A win over Butler would really help TJ and this team's momentum for next yr.

Im hoping like heck, but I think the only way we beat UNC is if we shoot over 50%. Garrett Temple is only one man. He cant guard Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, AND Danny Green. And I wont even mention what Psycho T will do to Chris Johnson underneath.

Whatever. They can spin it any way they want. We're starting off the tournament because CBS doesn't want to invonvenience Duke. If Duke doesn't play in primetime the world's gonna end. Don't you know?

another possibility is that NC comes out and places like crap. It has happened this year.

This time slot is an inconvenience for me. I'm flying to Vail on Wednesday and Thursday will be my first day on the slopes for this trip. 10:20 a.m. mountain time tip off does not bode well for me.

I may write a letter.

Wrong, we are starting it off because CBS thinks Butler is going to beat us. What better way for CBS to start the tourney off than with a Mid Major upsetting the SEC Champion.

CBS is trying to make LSU into their bitch...I hope we beat the ever living shite out of Butler and shove it up CBS's arse.

Actually, I think CBS thinks it will be one of the best 1st Rd matchups (2 top 20 teams). I find it so humorous that people really think CBS is out to get anyone.

LSU got absolutely hosed on the seeding of this tournament. Mike Slive has no credibility apparently.

Every year in my tourney bracket I get the first game wrong, so my bracket will definately have Butler advancing.

BIG SHOCKER !!!!!!!!!

CBS wants to maximize ratings! Views LSU/Butler as best chance to do so in the 1st round.

Actually has nothing to do with a like or dislike of LSU. frickin Rantards.

This means we'll be on nationally. For about 5 minutes until Memphis-Northridge tips off. Only three games in the early session though. Should get some decent ratings.

LSU "limped home". A stronger fininsh would have gotten a higher seed. An 8th seed is justied, as would have been a 7th seed, IMO.
