March Madness top seeds: Ohio State, Kansas, Pittsburgh, Duke

The top seeds have been announced with the top seeds in the 2011 NCAA basketball tournament going to Ohio State, Kansas, Pittsburgh and Duke. There were some surprise teams that were left out of the tournament which has some people wondering how stuff like this can happen. These are the top 4 teams of the tournament and everyone wants to know who is going to get knocked out first.

Probably the first upset you can bet money on would be Pittsburgh getting out of the tournament early. Pittsburgh walks in with a sad 27-5 record which is not bad but they did lose a few games that were totally unnecessary. Now it stands that the top contenders are legit and that being Ohio State and Kansas sporting 32-2 records going into the tournament. 

Duke are the defending champions but this tournament is too difficult to repeat as champions as typically these winning teams tend to lose players to the NBA. It hasn't been since Florida that won back to back titles and Duke are hoping to take their 30-4 record to push for a repeat championship.
