March Madness has arrived, and with it the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament bracket, which was released today. You can check it out below, or go to CBS Sportsline to get a quick printable version in bracket form.
Some of the rants and raves are circulating online, and so far the most buzz I've heard is about the place Wisconsin was put in the bracket, and the BSC teams being placed in a way that limits the ability for more of them to advance.
Of course those teams in the top positions aren't having any of their fans express disappointment, rather they're euphoric about their top rankings.
The No. 1 seeds in the four brackets are UCLA (West), Kansas (Midwest), North Carolina (East) and Memphis (South).
Go to these other Web sites to partake in polls as well.
Were you happy with where your team was placed, or did it miss the tourney all together?
