I miss the selection weekend. Not knowing is agony.Doug Elgin
The magnitude of the weekend hasn't sunk in. It's going to take some time to absorb all this. I think it's pretty clear that parity is here, much more parity than people realize or believe. I think what's happening is a sign of things to come. You're going to see a Colonial or a Missouri Valley team one step away from the Final Four.

They're closer than they've ever been. The difference between 5 and 13 is almost insignificant. You have a No. 13 in Bradley playing a No. 4 in Kansas. I don't think it's a mistake in the seeding. The teams were fairly evenly matched.

It's really helped, I think, to raise the level of officiating. We now look at ourselves differently than we did 15 years ago. We demand more of ourselves.
