Get ready, Greensboro! Teal Nation is coming!

I'll tell you what. Did the Selection Committee do us a good deed or what? And no, I'm not referring to UNCW as we, I'm talking we, the people who cover them. We, as in the media. Let me explain.

To cover the Seahawks in their run in the NCAA Tournament, I estimated the total cost to be around $2000.00 as a worst case scenario. Now, as is the case with most companies, I would've had to front the cash for this trip and be reimbursed for it later on down the road. One of the larger portions of the cost would've been plane tickets. Now, with Greensboro as the destination, no plane ticket is necessary. Thank you, NCAA Tournament Selection Committee!

Seriously though, how great is it that the Seahawks will be playing only four hours down I-40? Not only will they not have to travel that far from home, but plenty of folks from home can travel with them.

The school's ticket allotment will be all gulped up within the next 24 hours, which means there will be tons of UNCW folks outside of the Greensboro Coliseum looking to buy off of scalpers. Good luck. With Duke likely playing in the same session as the Seahawks, I can't imagine what those prices are going to look like.

Speaking of Duke, I know I may be getting ahead of myself, but how freaking cool would it be if we got UNCW vs. Duke in the second round? I mean, can you think of a more anticipated game in school history? I certainly cannot.

I haven't even really had time to check out the rest of the bracket. I know that George Mason got in and Hofstra did not. That, to me, is a damn shame. Hofstra beats Mason twice in the last two weeks, yet is snubbed in favor of a team with a slightly better RPI and a slightly tougher strength of schedule. I know what the numbers say, but I mean, come on! The Pride knocked the Patriots out of the CAA Tournament. They beat them to end the season and knock them out of the Top-25, yet it's NIT city for'em. Some things just are not fair.

Make sure you tune into Krunch Time on Monday. We'll be doing "Wilmington's Bracket" yet again. For those who weren't listening last year at this time, we had you, the listener, pick game by game in the tournament, coming up with Wilmington's Bracket. And for the record? You guys sucked it up pretty bad last year, too! I expect better things this year.
