hey, you still have 4 years. I just didn't like all the hype ESPN has for Rice. I'm always rooting for the "underdog".... lol, but i mean, i wasn't rooting for bucknell. lol. but today's games should determine more.

Gonzaga lost and Oklahoma is about to lose. Wow. I would have had better luck if I had just picked all of the lower-seeded teams. 😀
 
Jeez, all of these #3's losing are really killing me. I had Oklahoma and Gonzaga going both going to the Elite 8. Arizona better pull through ...

Go WVU! Need them to win to salvage part of my Albuquerque bracket. Gonzaga losing really screwed me over.

HAHA! I'll refer you to a post Pleebie wrote on January 12th:

"pittsburgh lost to bucknell (whoever they are),"

Know who they are now? I gotta thank you though, because its become the most ironic post I've ever seen on here!
Click to expand...
very ironic indeed, i must admit. however, in my defense, i am guilty of nothing but showing support for my own school. it wouldn't matter if KU goes winless for eternity--i will always be a faithful and proud supporter of the University of Kansas and its affiliated sports teams.

The beauty of college athletics is that each off-season is a new beginning: familiar faces are replaced by new ones eager to make their mark. Players and coaches may come and go, but the Program itself lives on. In the words of a great, wise man, "There's always next season...."

ROCKCHALK JAYHAWK
 
What does rockchalk Jayhawk mean?

My mom had both UW-Milaukee wins in her bracket! Ha!

I've got a lot more than 4 more years to cheer for KU basketball - I was a huge fan before going to KU and I'll be a fan when I'm gone. 😉

After last night, everyone's brackets must be sooo screwed up!!!

Well, at least UConn losing opens up the bracket for Wisconsin. I just need Florida to beat Villanova, but that doesn't look like its happening.

Phew, Florida is coming back, maybe they'll take it.

Ahh yes, embarassing to say the least. A very sad day in CT. I have never seen a UConn team play with so little heart and a lack of enthusiasm. It was disgusting. In a strange way, I am glad that they lost for two reasons. First, I think they needed to learn a damn lesson. They were running around like idiots out there and Marcus Williams was the only one trying at all. Second, I don't think any players are going to the NBA after that performance. There was a lot of talk about Rudy Gay, Charlie V, and Josh Boone going in the first round of the draft. That won't happen now. With no seniors on the starting 5 this year (1 freshman, 2 sophs, and 2 juniors), UConn should be a good team next year (top 10). It was the worst game I have seen since they played Syracuse in the Big East tourney. Absolutely vile - there is no excuse for that kind of nonsense. I can't complain too much though - 2 national championships in 6 years gives me a grace period of 7 years during which I am not allowed to be pissed off at my team (according to a friend at least).

Wisconsin got lucky with the NC State win. It would be nice if Villanova could pull off the miracle upset against North Carolina, but I don't see that happening anytime in the near future.
 
After the wake forest loss.....it's safe to say my bracket is BUSTED! I had syarcuse and wake in the final four..... Hopefully UNC and Illinois will come through for me.

It was embarassing, and brought back a feeling we UConn fans haven't really had for a long time. Until today, what was Calhoun? 13-0 in the first round and 10-2 in the second? Too many things went wrong with this team this year, and it culminated in a horrid last 4 games of the year. Charlie's defense down the stretch was just ridiculous...and I'll say this: Rudy Gay and Charlie may be solid NBA players someday, but if either of them leave this year they are committing career suicide. Rudy is too skinny and not assertive/polished enough, and Charlie just doesn't play defense or recognize the need for fundamentals over highlights consistently.

That being said, this game definitely proved the need for guards in college basketball. When your point guard turns the ball over seemingly every other possession, and you essentially have no functional shooting guard, you're most likely not going to win an important college basketball game. Marcus Williams is special, but he has to take better care of the ball. Rashad Anderson gets a pass, Denham Brown has a busted knee too and just hasn't been the same. Very strange to see a UConn team with no shooting guard, and you see the results.

Still...when you look at next year, they shouldn't lose anybody, they bring in another 7 footer, AJ Price will give backcourt depth, and hopefully the shooting guards will be healthy....and no one will have any brushes with death! They'll be one of the top teams next year, but this was an extremely disappointing way to end this one.

I won't say anything bad about Kansas, or any other school for that matter...but c'mon, it's pretty hard to get on UConn and their fans at this point. They've been one of the preeminent teams for the past decade, and one known for getting it done when it counts...but this just wasn't one of those years. Sickens me to lose to a guy like Hodge though...

"Get ready to score a career low"--Julius Hodge, to UConn's Caron Butler in the 2002 NCAA tournament, before Butler scored a career high 34 points in UConn's win
 
Whoa, I have no idea how I jumped so much in the SDN rankings. I used to be in 14th place. 😀

I think a lot of people are busted... but our only hope is that other people are more busted. my final 4 is still in there..

Yeah I was surprised to see myself as high as I am...although no one ahead of me appears to have the OK St.-UNC final that I predicted, which combined with my Louisville final four pick still technically gives me a chance....
after the first day was so boring, things really did get weird in a hurry....
 
Yeah, I'm not doing great, but my final 4 is still there. If Arizona manages to win it all, then I should be set, cause thats 48 pts that no one above me will have.

Correction, 32 pts, cause someone has Arizona in the finals.

I have no clue how I'm in third place right now--I tossed my bracket in the trash after the first round!
 
How does the scoring work? I've picked 33 wins but my score is 43.

I know. After Wake lost, I lost two of my final four teams (the other was Syracuse) and I'm in fourth right now. The bad part is that the games from here on out are worth more points so I should be going down in the next few rounds.

yeah, i figure i'll begin my descent down the list once the sweet 16 games start.
 
I've been in steamboat for the last week and haven't been able to keep up on things but apparently I'm winning 🙂 I doubt that will last long. But two wisconsin teams are in the sweet sixteen and that's something to celebrate ...just imagine all the beer that's going to be drunk over the next few days 😀
PS. Milwaukee doesn't stand a chance (I hope) :meanie:
 
you knew this was coming... GOOOO LOUISVILLE!!!!

I'm so stoked right now. HELLLZ YEAH
