Followed by Pittsburgh, UNC and UCONN.

Do you agree?

I'm an ACC guy, but I can't dispute the strength of the Big East this year.

I don't think UConn is a #1 at this time, but they look at the "body of work"

This is really the first year in some time where it is just a toss up. No clear favorites.

Ah man, how come UNC always gets the toughest bracket? (yes, I'm a tarheel fan lol).

(sarcasm)

Not gonna like having clemson in with UNC. But was definitely surprised at BC and Maryland getting in. At least they finally showed the ACC some respect. I think Florida state and clemson will make a nice little run, not sure about Wake and BC though.

Would not have been surprised to see Memphis as a #1 instead of UCONN, but as you say, Connecticut had a great overall season.

I thought it was interesting that three of #1 seeds lost in thier Conference Tournaments.

I'm looking forward to watching the Tournament. I'm off work thisThursday and Friday... planning lots of cigars and Bball.

I think Louisville is the weakest top #1 seed than any I can ever remember. No way Memphis is a #1. They are a really good team but thier conference is little better than my local high school conference so of course they are going to win it easily.
