walking distances to kansas city.
Clemson, SC – 855 miles
Ann Arbor, Mi – 696 mi.
Norman, Ok – 374 mi.
Baltimor, Md – 1,062 mi.

so we win the distance test. now for the real debate. who wins in a fight? Wolverine vs Tiger?

The Big Ten seeds are 2-5-5-8-10-10-12. That’s an expected performance of 4-7 overall with just Michigan State making the second weekend. The committee didn’t do Illinois, Purdue, or Wisconsin any favors by shipping them out west but the only team that would surprise me if they made the Sweet 16 is Minnesota.

Haha, I couldn’t believe he said that Ian. He wants Augusta National to run the selection committee, apparently.

Coming into the final region there were 7 automatic bids, and 7 ‘lock at-larges remaining to go with North Carolina so there was only one bubble spot left. I was freaking out for a second when i saw that I still had boston college as not announced but then I realized I had forgotten to cross them off. whew!!

Anyone catch Bobby Knight’s comments regarding women on the men’s selection committee. (Paraphrasing) “He and I both agreed that men are going to pay more attention to the men’s tournament. Women are going to pay more attention to the women’s tournament. We really don’t think one should be on the other’s selection committee.”

Jebus. Line of the night.
