I'm barely interested in filling out brackets these days, but I still love the tournament's first week. As a change of pace from filling out the bracket, what games are you looking forward to the most, or who are you rooting for?

I grew up in a UC household, so I'm pretty thrilled with the draw they got. But after them, I will definitely be pulling for UB, Nevada, Va Tech, Loyola, Butler, C of C, Wright State, URI in the first rounds.

Also, it would be outstanding if U Penn could be the first #16 to win.

And lastly, surprisingly, I think I'll be rooting on The Herd come Friday.

Whoever the Univ. of Tenn. is playing.

Yes, I'm mad that Stallings could have offered two of their starters who would now be at Vandy and he didn't. So, if there is a way Pitt can fire him again this week just to be vindictive, suits me fine. And no buyout... he went 0-18 which was the only coach out of 351 to go totally winless in his conference. Instead of a buyout he should have to refund Pitt this year's salary he got. BTW, I heard that in two seasons, his paltry number of wins cost Pitt $500k each,

And what's with Belmont not playing in the CBI or CIT? Butt-hurt over not getting an NIT invitation? Are they now feeling "entitled" or something?

And what's with this year's CBI and CIT fields? Is this the basketball version of "too many bowl games" football rants? (I like lots of bowl games on TV, but I saw on twitter that tickets for the Ft. Wayne Mastadons game tonight start at $1... why not just make them free?)
