NCAA Tournament: Who will be the No. 2 seeds?

I have the complexion of an 800-pound woman confined to her bedroom. I can’t close my eyes without seeing dribble-drive dishes for an open three in the corner.  And every sentence ends with a Vitaleian “Baby!”.

I’ve either got a nasty case of that “Basketball Jones” Cheech and Chong sang about or it’s nearly tournament time. Or, like last year, it’s both.

The furious conference schedule has taken over my life. Winter Olympics by day and college hoops by night, leaving little time to shower, shave or brave the now-scary outside world which is full of what I call, “normalites” - or people who don’t dedicate six nights out of their week to the NCAA basketball Gods.

I know I’m not alone. There are plenty of you out there, staying up to 1 a.m. to catch the end of some WAC matchup, practicing your “I told you so” for the office pool and scribbling projected brackets on the front window of your house like Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind.

With just a few games left on each team’s plate before conference tournaments tip off, the No. 1 seeds for the field of 65 are becoming a little clearer. Kansas, Kentucky, Syracuse and Purdue are the consensus among most notable “Bracketologist”.

But the million dollar question is who gets the No. 2 seeds?

The contenders appear to be Duke, Kansas State, Villanova, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Ohio State and the red-hot New Mexico Lobos.

Who are your No. 2s?

I dont know about the loser of cuse/nova. If your saying nova is a 1 seed with a win in that game i dont see it. Also cuse can still get a 1 with a loss.

You have to think about what Cuse very big Resume might look like once the tourney starts. The big Wins in MSG aren't that anymore (Cal/UNC) Fla , Memphis might not make the tourney.

If Nova wins, then wins the BE, I think its Kansas, Tucky (horrible but) Big 10 winner and them. If Cuse wins then they get reg season in BE and that has become a given.

Just an idle thought from a long time Orange fan BUT why is Purdue #3 with 3 loses in big 10 and Syracuse #4 with only 2 loses in the superior big east? Theres no handicapping a secret ballot.It's true syracuse wins in dec are looking less and less impressive.
