Southeast is gonna have the 12 and 13 win. Utah State and Belmont are for real. I've taken a lot of flack for it, but just you watch. :wink:

Oh I don't question ya on that...I do think that Belmont will win...but I've started to think that Kansas State will still pull it out (but it will be a great game). Those two games are two HUGE primetime games tonight!

I don't think I have TruTV...but I've got those games going online so I can pay attention to that game while watching the other stations.

Idk about you guys, but i've always thought the Big East has been overrated, i mean yeah they are good, but alot of their wins are just beating up on eachother. They've won 2 titles since 2000, coming in 03 and 04, in the same time frame the ACC has won 5. 5/10 not bad.

The Big East doesn't always have the top team, but they are just an extremely deep conference, mostly because they have 16 teams.

Which one of their 11 teams didn't deserve to be in the tournament? The ACC has had very good top level teams, but the depth of the ACC is garbage.

I just think that some of the Big East schools are over-rated in this tourney...and I'm not so sure that Villanova should be in the tourney or at least they shouldn't be a 9-seed with the way that they finished the season.

Just saying, we'll see again this year when the big bad Big East doesnt win the title.

They probably wont win, like I said before, they don't have the best individual team, but they have the best conference.

Mtgs most of the afternoon starting at 1. I should just take these two days off each year. C'mon W Virginia and Old Dominion, I don't want to start off with a loss.

I've got Xavier and Utah State to do a little damage in their brackets. I almost always ride Syracuse for a while, their zone gives teams problems. I'm looking forward to the St John's/Gonzaga game.

Speaking of rebounding, W Virginia really crashes the boards, they have to because they don't shoot it very well. I love March Madness.

What? I don't have my bracket here, but if BYU and Syracuse could meet up at some point it would be the Jimmer and Scoop show. The announcers would have a hay day. By the way, I sure hope you're wrong, I've got Scoop taking the Orangemen to the Final Four!

I've got to go with duke if kyrie is healthy. Completely different team when smith can play the two guard. And then they won't have to rely so much on the 3 ball
Remember...there is always a little boy in the stands that wants to be just like you, don't disappoint him.

The sirens you may have heard last night were from the fire engines coming to put out the flames in the smoldering pile of ash that was my bracket. I should have realized why St John's had 9 seniors on their team, none of them were good enough to go pro early! Who knew Kevin Faried was a Bill Russell/Wes Unseld hybrid? I heard one of the experts say something good about Utah State and bingo, they became my sleeper team, Sweet 16 bound. Thanks a lot Bilas, Gottlieb or whoever. A plague on both your houses.

Well, I will enjoy the rest of the tournament free of any financial entanglements. I'm pulling for Richmond to be this years Butler. Go Spiders!

I know the feeling...Part of the reason they call it Madness is how MAD Us Poolers get when our upsets or general picks BOMB!! I have but a ray of hope left :P
