Bracket Time

A month ago NC State  was on the outside looking in.  This morning the Pack  will head to Pittsburgh as a 8th seed  where they will play LSU a nine on Thursday.  They could lose because they will be playing a team much like them.  They are in the same bracket as Virginia who they lost twice to plus Villanova is  a team just like Virginia is the top seed and could be a second round game.

North Carolina heads to Jacksonville Florida as 4th seed where they run into a Dookie in Tommie Amaker and Harvard.  If Carolina shows up they moved on to round two.  The Tar Heel road to the final four starts in round two if Arkansas is their foe.

Duke will begin in Charlotte as one of the four top seeds and may not have to worry until the final eight.  Duke will not know who they play until one of those play in games has a winner between North Florida plays Robert Morris.

The only other North Carolina team in the tournament is Davidson.  The Cats are a 10 seed and they draw 7 seed Iowa.  If the Hawkeyes sleep in this one the Cats might slip past to the second round.

Virginia drops to a second seed and will play Belmont in Charlotte.  No reason they don't win both games to advance to Sweet 16.  The ACC champ Notre Dame is a three seed and play Northeastern.  I doubt the Irish can shoot their way to an NCAA title six games in a row.  Louisville a four seed gets UC Irvine.  Winning more than once will be a challenge for Cards.

Did any one watch the ESPN 30/30 "I Hate Christian Laettner " was great.  I know you were filling out your bracket but you would be better off waiting 24 hours and do some research before you start filling in teams.  For all of you anybody but Duke haters this gets to when did Duke became Duke?
