1) UVa was better than any of the last four in (certainly better than Middle-Tennessee St and Boise St, at least

2) Duke was clearly better than Kansas or Gonzaga and arguably better than Indiana, yet those 3 are 1 seeds while Duke is a 2 seed?

3) Miami is being overly punished for some early-season losses; they have been red-hot lately, especially in the ACC tournament, yet they, too, are denied a 1 seed?

I hope UNC eliminated Kansas, NC State eliminates Indiana, and Pitt takes out Gonzaga... and all 4 current plus all 4 future ACC teams make it to the Sweet 16.

Well, after Syracuse wins it all, everything will be better

Sorry, but Syracuse & Pittsburgh are playing for free this year (because the league fka Big East will keep all your winnings). Therefore, when either Duke or Miami or UNC or NC State win it all - THEN everything will be better!

BOOOOOO!

Nothing is ever free. Think of all the free publicity that you'll get when Syracuse wins! (yes, I did that on purpose)

I remember saying Miami was a Final Four team earlier this year and being laughed at. (Or at least thinking it). I hope that turns out to be true.

Do you guys want to do a bracket group for the ACC page on ESPN? Just curious to see if there are any takers!

Yeah we probably should. In the past we've set one up in the Yahoo pickem.

I will pull for Syracuse basketball (OOC, at least) every year... starting NEXT year. For now, I have to pull for, you know, actual ACC teams.
