Texas Longhorn Basketball Selection Madness: Release The Kraken!
A four seed. Really? Rick Barnes should print this bracket, tape it to every player's locker, and let them know that the basketball illuminati believe that the Longhorns will lay down like dogs. This seeding is below our resume and that means the committee's subjective opinion of Texas ain't...
Spring Sundry
As Rick Barnes knows all too well, and Charlie Sheen will soon find out, #winning can turn into #losing very quickly. But don't let that stop you from going on a one month bender, Brickhorn. Or just picking up and moving to Switzerland like Toadvine. After losing three of the last four conference...

SEC Places Five Teams in March Madness
The SEC had four in the field for sure and two sweating things out today. Georgia got a dancing ticket, while Alabama's bubble burst. Florida is the best seeded team with a 2-seed in the Southeast region. That's a surprise given that no one had them higher than a 3-seed especially in light of...
Previewing Selection Sunday for the SEC
FLORIDA The Gators are set up to get the highest seed of all SEC teams. Even if they somehow lose in the second round of the SEC Tournament to Arkansas (who must beat Tennessee to get there), they'll end up with either a 3- or 4-seed.
