NCAA Tournament Seedings

As I sit here and look at my bracket, i'm still in disbelief. How did Pitt get a #3 seed? Like Billy Packer just said, if Pitt would've made one shot they would've been a #1 seed. PITT GOT SCREWED!!!! Does anyone else disagree with some of the seedings?

I don't think Pitt did so bad in the brackets. You can't really place them ahead of UConn. I'm glad they are not in the same bracket as Kentucky or Duke. They certainly have the opportunity to advance to the final 4. Their bracket is hardly the toughest one out there. I think they have the capability of beating anyone in that bracket.

Pitt doesn't have an overly strong schedule strength and they're offense is awful. Their excellent defense wins games for them. Page is spontaneous. He's a good shooter but one man can't carry you through the tournament.

Another huge factor that often times decides games come tourny time is free throw shooting. As a team Pitt shoots 64.8% from the charity stripe.

Pitt won't make it past the sweet sixteen.

I agree with you once a runner about them not being the toughest bracket. First, they will have to beat a Central Florida team that only has 5 losses. Then look who they have to play to get into the the sweet 16. They have to play a Wisconsin team that won the big team. Wisconsin was another team that I believe got screwed on their seeding. Then if they can somehow pull that one out they'd have Oklahoma State. Talk about a tough road ahead for a team that was so close to being a #1 seed.

Wisconsin will also get Pitt in Milwaukee...that is very important. Wisky matches up well with Pitt. They like the slower rugged game.

i think duke has the toughest bracket by far. The same bracket as Cincinnati ,Illinois, Xavier, Arizona, Seton Hall, Miss. St and UNC. This bracket could go to a number of teams.

I love UCONN's draw by the way.

They get Vermont first.

A WIN gets them winner of Depaul/Dayton

A WIN gets them one of these four to go to the ELITE 8: Vanderbilt/Western Michigan/NC State/Louisiana Lafayette.

I really, really, really like UCONN's bracket on paper.

Pitt won't get past OK State, but i just woke up so I'm not alert enough to make a good judgement.

Wisconsin got screwed more than anyone if you ask me. Ranked #10 going into the Big10 tourney, win the tourney, and get a 6 seed? Are you serious? I have them going to the Elite 8.

I agree with Coach. Connecticut got the easiest way to the final four. They have a legitimate shot of being national champions. Look out for UCONN!!!
