Why is Arizona in the NCAA?

They had some impressive wins like Kansas, UClA, Washington, etc.

I'll steal this quote from the MAAC board;

Interesting tidbit - apparently the Committee Chairman, Silve, was on CBS earlier today and said a main focus was "Top 100 wins, especially on the road" - he said that was really going to drive the selections and separate the contenders from the pretenders.

Arizona, against the Top 100 on the road this year?


0-10

Is Dayton gonna beat West Virginia?

Dayton is an 8-8.5 underdog and 350/1 to win their regional.

Oklahoma really got screwed.  They have the toughest road by far.  They open up with a very, very good Morgan State team in round one.  They probably play Clemson and their ridiculous pressing and shooting team round two.  Round three, they would have to play the winner of Syracuse/Arizona State.  Both teams I could hae seen making the Final Four before the brackets were released.

If they win that game, they only have to play tournament favorite, North Carolina. 

Looking at the easiest bracket, the East, Uconn and Memphis will both roll to the Elite 8, with a possible hiccup for Memphis coming against Marqueete if they advance.  I don't like either team, but I don't see a loss there.  It would have been nice to not stack the south so much and spread it out.

Pitt has a tough road as well.  I know some predictng ETSU to be the first to win as a 16th seed.  They have athletes.  And Oklahoma State is VERY good in round two.

Wow Morgan State is terible!  I thought it was Murray State, who looked really good to me earlier this year.  Somebody should have jumped all over me for that!
