In case you have come here from a bookmark, I am still working on getting the final site tested.  So, if you try to register or login, you might get some really weird results (including the fact that the 2013 tournament has already happened and there is only 4 entries – myself, Charlie and Katie….  🙂

I am trying to clean up a few things before the tournament starts – once the site is really ready, I will send out the emails to everyone!!!!

In the meantime, I will congratulate Creighton for winning the Missouri Valley bid as well as Lehigh – who at 15-20 – knocked off top-seeded Charleston Southern to take the Big South bid.  Also, my sympathy to Middle Tennessee State.  Went 19-1 in the Sun Belt conference to get a 28-4 overall record and an RPI = 24.  Then, they lost in the quarterfinals tonight of the conference tournament to Florida International.  Now the Blue Raiders will have to wait a week to see if winning almost all their games against relatively weak competition (best wins are Ole Miss and UCF) will be enough.    Wouldn’t be March without these kinds of upset – will this be a sign of things to come….

Should also mention that ESPN and Lunardi have brought Virginia back into the field after their overtime win against Maryland and kicked Tennessee back out.  Guess beating Missouri doesn’t look as great the next day.  🙂   Then again, after having 24 hours to think about La Salle’s blowout loss to Saint Louis, he decided to bump them back up over Kentucky and Boise State – who were only coming off victories on Saturday against teams of similar caliber (or better in the case of Florida) to St Louis.

I guess I can’t talk – I never correctly pick the teams who will make the field (of course, I also don’t get to interview the committee members throughout the weekend either…)
