Can you believe the NCAA had the gall to put DePaul into their tournament? Being a Chicago fan, I`ve watched many of the Blue Demons games this year, and I must say they don`t deserve to be chosen. And once again Marquette gets the snub! On the "Let`s show you the picks" show, Garry Bender stated that DePaul made it by virtue of their victory over Marquette. Good reason! I think the only reason they made it was on name - period. But as they have in the last few years, I expect them to lose in the first round. In other ramblings, I was surprised to see N. Carolina get sent out to the West regional - and seeded 3rd. That`s a mighty big drop, considering they were #1 for almost 3 months. They have really slumped in the last 2 weeks, though. - Watch for Navy to put up a really good fight. - My super outside, longshot, darkhorse is Cleveland State. - The chanmpionship will have one ACC team vs. a Big Ten team. Ah, March madness and spring training - who could ask for anything more. Tom O`Connor
