    Burst Bubbles

    Buffs, Hookies (shocker!said with sarcasm), 'Tide...

    who would be out to make room for any of them?

    other notables that surprisingly made it or did not make it?

    On the surface, Virginia Commonwealth is a surprise At-Large Selection.

    Any of the three you listed would be better picks.

    UAB & VCU are both surprising. VCU did beat UCLA and Old Dominion and lost to UAB.

    Although "Bust Bubbles" works as well.

    NO sympathy for you, VPI. Next time try not honking a home game against BC after your signature win.

    I would have kicked out either USC or UAB and let in Colorado.

    No at large selection was worse than VCU. That might be the worst at-large pick in the last 5-10 years.
    Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.

    You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner

    You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke

    VCU is pretty surprising. 84th in the Pomeroy. Wins over George Mason (25), ODU (51), and neutral court vs UCLA (53). Losses to South Florida (131), Northeastern (188), and Georgia St. (230).

    UAB is also a surprise. They have no top 50 wins, but no bad losses either. With the exception of the Duke game, their nonconference schedule is pretty bad.

    EDIT: Pretty unsatisfying interview with the Selection Committee Chair on CBS. How the heck do you factor in "style of play" when deciding who should be in? I think Bob Knight has a point when he says few, if any, of these guys on the committee have any real, specific basketball expertise and should not be basing their selections on opinions about teams they watched on TV. Ken Pomeroy made this point recently in his blog as well- people talk about committee members being at games as a good thing but it is not necessarily good.

    No sympathy for VPI in general but I do feel bad for Delaney who seems like a nice kid. Shame he won't get to play in a NCAAT.

    Try New Mexico when Kenny Thomas missed the first half of the season.

    Bilas is hammering the committee. I've never seen him look so frustrated and it seems he has a good case.

    Agreed. But, Jeff Allen won't either so i guess it's a wash.
