Carolina is one of several teams that can beat anyone but they, along with all those teams, can be beaten by anybody. And I don't mean the standard "on any given day" line, this tournament is completely up for grabs. Having said that, my bracket has 3 No. 1 seeds and a No. 2 in Oklahoma, which I have winning it all.

If providence doesn't get them first, it'll be UK's pleasure to wax unc's ass after dispatching iu in a similar manner...

LOL

I still say - UK might lose to IU, but they will not lose to UNC.
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Given recent history, I wouldn't disagree with that. UK is a dangerous 4 seed. On the other hand, the Wildcats probably deserved better than a round 3 matchup with UNC.

IU will do everything short of having a heart attack on to win that game

I'm surprised you feel that strongly about it. Not saying UK couldn't beat us, clearly they could. But after watching a few UK games this year (including a couple of wins and a good game in the loss to KU), I wouldn't be terribly confident that they would beat us, esp. as we seem to be playing our best basketball of the year right now...

It would just be about who wants it more

It's never about that. It's about who scores more points in every game ever played.

I wouldn't use proper motivation as a reason either if I were a UNC fan

Everybody wants to win. Otherwise, why would anyone play a game. That's an amateurish take.

And eCat, I ca assure you that UNC will want it if we play UK. Ya'll have had our number for about the past 7 years, we're pretty hungry for pay back...

So does everybody have UNC-W winning this first game?

I don't, but I wouldn't be shocked if it happens. Duke isn't very good. This bullshit "they're warriors" act that K is pushing is laughable...

I have Wichita St beating Arizona

I went with star driven teams to win so Oklahoma and Michigan St.

Odd features of my bracket...only one 12+ seed upset, and that one I just decided to throw in (Yale over Baylor). However 11 seeds do well, Seton Hall is my only 6 advancing. I have no #1s in the final four.

We're getting old. This place (or whatever iteration of this place we used to hang out at) would be a hive of activity today 10 or 15 years ago...
