The Clock is Ticking...


As we starting counting down the minutes ... some Buffet bracketing notes:

The first two #1 seeds feel pretty much set: North Carolina, Louisville

The second two are very fluid -- Pitt, Memphis, Duke are really the contenders. On merit, it should be Pitt & Connecticut (not listed), but the Buffet is starting to get the feeling that 4 teams from EST won't get #1s, and Memphis going to sneak in, and Duke's top ranked average RPI of wins, plus their overall resume together with the ACC championship make the Buffet feel they get one.

Not ready to call Memphis over Pitt just yet, but putting that on the radar.

Also, it is looking like Penn St, Dayton & San Diego St (with one spot lost if Miss St wins) are batting Arizona, Creighton & St. Mary's for the final 3 at-large spots ...

stay tuned for further Buffet analysis, but based on resumes and top wins, Buffet feels that grouping should be Arizona, San Diego St & St. Mary's (provided we can guarantee Patty Mills' health)

Also, a mailbag within a mailbag, to answer #3 on Paper but #1 in Your Hearts' question -- both the Buffet's Editor and this guy choose to shoot FTs left-handed:

Of course Bo Kimble only shot 3 career free throws left handed (and went three for three) and he was only driven to shoot lefty because of a tragic death. If the buffet shoots lefty to honor Hank Gathers, then more power to it.
