7:29	Brian Foley - I will begin answering questions at 8pm eastern time...Send in your questions and comments now and I will talk about them when we start the chat. If you have not seen the 2009 NCAA Regional brackets then check them out by clicking here.

7:59	[Comment From Johnny ] 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??

8:03	[Comment From Ryan Rosenblatt ] 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!

8:04	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.

8:04	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.

8:04	[Comment From Johnny ] yeah i would not be happy to be a rams fan right now, they got ripped off!

8:05	[Comment From Craig ] How did UC Irvine end up as the sixth seed? Seems like a bit of a slight.

8:06	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.
