A quick quote from Chad:

One thing I have not missed in my non-hoops-watching winter has been the "announcing" team of Mike Patrick and Dick Vitale. I swear, these two reach a level of unprofessional incompetence that is rivaled only by the heads of major financial services firms. 

Amen, brother. Of course, we all know that competence is not a value-add for ESPN; we'll continue to be stuck with the announcers we have until people turn off the TV when Musberger or Vitale are on the audio.

Anyway this is just a brief note to say that once again, I'll be liveblogging the selection show, so come back around six for brackets and random commenting, I suppose.

Oh, and Duke is your ACC champion. The less said about that, the better.
