Vandy vs. Harvard, very a propos...

I like Goldies post too

4 posts ranting about the ref, then the 5th one is saying he is a dead man

That kid in the Montana celebration is out cold.

I wouldn't want to face Cinci. Yates and Cashmere are lethal right now

The Basketball Gods were good to my TV viewing schedule. Florida, UC, Ohio & X all play on Friday / Sunday.

( I have my Meatballs on Thursday / Saturday)

Cincy got the right seed. They are so hot and cold from the 3 point line though.

I hope Roy has wrung his hands enough over the Kansas situation. I got it back in 2008, but we don't need a bunch of bullshit sentiment this year. Just beat their ass, if it comes to that...

The West looks boring.

After watching their championship, it was clear, they are not that good.

Florida State is very good. I think they might beat Kentucky.

Did A&M make it? No?

Love to see Cal mocking UK fans on ESPN, disingenuously saying "I hear we've got the toughest bracket??" LMAO...

I bet NCSU fans were on the verge of a collective stroke when Gumbel announced their name dead last in the NCAA selection show.

Back to the Heels...Look at all our losses this year:

Two to FSU: Big team who shoots the lights out from three (against us, not against their Ivy League brethren).
UNLV: Spread the floor, drive and shoot threes.
dook*: Bullshit gift from us via a choke, but spread the floor and hit 14 threes.

Only UK beat us playing straight up basketball. In fact, we were the three-point shooting team that day. So with that template, I guess Michigan could get hot and take us out in the Round of 16. Other than that, I have no complaints with our draw. We beat Illinois in St. Louis for all the marbles in 2005, so if it's KU for the regional finals, nut up and win the damn game. They'd play us straight up, just like UK did.

I'd love to have UNC"s bracket

You guys get Creighton? We get UConn

If we don't make the FF, it will be one of the monumental chokes by a UNC squad ever. No way we shouldn't make the FF this year. After that, it's a crapshoot, but if we don't get past Michigan and Kansas, we suck...

Fuck that. I was surprised UCONN actually made it.

Thus guy isnt real right?

I do think UK got hosed with that potential 2nd round match up. But honestly, UConn was on the verge of missing the tourney until Calhoun came back from his surgery. I expect to see UK in the finals on April 2nd. I hope we're there with you.

I admit I don't know anything about Creighton (or UConne for that matter), but I don't even count the first two games. You lose in the first two rounds, you didn't deserve to be in the tourny. That's the definition of choke, not "we got screwed by the committee with our second round matchup." Fuck that bullshit...

Iowa St is also a collection of journeymen who have some decent talent.

Creighton has Harrison Barnes' high school teammate, Doug McDermott, who has posted just ridiculous numbers. With that said, I expect Alabama to beat them and upset the storyline for CBS.

Digger Phelps is just a clown...He's got Michigan State over Kansas for the title. LOL...
