against the 11 seed.

Texas is #20 in KenPom
Butler is #23 in KenPom

Texas a 1 point favorite already

espn's bracket is pissing me off - why do they cancel out all later games when you change a pick, even if it doesn't change things down the line?

Marshall has been begging Kansas to play him for a few years, now he may get his wish.

Maybe Texas ends up doing something in the tournament and maybe they are better than an 11 but there's no way based on their body of work they deserve to be higher. 3-12 against the top 50 is pathetic. They're lucky to not be in Dayton or the NIT.

And their coach is Rick Barnes.

Not saying it will or it's even likely but that would be glorious.

I would kill people

Will be crushed if this team doesn't win it all. 2012 is the only other year I've felt that way.

Yeah AD, MKG, Miller & Co. were special but the 2003 team broke my heart. Bogans doesn't get injured & UK would be going for #10 this year.

Preliminary picks made. Not happy with them.

I'm annoyed that on CBS you can't save your progress on a bracket. Its either submit a complete full bracket, or lose everything.

Maybe ESPN is that way too this year, haven't gone on theirs yet.

so butler deserves to be an underdog?

I used to save incomplete brackets on at least one of the sites all the time. It would be marked "incomplete" until you finished all your picks. It wouldn't count, meaning you couldn't submit it until it was finished. But you could save your progress along the way. Maybe it was on ESPN.

I think this may be the main reason.

This year Kentucky fans will be the only teams crushed. Two fan bases were in that scenario in 2012.

ESPN required submission last year, 99% sure

I hope greg mcdermott goes 4-14 in every conference he ever coaches in for the rest of his life

I thought ND had an argument for a 2 seed but I honestly think Kansas's draw as the 2 in our region is tougher than our draw anyways. Hope Brey can finally get over the first weekend hump.

Not really sure why but Doug McDermott and his dad always reminded me of Zac Efron and his dad in High School Musical
