seems to be pretty good to me.... I would definitely take Air Force out though and put in maybe Arkansas, Stanford or W.Va..... probably in that order too

[GamblinMan03]

My last three out in order were Illinois, Kansas State and Florida State

Reverse Illinois with ODU and you'll have the perfect bracket.

No way, they are just NIT bound.

I certainly hope not.. this Miami three could potentially screw Illinois if Akron gets an at large.

You are on the mark on most I see, but one that STICKS OUT is K-STATE...... No way they don't make the dance, 10-6 conference & beats Tech in second round of Big 12.... If Tech is in K-State =

And K-State????????????

[GamblinMan03]

Kansas St was a tough one, thought about putting them in but they will either be one of the last two in, or last two out. I just feel if they put Air Force in last year, they will put them in this year because they are much better this season.

If I was wrong on any two picks I feel it was Old Dominion and Air Force. And in their places would be Illinois and Kansas St. No one will know till 6pm tomorrow.

Know where you are coming from, no one has a crystal ball except for Dicky V ...... In my opinion no way a K-State team, that was the fourth seed in the Conference Tourny and beat T Tech in second round, can be left out of the dance. I know Tech has beaten three (3) top ten (10) teams, but you can't penalize K-State for that..... Probably will end up screwing a smaller team, but truly believe K-State DESERVES an invitation to the tourny . Just my two cents worth.... Great breakdown on your part, just don't think Big 12 ONLY GETS FOUR IN, no way..... Late, Bbaked
