All things considered, not a bad bracket. Bama is tough, but at least Louisville is a more neutral court than Kansas City would be.

Historically it has been considered bad luck when you draw Princeton in the first game of the NCAA tournament. Why am I not surprised it's our first opponent?

That's crazy. It's like we had more to lose than gain this past week. For the record, we won our league tourney, beat ucla 2 out of 3, and went 9-2 vs. Q1, and we got shipped out of the west. ucla was 8-5 vs. Q1.

The West is so loaded that I wouldn't say UCLA won a prize.

Blame the team for not being focused vs Utah, wazzu at home, Stanford, and forgetting to defend anyone the whole game vs ASU

Would've been an easy #1 seed

For the record, you were right. The committee didn’t give a shit about geography when it came to the one seeds. I don’t know that UCLA would have been in the West if they win last night.

You're right, Rondae. But even with these losses, we're freaking 28-6 with as good a tourney resume as anyone in the country, and yet we narrowly avoided being a 3 seed? Whatevs.

Bring on Princeton.

Well, I know what I'll be making time for Wednesday night: First Four matchup between Nevada and Arizona State - winner faces TCU.

The big snubs appear to be Rutgers and especially Clemson, who I don't believe was ever mentioned as "on the bubble." Clemson finishing 23-10 with a 14-6 ACC record.
