I hope for Chuck's sake UW advances...but it would probably be better for them to lose in the first round in hopes of dropping to a 10 or 11 seed and maybe face off against the likes of BYU or SDSU in the second round, instead of Kansas, Duke, OSU, etc.

I thought the same thing about the Big East last year Keith....they sent 8 or 9 teams and only 2 made the Sweet 16. I think 11 teams is a joke. Why not just invite the whole effn conference? Uconn, Nova, and Marquette, all at 9-9 in conference play, shouldn't go. I'd rather see regular season champs from mid majors that don't win their conference tourney get the invite instead. Teams like Butler (final last year), No. Iowa (beat #1 Kansas last year), George Mason (Final Four couple years back), etc. add WAY more to the tourney than the 10th place team from the Big East.
