Seeding Will Matter Little When Field of 68 is Revealed

                                                                           
     It seems as if tournament seeding is always the big topic of choice in the midst of the Madness on Selection Sunday weekend.  I have a newsflash for you...where you are seeded absolutely will NOT matter in this field, THIS year! They have to put your team some place...just be glad to be included. There are going to be so many upsets on Thursday and Friday that you will have to start your office pool over by next Saturday afternoon!
    I'm not saying that the 'matchups' will not matter, that's still very instrumental in the 'win and advance' pressure cookers we have become accustomed to this time of year.
   Contrasting styles will be always prove a difficult matchup for others...but just remember, how you shoot the basketball is, without question; the great equalizer.  If you are lucky enough to get in this crazy tournament field, don't worry about where you are seeded...well...
   Take the advice of country singer, Rodney Atkins:
 "If you're going through hell...keep on going, don't slow down, if you're scared, don't show it...you might get out...before the devil even knows you're there."
