With two Philadelphia teams certain to be in the NCAA Tournament, we’ll be watching CBS stretch out the bracket unveiling over a full hour. Predictions for Villanova and Temple? The Wildcats a three, and the Owls a four.
6:02—The four No. 1 seeds: Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, and Syracuse. No surprises there, though does Duke really deserve to be ranked higher than Syracuse?
6:06—The first Masters commercial of the show! No sign of Tiger Woods.
6:09—And the Midwest region, starring the Kansas Jayhawks!
6:11—Kevin Kolb must be proud: Houston a 13-seed, will take on No. 4 Maryland.
6:12—No Temple or ‘Nova in the Midwest bracket. Ohio St. the No. 2 seed; Georgetown No. 3.
6:14—Does the committee need a geography lesson? Spokane, Wash., not exactly in the Midwest.
6:16—Another commercial break before the West region.
6:18—And Buffalo, NY, somehow in the West region. Syracuse with a short trip to Buffalo in round one.
6:19—Kansas St. a two seed? Kevin Martin must have screamed at some committee members.
6:20—No. 6 Xavier won a share of the A-10 regular season title? Since when?
6:22—Villanova and Temple still waiting to hear their names announced. Next up: the East region.
6:25—Florida Gators snap two-year Tourney absence thanks in large part to Tim Tebow’s sheer determination.
6:26—Kentucky No. 1 in the East. Will ‘Nova or Temple join them?
6:27—The Owls will! Temple the No. 5 seed in the East, will take on No. 12 Cornell in Jacksonville.
6:28—Temple will play Friday. West Virginia No. 2 in the East, New Mexico No. 3, and Wisconsin No. 4.
6:30—Popular opinion seems to be Temple and Cornell got shafted. Might have to agree…. Temple will play winner of Wisconsin/Wofford—so Wisconsin.
6:33—Villanova will be in the Duke/South region—unless they were left out of the Tournament.
6:34—Looking forward to Duke losing in the Sweet 16…
6:35—Dunno what an Aggie is, but you can find them in Texas and Utah, apparently.
6:36—‘Nova a two! Off by one on each Philly team. Wildcats the seventh Big East team in the Tourney.
6:37—Notre Dame a six seed?! Name recognition, for sure. Villanova will play Thursday in Providence, RI.
6:39—Eight Big East teams, three Atlantic 10 teams, and eight at-large non-power conference bids.
