Time to drop Bracket Busters?

Re: Time to drop Bracket Busters?

Any way you slice it, 7 from the big 10 is absolutely absurd. 7 from the Big East is about right, maybe 1 more could have came (Providence should have got in before Zona (what a joke).

Creighton got hosed, St. Mary's got hosed. This is a big time sham job by BCS schools. It is going to take another tournament like 2006 with Bradley, WSU, and George Mason to get us respect again.

No question that Arizona didn't shouldn't have received a bid, but it's not clear in the end that Mid-Majors lost any bids. While Creighton and St. Mary's were left out, Cleveland State and Temple made it, and they weren't going to receive at-larges.

The thing that surprised me was how high USC's seed was. We all assumed that USC had to win the Pac-10 Tournament to make it, and they ended up with a 10 seed. Beating UCLA likely put them in the Tounament.

St. Mary's does have to wonder why they were left out. If Patty Mills was healthy, they don't have a 6-4 stretch. Why wouldn't this have been taken into account more than it was. They do have a beef.

Patty Mills came back and they got destroyed by Gonzaga. There is your answer.

And now Patty Mills is hot again. Watch St. Mary's roll through the NIT . . .
