The 2011 NCAA bracket has been released, unveiled on Selection Sunday, with Ohio State, Kansas, Pittsburgh and Duke the four No. 1 seeds, in that order. Locally, Boston University got a No. 16 seed and now is headed to meet the Jayhawks in Southwest Region.
There's no Boston College or Harvard, two local teams that saw their bubbles popped on Sunday -- next up, most likely, is the NIT -- as did Harvard and the ACC's Virginia Tech, continuing Seth Greenberg's never-ending loop of sadness.
Connecticut, the Big East champion after the Huskies won five games in five days, earned a No. 3 seed, in the Weset Region, and will open again No. 14 Bucknell.
The madness begins with a pair of games both Tuesday and Wednesday night in what is being called the First Round before the full insanity tips off Thursday afternoon.
