SBTB and March Madness

If there are two things I know nothing about, it's college basketball and Saved By The Bell, which is why this link (thanks Christoff) is so helpful. The article/post compares each Big Ten team to a Saved By The Bell character. I don't know who this Lady Andrea is, but Jessie, be warned. You have some competition.

Speaking of explosive-orgasm-inducing March Madness banter, it turns out I'm a pretty good MEAC, Southland Conference, and SWAC tournament predictor. Ironically, with Lamar's victory over Sam Houston State, history repeated itself. Memories of Mirabeau Bonaparte Lamar's succession of Sam Houston as the President of the Republic of Texas are no doubt permeating the Lone Star State tonight. Man, schools named after my ancestors' descendants are sure awesome.

Oh, and Midwestern Eavesdropping is postponed yet another week due to lack of submissions. Dammit people, eavesdrop!

Oh, and look for the GMYH March Madness Pool, coming soon to a sometimes entertaining blog near you.

I know you're a big IU fan, but what's your take on their seeding?

I wonder who Kelvin is blowing?

Anonymous,
Excluding the infinite wisdom of the Associated Press, who had Florida ranked 7th going into the weekend, Indiana is ranked 28th according to RPI and 20th by Pomeroy. That translates pretty well into a 7 seed.

On what are you basing your opinion that IU deserved a lower seed? I imagine it's the opinion of some little fat guy like Joe Lunardi.

I gotta agree with AC on this one. It pays to play a tough schedule. Then again, we're getting shipped out west yet again, to play a team that will be about 800 miles from home as opposed to nearly 2,200, so Gonzaga and IU might as well switch seed numbers. Then again, going to Sacramento for the first 2 rounds worked out well for IU in 2002.
