Overall we feel we did poorly this year. Despite what many peiple perceive as an odd and unusual bracket by the NCAA Selection Committee, we still strive to do better. We can take solace in being the best (along with Michael Lazarus of Fox Sports and Coop at Bracketamology) at projecting the bracket within one correct seed. That is still not up to our standards and we know we can do better.
Check back during the week for updates, brackets and projections for both the NCAA Tournament and the NIT Tournament (I can already assure you we will be taking Tuesday night off to visit Penn State for an NIT game).
Enjoy the tournament and good luck.

Reflections on the bracket
As the brackets were announced we should have had a clue that things were going to be unusual. Things we noticed immediately were:
California a 7 seed ?
George Washington an 8 seed ?
We know the Colonials did not play a very good schedule this season, but what a snub !!!
As the bracket progressed...
Pitt a 5 seed ? .... seems the Panthers are getting snubbed with low seeds year after year.
San Diego State an 11 seed (we should have seen what was about to come from this one)
Then came the Washington DC region.
We were surprised when Utah State was announced, but we were SHOCKED when we saw Air Force come up !!!!!!
..... and then to see Tennessee as a 2 seed ??
perhaps a few weeks ago, but what have the Volunteers done lately ?? I guess losing three out of your last four (and four out of your last six) doesn't make a difference.
The final region was not a huge surprise, except for Nevada as a 5 seed. We thought we were a bit high with the Wolf Pack as a 6 seed, but as a 5 ??? Seems high.
We can not argue much with the three teams we selected and were left out.
We missed on Cincinnati, Missouri State and Hofstra. We half expected to miss on Hofstra (and include Seton Hall), but to include Utah State and Air Force ??
This is by far the most surprising bracket we have seen in the last 15 years.
Reflections: We only got 62/65 right. We can do much better and next year we will do much better. Despite missing three teams, we still had 30 teams seeded exactly right and we had 57/65 seeded within one line of their true seed.
We missed on the three teams we put in and were excluded
We missed by 2 spots on Pitt
We missed by three spots on California, Tennessee, George Washington and Montana (a 12)?
We are left scratching our heads at some of the selections and some of the seedings, but we can only move forward from here.
We will evaluate the brackets; look at the matchups in the NCAA Tournament and post projections and predictions in the next few days leading up to the first day of the NCAA Tournament.

NCAA Tournament Final Bracket 3/12/06
Here is our final bracket for the 2006 NCAA Tournament.
We fluctuated back and forth over whether to include Seton Hall in the bracket or not. In the end, we decided that despite the numerous good wins the Pirates had, their bad losses combined with losing four of their last six games doomed Seton Hall to the NIT. Hofstra was our last team in and Seton Hall was our last team out. We hope everyone has enjoyed the past few weeks of projecting the NCAA Tournament field. We look forward to the next few weeks and as the NCAA Tournament heats up, we will have projections and predictions on the field and the bracket and we will post the entire NCAA Tournament bracket and offer up-to-the-minute updates on every NCAA (and NIT) Tournament game.
Enjoy the MADNESS everyone !

Bubble Wrap 3/12/06
The only game of bubble significance is the SEC Championship between Florida and South Carolina. Should the Gamecocks win, one more bubble team would lose their spot.
South Carolina: The Florida Gators do EVERY bubble team a great service by knocking off South Carolina and pushing the Cocks to the NIT. If South Carolina had won, they would have taken a spot from a team already on the bubble and likely considered to be "in".
Florida: The Gators survive a late comeback bid from the Gamecocks. Joakim Noah scored the game-winning basket for Florida South Carolina tied the game with just under a minute remaining. This is the second straight SEC Tournament title for Florida and head coach Billy Donovan.
Duke: The Blue Devils defeat Boston College by two points and put an exclamation mark on their regular season ACC championship with yet another ACC Tournament championship. This marks the seventh ACC Tournament title for Duke in the past 8 years.
Northwestern State: The Demons fight off two Sam Houston State comebacks and hold on to defeat the Bearkats and claim the Southland Championship. Northwestern State erases the bad memories of a loss in last season's tournament final to Southeastern Louisiana.
Kansas: The Jayhawks proved themselves to the nation with a Big 12 Tournament title to go along with their share of the Big 12 regular season title. The Jayhawks came from behind in the second half to overtake the Longhorns and deny Texas their first Big 12 Tournament title.
Iowa: The Hawkeyes used a stifling defense to hold Ohio State to just three points in the final 7:15 in the second half en route to winning their second Big Ten Tournament title.
South Carolina: The Florida Gators do EVERY bubble team a great service by knocking off South Carolina and pushing the Cocks to the NIT. If South Carolina had won, they would have taken a spot from a team already on the bubble and likely considered to be "in".

NCAA Tournament Bracket Update 3/12/06
Here is our latest bracket update. We will post a final update just before the NCAA Selection show.
Teams in BOLD italics have qualified as an automatic bid.
The list of qualified bubble teams that have been omitted from this year's bracket is a short one-Seton Hall, Michigan, Air Force, Maryland, Utah State, Creighton, Wetsern Kentucky. The only teams that we are vexed on is the Seton Hall Pirates. We had them as our last team out and before the day's end, we might put them back in. In studying the bracket, we are finding more teams that deserve to be left out than teams that should be out in. We are uncertain about Hofstra/George Mason and whether 5 teams get in from the Missouri Valley. We are also unimpressed with North Carolina State, Wisconsin, Alabama, Northern Iowa and Arizona. Traditionally the NCAA Selection Committee has been reticent to include teams that have finished poorly, like these teams. Unfortunately, this years seems to have very few teams with which to replace any of these teams that are slumping. We are confident that we have all 65 teams correct, but if we do miss on any one team, we feel it might be Seton Hall. Regardless, we stand by our brackets and look forward to when the selection deadline.
