NCAA Tournament

[SuzySunshine]

It's Tourney Time - woo hoo!

So everyone knows I'm a huge KU fan and they actually have a legitimate shot at the championship this year.

So who are you cheering for?

I put together an ESPN bracket challenge for a lot of my friends from all different walks of life so if you want to be included just PM me your e-mail and I'll send you the group information!

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!

I haven't given this much thought yet (my team hasn't been to the tourney in like 35 years). But I would probably root for Villanova, since they're in conference, but they're not playing well as of late. The same could be said for Syracuse.

I usually do a CBS bracket challenge on Facebook (except last year when I was going crazy about the Match). It allows you to create groups too, either public or private, if my memory serves me correctly. I might be interested in doing the ESPN one too.

huge game tomorrow...my MSU Spartans are playing Maryland. Winner won't have to face Kansas, after they were upset by N. Iowa. GO STATE!

I wish anyone who has to play UNI luck - they really should have been seeded higher then 9 and won't be a pushover to anyone. Granted our 3 point percentage SUCKED but they're no pushover.

I went to UNI, and still live in the same town. Go Panthers!! Everyone here is ecstatic.

I was thinking of you when I found out that Kansas lost! You must be bummed.

And I think every single bracket is shot to hell. I haven't seen anyone who would have predicted Kansas going down, Cornell beating Wisconsin, etc., etc. If someone finds a perfect bracket, please let me know!

At least it's been great basketball so far!!

MSU beat Maryland, so it is MSU vs. UNI. MSU lost our star point guard today with a likely achilles tear, our 2 guard didn't really play today with an injury to the arch in his foot, and one of our forwards has a miniscus tear, but he is playing through the pain. Stinks that we are getting bit by the injury bug during the dance. Should be a good game on Fri night. DW have a dinner with a potential employer for her so hope we finish by gametime.

GO GREEN!

That was a good game, Laker! Congrats - did you get to see it? We were just glad that UNI made it that far!

I'm still reeling from UK's loss to the Mountaineers.

Me too Kelly!

I love how there are some "fresh" faces in the Final Four EXCEPT Duke. I'm disappointed that it wasn't Baylor. I was pulling for them so much! But they completely collapsed in the last 5 minutes of the game. With the exception of that game, the NCAA basically gifted Duke a Final Four. Obviously, there is still a litlte bit more work to do on the men's side with regards to parity, but they don't have as far to go as women's basketball does (see: UConn's team).

I have no idea who to root for in the WVU/Duke game next week. I hate both teams with a passion, but I might have to root for my athletic conference. Sigh.

Has anyone heard statistics on how many people actually picked this Final Four in their brackets?

[Laker]

yes, we watched it. amazing. Love Tom Izzo, he is an excellent coach. So proud of the guys for playing through the injuries and getting it done. GO STATE!
