...NBC came out this week with its first NCAA Tournament projections for the year. And...the MAC has TWO representatives!

Kent State is the automatic qualifier and the #11 seed playing Creighton in Louisville.

Ohio is the at-large selection and the #13 seed playing Wisconsin in COLUMBUS!

let's keep our fingers crossed that these actually come true!

so do i! i can't wait to go even if Ohio doesn't play there. i'm still psyched!

not saying Ohio isnt worthy, but whens the last time an at-large team got in at a 13 seed?

No NIU? Oh, this is BASKETball. Is that the round ball thingy that you try to shoot into a hoop?

2006, Bradley and Air Force.

Given the current structure of the tournament, we won't see at-larges under 12.

It's not too early. I for one would love to see the NCAA basketball tournament played in Jan. Get it done and out of the way so we can get back to discussing football, wrestling and hockey.

You can always talk wrestling. You think CM Punk will carry the title through Wrestlemania?

No way... Everyone knows Dolph Ziggler is going to hold every belt at once by then... including being his own tag team partner.

I taught the fireman's carry to some kids last nite. One asked, "Is that like Cena's finish move?"

Ugh. Not a Cena fan (although I still respect him wearing Gervin's EMU jersey) but I haven't watched WWE in forever. Back to Vince's boring scripts. So I have no clue what Cena's finisher looks like.

Last pro-wrestler I remember hitting a firemans carry was Arn Anderson. A thing of beauty. Arn was a stud.

Dolph is going to lose his belt to Zach Ryder. LOL. Woo Woo Woo!!! LOL

That would be awesome. Dolph is my favorite with Cody Rhodes. Bright future with those two.

Cena's finisher is basically a fireman's carry done emphatically. It's terrible. I want to like Cena (he's basically this generation's Hulk Hogan), but he's just so... bleh.

I hear you, though. If ROH or CHIKARA could get a stable TV spot, it would do a lot of good for the industry.

True, but that's because Dolph is too good now for the US Title (also has held it for half a year- good run). He's getting a main event push and he's basically the only heel over with the crowd right now.

I don't dislike Ryder. Why not put the strap on him and see what he can do?
