Some initial (and quick) thoughts ...
- I have no real problem with the four No. 1 seeds. It's not the way I would've done it, but it's fine.
- Tennessee shouldn't be the fourth No. 2 seed. It still has the No. 1 RPI and No. 1 strength of schedule.
- I hate that Illinois State did not make the field. Guess losing by 30 in your league title game is a killer.
- Michael Beasley vs. O.J. Mayo in the first round? Excellent!
- Eight teams from the Big East is exactly right.
- Memphis might have to play Texas in Houston in the South Regional final. That sucks for Memphis.
- Wisconsin should be a No. 1 or No. 2 seed. A No. 3 seed is wrong for a Big Ten regular-season and tournament champion.
- It's a good thing for Kentucky that Dwyane Wade is out of college. You remember the last time the Wildcats got Marquette, right?
- I don't like South Alabama vs. Butler in the first round. It seems like a clever way to eliminate a non-BCS team that could make a run.
- Ditto for Gonzaga vs. Davidson in the first round.
