Heels's offer took off the record run from SEC

It was not really important whether North Carolina won on Tuesday evening or not.

There are always controversy about the announcement of the NCAA tournament field, since some deserved teams have been left out.

This year, the fingers showed the Tar Heels as an introduction to Indiana, West Virginia, the state of Ohio and the state of Boise, which was sniffed for the 36 AT large teams.

North Carolina was the goal of criticism because his sports director Bubba Cunningham was chairman of the tournament's selection committee.

Cunningham was not only allowed to vote when North Carolina appeared, he also had to restore and leave the room.

Since it is the once basketball power conference, a total of only four teams were integrated in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

North Carolina's invitation made all headlines and took the fact that a record number of SEC teams dances during March Madness.

The 13 AT-LARGE teams and Florida as SEC tournament master gave the football power plant 14 basketball teams and in 2011 deleted the old record of 11 by The Big East. This year Uconn No. 3 beat No. 8 for the championship.

The SEC has two No. 1 seeds, two No. 2 seeds and then it is a 3, a 4, two 6s, an 8, two 9s, a 10 and an 11.

North Carolina probably held the experts from shouting over Texas as No. 11 seeds, although the Longhorns have to win their game-in game, the NCAA prefers the games in Dayton, Ohio, as the first four-Wednesday evening to get into the main body.

From Thursday, 64 teams will be in eight cities that survive.

Now the SEC has to prove that it deserves the record number of teams. Five teams, including Arkansas vs. Kansas, are outsiders.

As usual, it will say UPS and some of the so -called expert predictors that the big one will be in the middle west, where Kentucky No. 3 No. 14 Troy plays.

Kentucky has some nagging injuries and Troy has some positive positive, e.g. The Trojans, who defeated a good team from Arkansa's State to earn his berth, are terrible three-point shooters and meet less than 30%.

The SEC has some work to do, but it only guaranteed big pay days for the next six years, and every time a team wins two and progresses, they earn more.

The razorbacks may have pulled one of the toughest places in the tournament. After the opening of the season, Kansas has a lot to prove in 1st place and then lost 11 games for the second time in a row, most of it for a Jayhawk team from Bill, which inflamed itself.

Arkansas' John Calipari and Self are Hall of Fame trainer with winning CVs. It all has a great game.
