Predictable, but still highly irritating.

In what universe Kansas State-Southern Cal and Arizona-West Virginia aren't superior matchups, I'm not sure.

When will the suits that make these calls not pander to the idiots that are so-called "fans" of Puke and South Bend and instead serve the serious college basketball fan? Disgusting on so many levels.

Neil,

Any chance that we'll be getting additional games here on a digital channel?

Viewers upstate get a choice:

(Scroll past the college hockey info, which appropriately appears first!)

Notre Dame basketball under Mike Brey have stunk in the tournament. I could easily see George Mason with the upset. Very few people I know who like Notre Dame football are that enthralled with their basketball program. Same goes for UNC basketball fans loving their pretty solid baseball and football programs.

Duke on the other hand, if they don't make the Elite 8 at worst in that bracket they really have nobody to blame but themselves. They should have been a #3 seed in the UNC's bracket but they had the committee on their side in this case.

I mean Notre Dame fans like football and nothing else. The only college I have ever seen that likes all their sports is Texas.
