Bracket Madness Begins
After the completion of the conference tournaments on Sunday the Kansas Jayhawks are the top No. 1 seed and the NCAA committee’s 65-team bracket is complete.
Three other teams that won their conferences making the No 1 seed spots are Kentucky, Duke and Syracuse. As America’s biggest office pool commences today you can make your picks in the LinesMaker’s free Bracket Buster Contest with $112,000 in prize money up for grabs. The opening round starts in Tuesday with Arkansas-Pine Buff and Winthrop and the tournament will be in full swing on Thursday.
In the conferences the Big East has brought eight teams to the tournament for the third time, the Big 12 has seven and only two from the ailing Pac-10. For the first time since 1966 five of the big-name school did not make the tournament – UCLA, Indiana, Connecticut and Arizona defending titleholders North Carolina.
Favorites Kansas (32–2), with odds of 2/1 at LinesMaker to win the NCAA tournament, open on Thursday against No.16 Lehigh in the Midwest regional.
