Bracket Projections

[blue_devil]

We're less than two weeks from "Selection Sunday" (March 15), and here's our first bracket projection of the week; the second one will be Friday.

It's important to note that this is a projection, not how the field would look if it were decided today.

Teams are grouped by projected seed and listed from strongest to weakest within that seed. At the bottom is a breakdown by league of the number of projected bids and some information on the makeup of the field, the selection committee and the sites.

NO. 1 SEEDS
1. North Carolina (Makes Me Puke)
2. Connecticut
3. Pittsburgh
4. Oklahoma

As long as UNC is a No. 1 seed, it will get to play in Greensboro, N.C., in the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament. Connecticut finishes the regular-season Saturday at Pitt. The Panthers won the first meeting and almost certainly would be seeded ahead of the Huskies if they sweep the season series. Oklahoma trails Kansas by one game in the Big 12, but a mitigating factor that will be considered by the selection committee is that Blake Griffin missed all of the loss to Kansas and more than half of the loss to Texas.

Ya man seein NC up there must turn your gut, I dunno how this tournament is going to shake down, Pitt, OU, look dominant at times, but then bad, UCLA has sucked this year, UCOnn is hit and miss, I really think we could see NONE of the #1 teams make the final 4. I wouldn't bet on it, but it could happen
