Creighton gets a 10 seed and plays Nevada at a No. 7 seed.

OMFG, I say disband the MVC and put us in the ACC, Big 10, SCC or something. 2 teams out of 5th ranked conference. Top 4 conferences get 4-7 teams in. What a bunch of poodiddie.

I think they should change the name of the Missouri Valley Conference to something more impressive. Missouri Valley makes it seem like a small little redneck conference. I have always thought that.

Stanford at 18-12. what the hecK? What happened to Syracuse???

[MacabreMob]

There you have it.

Every year I get excited about Selection Sunday (like a kid on Christmas) and then I empty my stocking and I get coal.

I tell people every year who get excited.... they say 'this year is gonna be different - blah, blah....'

Ankles grabbed.

I guess some on the committee did NOT want a Valley team to make a run like BU did last year.
They simply decided to shut out any Valley teams that they could, to avoid the embarrassment that Pitt and Kansas had to face last year.

The gurus are all now duscussing how few mid-majors there are this year, way down from last year.

Even a couple they did invite, Butler and Old Dominion have to face each other in the very first round.
This couldn't possibly be coincidental, and it appears this is the year the committee decided there will be NO Cinderellas from the midmajors.

[jasonpeoria911]

CBS rooting for the mid majors, every year in last 4 years, its gone down at least 2 at large bids for mid majors. Saying its losing its charm by having less mid majors. 2 other Conferences ranked behind us have at least 3 bids. What a bunch of crap. I want a committee money audit lol.

WOW

SIU a 4?

Duke a 6?

SIU vs UIUC 2nd round?

Great for SIU! They deserved it.

[georgethedog]

Stanford, rpi of 68.......................... lost 4 of last 5............guess rpi and how you do at the end of the year really does not matter in some situations.

[abraveforlife]

What a joke.

Talk about busted brackets....these are crap. I bet all you NIT fans are jumping up and down right now.

[Grassman]

NCAA Committee should be ashamed of themselves. I do not even want to do a bracket.
Then they have the audacity to match the Mid majors against each other!

Well, there still could very well be a few Cinderellas. Albany, who almost beat UConn last year could be dangerous. Obviously SIU and Creighton could do some serious damage. And of course, Winthrop and Oral Roberts look very dangerous to me as well.

As far as Butler/ODU are concerned, that is a good thing, because we know one team will make it to the second round.
