Since Texas, UCLA and Indiana stunk and they made it in.

2. UCONN finished fifth in the American--no way they were getting in without a win today

They didn't get screwed so much as they had a pretty middling year.

3. Before the selection, I said they wouldn't get in unless they won it all...

They would have been a crappy choice, but seeing some of the other crappy choices, why not them?

4. No way was UConn worthy

unless they won the American Weak Conference tournament.

I thought Indiana's bid was deserved, not so much on Texas and UCLA, but UCLA probably beats SMU in the opening game.

5. You mean like last year when they won the American "Weak" Conference

And then won the NCAA tournament?

They're defending champs, so you'd think that would count for something...I never thought they'd get in this year, but Texas , UCLA and Indiana are jokes.

And, yes, the American is weak. The NCAA committee thought so too!

first time ever. Most of the time we suck at Basketball. This is a very exciting year.

I don't know how UCLA got in?

The only iffy #1, IMHO, is Duke, but you knew they were going to get it.
