"Then of course, there is the Charles Barkley factor. As part of the new partnership with Turner, Barkley, Kenny Smith, Reggie Miller and others will be part of CBS and Turner coverage of the Tournament for the first time in its history. The influx of personalities will make the games much more marketable and the Barkley factor alone will drive ratings and interest."

NCSU hangs the banner this year.

2/10/2011 1:17:10 PM

they already hung themselves this year

2/10/2011 1:29:19 PM

looks like they're gonna change up starting times this year too. with the games on their own network (no regional coverage, all national), they're gonna stagger the times from noon to midnight. constant basketball. heaven.

2/10/2011 1:29:33 PM

which banner? There's a banner for every halftime lead hanging in the RBC Center.

2/10/2011 1:30:00 PM

more likely to get a bananer

2/10/2011 1:34:25 PM

wait we had a halftime lead?

2/10/2011 1:43:29 PM

id like a banner for every 15-point lead squandered

2/10/2011 1:46:30 PM

We need to consolidate our Last Place ACC banners first.

good grief dude, they only make so much fabric these days

2/10/2011 3:45:34 PM

they will have invented something cooler than banners for teams to hang from their rafters by the time we win anything

2/10/2011 4:00:27 PM

2/10/2011 5:38:02 PM

why do they still have this on cbs with other non sports shows? that makes no sense.

2/28/2011 4:01:32 PM

not a good business decision by the NCAA

2/28/2011 4:05:43 PM

It's amazing to me that the Triad and Triangle CBS affiliates were the only ones in the country that made every game available.

2/28/2011 4:08:00 PM

? who sucked out the FEEEEEELIN ?

but seriously, even though they're a lock at this point, it would be so fucking funny to see VPI left out again this year

3/3/2011 9:26:51 PM

3/13/2011 5:55:17 PM

i'll post in here because i like my first post better.

3/13/2011 5:59:09 PM

in before dook gets the easiest road to the final 4 despite not being the #1 overall seed

3/13/2011 6:01:29 PM

Barkley is terrible in this format. Lavin made him his bitch.

3/13/2011 6:02:18 PM

Dook.


Clever.

3/13/2011 6:02:25 PM

lol @ "first four"

3/13/2011 6:03:18 PM

Kansas, first #1 out.

3/13/2011 6:03:52 PM

hey Greg Gumbel ... that was Kansas, not Duke

3/13/2011 6:04:37 PM

LOL Gumbel called Kansas, Duke.

3/13/2011 6:04:50 PM

looks like a new graphics set for the tournament. purdy.

3/13/2011 6:09:10 PM

Nova might beat Ohio State.

3/13/2011 6:12:48 PM

god damn East is loaded

wow, Georgia got in as a 10

[Edited on March 13, 2011 at 6:13 PM. Reason : d]

3/13/2011 6:13:02 PM

go Blackbirds

3/13/2011 6:13:28 PM

East is insane

Ohio State
Villanova
Kentucky
Carolina
Syracuse
West Virginia
George Mason
Xavier

[Edited on March 13, 2011 at 6:15 PM. Reason : d]

3/13/2011 6:14:38 PM

East is definitely deep

3/13/2011 6:15:37 PM

well they get their home game in the first and second round

3/13/2011 6:16:09 PM

UNC might be the 6th best team in that region.

3/13/2011 6:16:34 PM

I'd rather be a #2 seed in the East like UNC and get two games in North Carolina than be a #1 seed and get sent out West like Duke did.

Seems like the Devils got the short end of the stick by the NCAA there.

[Edited on March 13, 2011 at 6:18 PM. Reason : .]

[Edited on March 13, 2011 at 6:19 PM. Reason : well n/m. Duke in Charlotte too.]

3/13/2011 6:17:48 PM

Yea, they got the hometeam advantage, but they got some TOUGH teams to go up against.

3/13/2011 6:18:09 PM

lolololol west region playing in charlotte

3/13/2011 6:19:38 PM

[Edited on March 13, 2011 at 6:23 PM. Reason : ^ ahahaha]

3/13/2011 6:22:52 PM

The West is waayyy weaker than the East

[Edited on March 13, 2011 at 6:24 PM. Reason : VT will be in one of the "last four" games]

3/13/2011 6:23:34 PM

yeah, West is shitty

3/13/2011 6:24:30 PM

w00t



obviously they want K to get the wins record this season

[Edited on March 13, 2011 at 6:25 PM. Reason : ]

3/13/2011 6:24:57 PM

UCONN, Texas, and Arizona are strong 3,4.5 seeds. It's not that weak.

3/13/2011 6:25:57 PM

Dammit I was dreading the day that I'd have to watch a Michigan vs. Tennessee game. They are the only teams I pull for outside of NC State. I grew up wanting to go to Michigan (I still kick myself for not applying), and nearly went to Tennessee.

3/13/2011 6:26:04 PM

no va tech

3/13/2011 6:30:44 PM

awesome! best case UT is one and done

and I doubt they will beat Michigan

3/13/2011 6:31:24 PM

One more region.
