This is great.

Anyone watching the Iona/BYU game? Iona looks fast as hell, similar to Missouri's style of play. Should be interesting to see if the Joseph Smiths can mount a comeback.

Who ya'll got in the final 4?

My picks: Missouri, Kansas, Ohio State, Kentucky

Picked the border war for the championship game - with Mizzou winning.

[Mr. Porter]

Just filled out a bracket for the Yahoo perfect bracket $5 million prize. Final four is Kentucky, Marquette, Florida St., and North Carolina. I've got Kentucky defeating Carolina 77-72. Some notable upsets/picks: UNLV defeating Baylor and Duke en route to losing to Kentucky in elite 8, Long Beach St. defeating New Mexico, Wisconsin defeating Syracuse (not really a surprise pick though), Cal Bears to the sweet 16 but lose to Carolina, St. Mary's defeating Kansas en route to losing to Georgetown in sweet 16

I guess I have South Florida advancing to the Sweet 16 now.

It's been a rough season for us Pac-12ers. Bucknell was kind of a mismatch for us because of their ultra skilled Center. Sigh... I can't wait till next year. At least I get to enjoy the Madness tomorrow morning!!

[Somewhat Damaged]

Fucking pathetic, man.

[Cheddar's Cousin]

I'm in!

[Still-ill]

Syracuse looking shaky!


Also, if New Mexico cant figure out a way to stop Ware from getting into the lane, then theyre gonna be in big trouble.

[Drewbles]

The refs done fucked up in this UNC-Asheville-Syracuse game. Fuck Syracuse.

[Pixiessp]

Damn Syracuse. Almost messed up my bracket.

[Still-ill]

Vandy still has no composure, especially this tinsley kid... Wow.

[Still-ill]

Kevin Stallings really living up to his name.

[unit300021]

Well my bracket it done already. Not in the sense that I have any real upset losses but the fact that I forgot to enter a final score tie breaker so even if I do make it to the very end and tie someone I still lose.

I did think long Beach was going to pull that one out though.

[Pixiessp]

I'm 12 of 12 so far but I think Uconn is going to be my first loss.

[Cameron Frye]

norfolk vs mizzou game is pretty crazy, could be a big upset

[flea73]

The Mizzou game is making me completely unproductive at work.

[dorkfish]

game over.

[Cameron Frye]

shit - the biggest upset i've ever seen live. i was hoping for mizzou to win, since i think it would have made for a better tourney down the road

good job for Norfolk St

[casey]

Ahhh I missed it, but my boyfriend and I have dueling "for fun" brackets up on our fridge and he picked Mizzou to go to the final 4. Yay! I should have bet him a week of doing the dishes or something.

[Mr. Porter]

Damn I feel sorry for the Tigers. Oh well, I picked Marquette to win the region anyway, so nothing too detrimental to my bracket.

[flea73]

The interview with the coach afterwards was pretty nice, he was completely unfazed by beating the 2 seed. That's some confidence.

towards the end of the game, i was surprised how well he was keeping his cool on the sidelines. even when Mizzou hit that long three, he wasn't pissed and seemed like he respected the other team. seems like a nice coach.

[flea73]

It's nice to see coaches like him, Shaka Smart, etc. coach it up and do well on the big stage. As long as they aren't sticking it to my team of course.

[Cameron Frye]

the analyst made a solid point, it wasn't like Mizzou played shitty at all. norfolk just played their best and beat a team that some say should have been given a 1 seed. i'm definitely watching norfolk's next game. good stuff

[flea73]

Absolutely, IMO it's been one of the best opening 2 days I can remember. And I say that in spite of my Aztecs not being big enough to compete/win today.

[tyles]

That's what Mizzu gets for leaving the Big 12.

That said, i wish I could have seen that for my own eyes. Meanwhile, let's see how Kansas does later today...

Because they had an easy run through their conference tourney after a good-but-not-great season? I don't think they're even a 2 seed.


On a separate note: That's right, Lehigh, keep drawing those fouls. Just.beat.Duke.

[york707]

what the fuck

[tyles]

I'm actually a little mad that Mizzu lost. I wanted them to face KU one more time before heading off to what ever hiding place they decided to run away to from the Big 12. Now I don't get that game. Shame on them.
