And then there were 64...

The brackets are out!

Hawaii shipped to Tennessee - [insert traditional rant about Hawaii having to travel, the hardships, and so on]

Dear 'Bama, Illinois State, Western Kentucky... - Merry Christmas. Don't say nobody never did nuthin' for ya'.

Dear Northwestern - Yeah, you got hosed.

Stanford v. Santa Clara - Did they do this to Jon Wallace just so Debby Colberg doesn't have to play Stanford in her last year? Thanks for 31 years, Debby! Have fun with the Gophers.

St. John's v. Long Island - The Bronx versus Brooklyn. This is like a scene from "The Lords of Flatbush." If both teams don't come out in leather jackets and pompadours, I'm totally going to be disappointed. Before the first whistle, St. John's should yell "Crazy!" and then Long Island yells "Cool!"

Siena, South Dakota State, Texas State - It's an honor just to get to the tournament, right? Now if you'll step right this way we have some lovely parting gifts...

Albany! Cleveland! - It's like a showdown between America's top two vacation destinations!

Cal Poly v. Xavier - You know, it's almost like the committee did that on purpose. "Dude. Dude! You know what would be totally hilarious? If we made Xavier play Cal Poly again!"
