as usual, the committee whiffed on some bubble teams and setting up the regions ...... UAB? seriously? and the southeast region is so weak it's ridiculous. who is the ncaa trying to get through to the final 4? Pitt or Florida? The East is sick ......... who hates Ohio State on the committee? They got screwed.
Yup uab bothers me the most BC that bumped out my school UTEP. UTEP WENT TO championship game not good

I love the fact you will be able to watch any and all games this year instead of the local coverage crap that they always used to do in the first few rounds.
UAB won the Conference USA regular season title with a 12-4 conference record 22-8 overall. Why shouldn't they get a shot at the dance?
22-8 doesn't mean crap with that majorly weak schedule ......... they had ZERO wins against the top 50..... colorado got shafted big-time.......... to finish .500 in a major conference and go 4-3 against top 25 teams should get you in .......... and i could make a better case for va tech than UAB too. UAB is not the best 68th they had to choose from. There were at least a few that were better choices.
