NCAA College Basketball

I think for us to get the number 1 overall, we got sort of a hard draw. Wake Forest certainly are no joke.

I was involved in an "incident" with the Stanford Tree yesterday after the game.

Jut like a million other folks, I've got UCONN and PITT in the Finals.  No surprise with UNC in the Final Four...but a little surprise with Wake in the Final 4.  Louisville's an excellent team...but they're playing Ohio State in Dayton, Ohio in the 2nd round.  I don't know...just a hunch.

Hell, Cleveland State could knock Wake out 1st round!  I love March Madness...nobody knows what the fuck will happen.

I don't think UConn is gonna make it without Dyson.  If it comes down to them and Louisville in the Final Four I think the Cards will take care of business this time.

Don't underestimate Michigan State.  They may sneak out of that region (as much as a 2 seed can sneak)

Damn Ty Lawson's big toe!!!! Why'd he have to go and get hurt right at the most important time of the year???

I'm a diehard UConn fan who ALWAYS picks them in the tourney to go at least as far as their seeding would indicate if not further.  Mark this year down as the first time I pick them to get upset.  I've got them losing in the Elite 8 to Missouri.  Although it wouldn't really shock me if they lost earlier, OR if they won it all.  I've got Louisville winning it all, but I can't say I feel confident about that.  It's so wide open this year.

UConn will not lose to my Chattanooga Mocs

I've got the Orange losing in the 2nd round to ASU.  I remember them going on a similar run in the Big East tourney a few years back with Gerry Mac and I got suckered into thinking that would carry over into the NCAA's and they lost to Vermont.  Of course, they could very well go deep.  You just better hope Gus Johnson isn't announcing your teams games, IF you're team is the favorite.  He's notorious for getting the "upset" games, for one reason or another.  There's just something in the air when Gus is around.

Mcnamara was injured though

I sure hope you're right.  They nearly made history the last time they were a 1 seed against Albany.  They were losing that game with like 8 minutes left and finally pulled away for a 10 point win with a loaded roster of future NBA players.  That was such an embarassing display.

Louisville scares me cause we always have a tendency to go long stretches without being able to score.

Yeah, Louisville is a lot like D's love life.    Just kiddin' D.   

Am I crazy to think Ohio State has a shot against Louisville in Ohio?  Louisville's lost some games to teams they shouldn't have lost against.  We shall see.

You just know there are going to be some huuuuge upsets.  I can't wait!

These are my 2 most favorite days of the year.  I took work off both Thursday and Friday to enjoy the 12+ hours of basketball each day.  Does it get any better?

[faldor]

I've got to brag while I can because it won't last.  I went 15-1 yesterday with my picks.  I think that's the best I've ever done in a first round session.  I usually get 4-7 wrong or so.  Granted there weren't many upsets yesterday.  I picked Western Kentucky, got Butler wrong.  Today I went for a couple more upsets so things will probably even out.

UConn looked real good yesterday, granted against a 16 seed.  I think that was their most lopsided win of the season.  They started off slowly but their defense just clamped down and they were just way too atheletic for Chatanooga.  And I was impressed by the play of Donnell Beverly in the second half, even though it was in garbage time.  He looked real confident out there, maybe earned himself some more minutes in the rotation.  Looked a heckuva lot better than Craig Austrie has looked in months and he starts.  Again, I realize that's what a 1 seed is supposed to do to a 16 seed, but this team needs some confidence.  Tomorrow will be a true test vs. Texas A&M.  We'll seem what they're made of during that one.  Hope Calhoun is back, poor guy is getting old and is not in the best of health.  He has to lead the NCAA's in missed games or leaving games early due to illness.  He said years ago if he won another championship he'd retire.  I'd hate to see him leave, but for his own good it might be time, so go ahead and win it all for him boys.

First things first though, A&M tomorrow.

UCLA vs. 'nova.

No Final Four this year.

WOW, we may have a cakewalk to the Elite 8

don't want to jinx anything but Siena and then either Arizona or Cleveland St.


U guys didn't join the fight against GNRevolution.

I am in 2nd or 3rd right now trying to hold it down for us.

I'm in there.  I'm at the top, hard to miss me.  Probably won't last too much longer, at least I hope it doesn't becaue I have UConn losing in the elite 8.

Don't take Siena lightly, they're a legit team.

[Axl4Prez2004]

^Yeah, since I knew Faldor was there, he'd win it for us.   (honestly, so many brackets going around, I forgot HTGTH's!  sorry)

my Cuse are in the Sweet 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Oklahomo comin' up next!  I will pull for Gonzaga against UNC too.
