i kinda read all these complaints about seedings and I have to chuckle..
i think this maryland forward said it best:
"There are about 250, 300 teams that are sitting at home wishing they were in our position,'' forward Tahj Holden said. "I'll take a sixth seed over not being in the tournament.''

how am i going to tackle this tournament?
i think seeding has a small part to play.
1) yes, we all know about 1,2, and 3 seeds advancing to the next round, and i think those games should be profitable.
the 4 and 12 seeded games are tricky ones....
2) conference match ups also helps in capping these games...
(according to espn...)
small conference : horizon / patriot, etc
big dawgs: big 12 / acc, etc
mid major : WAC / Mizzou Valley, etc.
3) pick the fawking winner first, THEN worry about the spread.
and man, there's LOTS of research on the net about this stuff....but don't read so much info where it clouds your vision...cause you can make solid cases for BOTH teams.
