Burger King would like a word.
Of course not, but would you rather head into a tournament after a couple of nice wins or a couple of embarrassing losses? In the end, though, it doesn't matter what either of us thinks. It'll be an interesting game regardless how it turns out.
I am working on my Selection Sunday tidbits, but here is my first one. Kennesaw State is the only new NCAA Tournament team this year. They continue the streak of EVERY NCAA Tournament having at least one team participating in their first ever NCAA Tournament.
Too bad OSU didn't get in, but just not enough good wins. OU and TT pretty obviously didn't deserve a selection.
Not wanting to overlook the 1st round opponent, but I was kind of hoping to avoid any of the top 4 Big East teams. I guess Xavier is probably the best match-up for the Cyclones of those 4.

I've seen enough ISU basketball to know that what happened a week or two prior to the first round simply didn't matter.
Kennesaw State was also TJs first win as head coach at Iowa State.
Some suspect seeding for the Big 12 but end of the day 60% of the league ended up with six of the top 24 seeds in the tourney. Impressive.
And lots of Alabama and Auburn fans live in Birmingham. / sarcasm. They are in different pods, so they won't be at each others games unless they are locals that bought all session tickets.
Will be a tough decision for Alabama fans in the Auburn vs. Iowa match-up. Most will probably just be hoping for a meteor strike and enjoy a nice beverage or two @ Dave's on the Southside.
Not sure if he's more annoying than Jennifer Garner in that ad. Quite frankly, they just need to go back to Spike, Chuck, and Sam if they want to continue them. Jim Nantz is also really annoying.
They must expect other fanbases to be as pathetic as their own. I saw people in hawk gear at both of ISU's games in KC this week. Seriously, who has so little going on in life to do that?
Are they the same session? If so, then you may be right. If not I can't imagine Bama fans are going to spend extra money to root against Auburn.
Just an assumption that Bama fans purchased most the all session tickets when they went on sale as they have known for awhile where they were playing.
