Then have the other 64 teams play each other to fill in the 32 even seeds (2-64). That would restore some of the luster to the conference tournaments since a win gets you a bye, and also not force all of the mid majors to play each other to see which ones advance to play the "prestige" teams.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303219606391221784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-45712885246834649532010-03-23T20:30:14.909-04:002010-03-23T20:30:14.909-04:00John,

If we get more teams we will get more networks involved and maybe we will get to watch basketball instead of commercials. What are the morons at CBS thinking? How can you attract fans during March Madness if you don't show the whole game? Do they switch teams when watching baseball? NO! Do they switch tournaments when watching golf? NO! I could go on and on (except of course those other idiots that show the Olympics at NBC - but don't get me started. We want to watch basketball. 128 teams. Think about it.<br /><br />Pistol PetePetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03907552531154549207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-3733634230382536772010-03-23T20:27:08.286-04:002010-03-23T20:27:08.286-04:00So when do you think some of the BCS schools will ...So when do you think some of the BCS schools will smell the roses and adopt the mid-majors' philosophy of building a team? The schools that cannot recruit with the Dukes, uncs, KYs, etc would be well served to look closely on how it's done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-47095305886548144932010-03-23T14:57:11.069-04:002010-03-23T14:57:11.069-04:00John - You usually get it right on the money but, ...John - You usually get it right on the money but, Greivis - overrated? Did any of those MD greats have more or less talent on his team? There are 3 players that, traded in for him at the point, might have been able to do what Greivis did with this team - Adrian Branch, Walt Williams & John Lucas...Regardless of Greivis' overall standing among the MD greats, the overrated comment was really just unneccessary and untimely. No need to slap him in the face as he's going out the door. He will be sorely missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-36897496362682091332010-03-23T13:12:50.226-04:002010-03-23T13:12:50.226-04:00If the knock on Gary Williams is he can coach and ...If the knock on Gary Williams is he can coach and can't recruit (see Washington Post 3 part series last year), isn't it time to get a 3 part series on how John Thompson III can recruit but can't coach. Inconsistant play 3 years in a row is a direct result of poor coaching and preparation. Maybe they don't practice at georgetown, they only pose. Practice? Practice?

We certainly can't have anything like this occur again! <br /><br />I would be great to see Cornell send Kentucky and their cheating coach packing. As a Kentucky fan I was deeply disapointed to see the powers that be sell their souls to the devil in order to win. I was rooting for Tubby Smith and Minnesota. <br /><br />Tiger did what he had to do. Choose a time when it would be beneficial to speak. I for one don't want to know anything else. In fact I already know TO MUCH. As for his refusal to answer any questions about Thanksgiving morning. In a perverse way he's protecting Elan. Had he done that prior he wouldn't be in the mess he's in. <br /><br />Count CBS as now officially in Eldricks back pocket for refusing to take the 5 minute interview. I'm sure it had nothing to do with March Madness and everything to do with not wanting to rattle Tigers cage. Now that wimp Jim Nantz has a marker with team Tiger. CBS can claim they didn't want to "pile on" when things were at their lowest for Woods. <br /><br />In a perverse way I'd like to see Tiger win the Masters. Then maybe just maybe we all could get back to gold and away from tabloid journalism. what Tiger did has been going on since the tour began and will go on long after Tiger is retired.Gordonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-980010523927297374.post-19360546818501713162010-03-22T18:43:31.033-04:002010-03-22T18:43:31.033-04:00You can't help yourself can you John?

Now after the tournament is over, The NCAA can claim that expanding the field to 96 gives more teams like Cornell, St. Mary's and Washington a chance to make a run. I mean, who knows if Illinoi, Seton Hall or VCU could have been a final four team if just given the chance...GIANT GLASShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08718474564085889513noreply@blogger.com
