Is anybody watching the NCAA Tourney??

Who in the hell is going to win it?

Carolina is down big with about 8 minutes to go. Michigan State, the team that the "experts" picked, lost earlier today.

It's like chaos.

Everything is so unpredictable.

...and shipped us out to Boise ID.... Then, Lo and Behold, both AZ and VA get upset in the first round....and now, Kentucky will have to play the winner of the KS St. and UMBC game. The Cinderella Slipper was the very first 16-seed to defeat a #1-seed. The ghost of Chaminade visits Virginia once again.

I like the Kentucky team this year but they are very young, like the youngest college team in the country, and people wonder if they can stand up to the more senior teams? They have been playing great for the last 5 or 6 games! SGA (KY) may be the best point guard in the country?

It should be interesting to see how this one ends???

Houston was under-seeded and the refs totally disrupt the game by calling 41 fouls.

...they're in the bracket with Duke. They won't beat Duke. Right now, my $$ would be on 'Nova. My final-four picks would be Duke, Cincinnati, 'Nova and Xavier.

...and makes a lot of threes! What happens if someone defends them just a little closer and disrupts their shots somewhat? But Duke is very strong this year. Cincinnati is monster on the boards. And the way A&M defeated Carolina today was rather unpredictable. I like that little school from Chicago, Loyola. (Of course, my heart is always with the Kentucky Wildcats.)

Also, my BF's team/school is still in it too - Kansas St. I'm hoping for K State to beat Kentucky. Wildcats v Wildcats.

Thus some middling teams get higher seeds than they deserve and are easy pickings for hard working teams. UVA did lose their top scorer and didn't take UMBC seriously.

Still in 2nd place in my company's bracket.
