The Tournament Field Is So Weak…

I don't have a problem with who got in the NCAA Tournament and who didn't. Oh, and considering how weak the at-large field looks, this is hardly the year to be talking about tournament expansion. Contraction, maybe…

48 sounds a lot better, than 96 right about now. But the real issue is about where teams are seeded and where they were sent.

Take Kansas, congrats on the top seed overall. Your reward is playing in one of the most 'roided out regions ever. You have a nasty number two in Ohio St. Provided they survive their first round game, anything but a lock. A rugged three in Georgetown, a killer 4-5 in Maryland & Michigan St, and the two teams that beat Kansas this year, Tennessee and Oklahoma St. are in the region too. Why not just put them in the NBA's Western Conference? Kansas is the team to beat and if they do win it all, they certainly will have earned it.

Memo to the committee: I know you're job is brutal. I don't want it, but if it's not too much to ask, maybe you can mix in a little balance next time.
