Actually, there are 6 #16-seed teams in the tournament. 4 of them will play in 2 different 1st round games, with the winners playing the #1 seeds in their brackets. The final 2 #16-seeds will skip the opening round and play the other 2 #1 seeds first.

So, 2 #16-seed teams are guaranteed to win and advance to the next round.
They are not a 16 seed until they win.;)

Arithmatic-wise, you're probably right. ;)

But on the bracket shown at CBSSports.com, the game tomorrow between NC-Ashville and AR-Little Rock shows them both as #16 seeds, and the game Wed. between TX-San Antonio and Alabama St. show them both as #16 seeds.

So, for the field of 68, there are actually 6 #16's, 5 #12's, 5 #11's, and 4 of every other seed. It would make sense to me, except even Mr. Einstein has a puzzled look on his face... :eek:

My wife and I wastched the Final Four there last year it was great. We sat in the recliners right up front and could not have had more fun!! There is a meager $10/HR "cover" but that is not that big a deal. PLUS the sport betting window is right outside the restaurant!!
It's no longer an ESPNZone -- the one in Vegas and the one in NY (along with a few others) closed. The place actually closed completely for a few months, but had reopened under a generic flag when I was there in December. So don't expect any ESPN stuff, but the recliners are still there.

Gary Williams and the Md Terps certainly can't do this!

Oh, how the mighty have fallen!

In the most nationally biased least accurate final 4 predictions of all time:

Syracuse, Texas, Kansas, Gonzaga.

Please don't tell Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. I just had to pick the Ohio State Buckeyes. He won't read this because I know that he has me on his ignore list. In fact, most of you have me on your ignore list. Most of the time I feel like I'm posting to myself.
