The first #1 men's team to lose will be...

1. Look, as a Cubs fan I understand reverse paratranstelepsychogenics

I am saying Illinois is going to be the first team to lose so that they don't.

[Counciltucky]

8. Reverse paratranstelepsychogenics...

Would that be antiparatranstelepsychogenics? If so, that's a 29-letter word!

2. Duke and why...

Duke struggles against teams with good post presence, mainly due to depth. Mississippi State or Stanford both have that big man type presence.

[Emboldened Chimp]

3. I think Syracuse will run over Duke

[Mojambo]

6. Washington is the same way and they've got some size in their bracket. n/t

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

9. Everybody struggles against good post presence.

14. Weak in the middle, no bench, can't run

Duke should easily go first.

[Hokie]

4. Sorry Huskies Fans but how are they a #1?

The selection committee royally screwed up the seeding this year. How the hell can Louisville be a #4 seed when they are ranked 4th in the nation. That means they had at least 12 teams ranked ahead of Louisville.

Still, thank god we are not arguing over the TWO best teams that would play for the national championship like the BCS does it in football. Can you imagine that? It would probably be Illinois and NC.

[Mojambo]

5. They simply fell in love with Washington's RPI

I'm not sure I agree with it, but that's the sole reason they got the nod.

[MessiahRp]

7. Actually I have two #1s going out in the third round

I have Washington falling to Louisville and North Carolina falling to Florida.

13. Duke is weaker than UNC.

I don't think UNC gets dumped there.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

10. The Underdawgs will roll.

[JohnKleeb]

11. I went with Washington

[kick-ass-bob]

12. Who plays first? Duke or Washington?

I think they both go out in the round of 16.
To Syracuse and Georgia Tech.

15. Illinois has been over-rated all season

and they'll be lucky to get the sweet 16

[UrbScotty]

16. One problem with calling them 'overrated'

They've only lost one game.

[Tektonik]

17. UNC

Roy Williams will never win the tourney.
