He obviously can't seed very well, but that's still pretty amazing.
Couldn't agree more. As for seeding, your guess is as good as anyone. Obviously, the committee did not think highly of the Big 10 (and rightly so).
The mixed messages they send are ridiculous. Louisville did not get hurt by their poor conference tourney showing, however, Pitt gains a #4 seed even though they finished 7th in the conference? I don't care about injuries (Fields and Cook). Show me what you did on the court.
Unlike last year, I thought a 6 was fair for us and Pitt was way too high.
Go Warriors. Go Big Red.
Pitt won the BET. that's what vaulted them so high.

Big East Tournament Champions is a pretty huge accomplishment on the court. they beat the #1 & #2 seeded teams in the Big East (and us)! #4 seed was wasn't what they deserved, it's what they earned.
Perhaps someone from the committee room was tipping him off again...we need Jay Bilas to confirm this ;)
Jerry Palm also got all 65 correct, and 57 of 65 with one of their actual seed.
Glad Jerry rebounded, he was "struggling" a bit the last few years if I recall. He's a good guy.
Amazing? I'm not so sure about that, every year there are about 3-5 spots that all the "experts" vary on, he happened to nail them all, big deal.
I would like a Joey Brackets T-Shirt.
I would like a Lunardi Fathead. To go with my Erin Andrews one.
