First of all, how was your feel on the selections?
8:01
Brian Foley -  I know seeding teams is very tough every year but I find it hard to believe that a ninth place team in the Big 12 gets an at-large berth over Rhode Island. URI had some great victories this season and OK State really has done very little.

I don't like how UVA got sent to Irvine to play in a Regional for teh second straight year they are on the west coast....Come on....Irvine is a tough bracket though.

The NCAA also didn't give the Big West any credit this year which is shown by Irvine winning the conference by 5 games and Fullerton gets the number 2 overall seed over them??

Northeast teams are struggling to keep programs alive as is so the committee goes out and snubs a deserving URI team for a Big 12 teams that's mediocre at best. Way to go guys!

Colin Weber -  Agree.   Rhode Island put together a tournament resume.   They won 17 games on the road and went 14-2 at home.   If they had the weather to play more home games they would've been able to put together a stronger resume.   I think URI was the biggest snub of the day.

Donald Boyles -  I have to agree with Brian on this about Oklahoma State getting in over teams like Rhode Island. But every year there are teams that get left out.
8:04
Brian Foley -  Agreed totally with this statement. Jim Foster is a great guy and even a better coach and he has seen his alma mater get its program cut in 1999. You can check out our interview with Foster by clicking here.

How did UC Irvine end up as the sixth seed? Seems like a bit of a slight.

Colin Weber -  RPI and non-conference SOS.   They had an outstanding conference record, but they did have a pretty low RPI for a national seed.
