A day of selection

Selection Sunday is here and it's like Christmas morning here in Lawrence. To celebrate, Jim and I are headed to Kansas City in a couple hours to the Big 12 Tournament title game, where our beloved Jayhawks will face off against Texas. The burnt orange are about to get burnt up by the crimson and blue baby.

Unfortunately for the big 12 and if history is any indication, the outcome of the game will have no bearing on the seedings announced just minutes after the conclusion of the game, so KU's fate is probably already sealed somewhere in an Indianapolis hotel conference room. If KU is in fact going to land a 2 seed, I'd like to steer clear of UCLA in the west and UNC in the east. Here's hoping.

And, since it seems everyone and their pet rock are making bracket predictions these days, here's mine:

West
1 - UCLA
2 - Duke
3 - Xavier
4 - Connecticut

East
1 - UNC
2 - Georgetown
3 - Stanford
4 - Drake

South
1 - Memphis
2 - Texas
3 - Louisville
4 - Pittsburgh

Midwest
1 - Tennessee
2 - Kansas
3 - Wisconsin
4 - Notre Dame

Merry Selection Day, and to all a Rock Chalk!

Hey I don't know if you heard or not, but we got the 1 seed in the Midwest.

I firmly believed that after Tennessee lost that the winner of the KU-Texas game would get the last one seed. However, your choices were not far off. Do you have the same mole that Joe Lunardi does? Somehow, without anything changing and without them even playing a game, Villanova went from being out on Saturday, to being in on Sunday. Someone's selling secrets.
