Way too many BC players in there. And to have Kemba a 10 seed lol. Much UConn hate in that bracket.

This is on to round 2, plenty of UConn guys still around. Ballot box stuffing time.

No Chris Smith. Cliff Robinson in the sweet 16 and not Kemba. NO. Enough of this list.

Craig Smith taking out Toby Kimball huh?

Should make it strictly New England born New England players then it would be more interesting............

Good point, but the thing is on Boston.com - so its only half a step away from having the Boston College newspaper run the poll. BC guys are going to get a ton of support and if you aren't a UConn fan you don't know (remember) the pre-Calhoun era UConn guys.

I mean you are right that Toby Kimball shouldn't lose to Craig Smith, but Cliff has zero shot against Tommy Heinsohn and Ray can't beat the Cous in Boston. Also Bob Ryan pimped Jimmy Walker to win it all so he likely takes down Emeka. It'll be an

Walker, Cousy, Dr J and Ernie D is a pretty good NE final four.
Its Cousy's tourney to lose factoring in all of the demographics (RI paper obviously Ernie D or Walker wins etc..).

The did do a pretty good job of putting a ton of UConn guys in the tournament and even gave honorably mention to Smitty and a few others that just missed the cut (although they mentioned Hilton and Josh Boone which is somewhat of a reach).
