I'm upset on the seeding of LSU being a #8.... Tennessee lost the SEC Championship Tourny in Tampa and they are a #9.... I think LSU should have been a #6 or #7.... Does it make a difference? YES! My interest in the whole NCAA Basketball Championship Tournament has left the door. I don't plan on watching to see who's going to win and loss these games. NO! If LSU was the #6 or #7 I'd have tryed to watch all I could. FORGET IT!

LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. - The Siena College Saints were awarded the #9 seed in the Midwest Region and will face Big Ten power and #8 seed Ohio State in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament Friday night at approximately 9:40 p.m. in Dayton, Ohio. The #9 seed is the highest ever for the Saints which are making their fifth appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

This year's tournament could be the best ever. I see upsets galore and the strong possibility of a national champion other than a number 1,2, or 3 seed. I can't wait to see. Let the games begin!

This March Madness national champ will be North Carolina. that's my take. The Tar Heels have all the factors to win it all the way. They are a major conference team. they have a good point guard, great depth, rebounds, very good play defense, great in free throws. I think North Carolina will be the number one team when the final buzzer sounds at the final four. If you think who will really win then make your pick prediction at http://pickmarchmadnesswinner.tk/
