Out!

WVU joined Syracuse, Florida State, and Kansas State (coached by WVU grad Bob Huggins) as some big conference schools missing the dance. Some matchups of interest for teams we know:

Maryland landed a 4-seed and could have Butler in the second round. Butler has beat Notre Dame, Indiana,Tennessee, Gonzaga, and Purdue this year already.

Pitt received a 3-seed and could play Duke in the second round. I've always said nothing can make me root for Duke, this will put that theory to the test.

VT got a 5-seed. One 5 seed always loses to a 12 seed, here's hoping Illinois is that 12.

Villanova has a first round match-up with Kentucky. A Big East team versus the team that is rumored to be enamored with Coach Beilein.

Louisville has Stanford and possibly then Texas A&M. They have also requested the referees from the game with WVU to have all of their remaining games. Forever.

Georgetown has a 2-seed and either Bobby Knight or Boston College in the second round. Either way I'm a Georgetown fan for the first week of the tournament.

Good luck to everyone with their brackets unless they are in a pool against me. But then if your against me you don't need it since I'll lose 3 of my Final 4 picks in the first day as usual.
