At 24-8 overall, they went 13-3 in one of the weakest conferences around, the Atlantic 10.  Outside of that weak conference, they went 11-5.  This team is dancing and Syracuse is NIT'ing it?  Just stupid.  If they get by BYU, Ohio State will mop the gym floor with them, posting a double digit laugher.  UPDATE (post elimination):  If the refs do their job, and Oden's intentional foul is called, they upset the #1 seed.  Sorry, OSU fans, your guy lost his cool and could have injured someone.  Rules are rules and a flagrant/intentional foul is just that and Oden's late foul should have been called what it was: two shots AND the ball.  And good night, OSU.  Too bad, Xavier deserved the win based on the play of the players on the court.

Like most 1 seeds, one and done is the best they can hope for. BYU and Xavier is a toss up for me, but I took the X-men in my primary bracket.

Watch out for Xavier. UMass just beat a very good Alabama team, and Xavier is better than UMass. The A10 is not awful, and this is the cream of that league.
