That really isn't an upset at all. Nova probably didn't even deserve to be in the tourney. They finished the season something like 5-11 I think.

Some great games being played...I really screw up with wisconsin, I had them winning three then I scratched them and went for the upset (real smart Winner).

Both the North Carolina Road teams could have lost today....Wow! some good competition

I'm sitting at the 96th percentile right now so I can't complain. Had Richmond and Marquette in the sweet 16. Doubt if anyone really had VCU and FSU in there unless they just picked straight upsets. Had Pitt in the sweet 16, but losing that game so their upset doesn't hurt me much.

Bittersweet day for me today. I had Ohio State winning it all but UNC is my team.

Let's go VCU!!!

I usually hate the underdog but I like the Thunder and Eric Maynor is one of my favorite players, so I've like them ever since he was there.

"Big Least" my rear. U Conn, the ninth seed in the Big East tournament is in the Final Four with 9 wins in 19 days. Bring on unc so Kemba can school them too.

I think if UNC wins, then they'll beat UCONN, but if Kentucky beats UNC, then I think UCONN will be in the national championship.
