It's starting today and I can't wait. Key games I'm looking forward to from today's games.

10 Minnesota vs 7 Texas - I think Tubby Smith is here? I'd love to see him pull an upset.

11 VCU vs 6 UCLA - This is everyone's favorite upset pick so this is one of the few times i would love to see the favorite win. I think even Obama picked the upset here. lol.

10 Michigan vs 7 Clemson - I'm really mystified over this Clemson team and I want to see what they're all about.

12 Northern Iowa vs 5 Purdue - Battle of midwest teams. Should be fun.

10 Maryland vs 7 Californina - MD is notorious for playing to their competition. Cal is supposed to be lethal for 3 pt land.

13 Miss St vs 4 Washington - Miss St beat a lot of quality teams on their run to the SEC tourney championship. I want to see if Washington is legit.

i filled out a bracket but i have memphis going to the final four and they almost lost to fucking northridge so i'm not too optimistic about my prediction brilliance

yeah if american beats villanova i will have already lost an elite 8 team lol

That was a good first half then American couldn't hit any of their shots anymore. And the Philly crowd just went wild in the last 8 minutes so it's all about momentum. That would have been cool if American would have won though.

It's strange there's an inverse relationship between success of your bracket and quality watching experience.

yeah if my bracket flat out happened [which it has so far!!] it would be really fucking boring to watch the tournament

i mean i really like louisville and villanova but it would be much cooler to see teams like morehead state win

or teams like cleveland state

bracket destroyed

LOL OHIO STATE SUCKS

good job Illinois

I'm just happy the Blue Devils finally got to the Sweet 16. People still play them as if they were still a great team, too bad the guys on the floor haven't play up to those standards in awhile. Got a killer class (probably the best class for them ever) in 2011. Can't wait to beat up on the Tar Heels.

Speaking of which, I can't wait to see that faggot Hansjob leave UNC. So sick of seeing his buggy eyes infest my television.

The Nova/Duke matchup will be awesome since they are so evenly matched.

I'm scared to death of Nova. They are going to full court press and dribble drive Duke to hell. Hopefully, Duke can knock down their threes since that's pretty much all we can do over the last several years since JJ came to Duke.

I also can't wait to see how Uconvict preforms after all this recruiting violation business. I hope they get blown out by Purdue. The memphis/mizzou matchup should be good considering both teams like to run and gun.

UNC vs. Gonzaga is going to be an epic matchup. I'm actually hoping UNC wins just so I can maybe see them play Oklahoma. Hansjob vs. Griffin.

i hope hansborough gets ripped up on the pro level by all the built post players

and then his eyes bug out when he cant score a basket

i hope so too tiz

i agree. do you think sidney will be around much longer? one of their top recruits back out of his LOI. if they don't get John Wall (top PG in the country...he's in the raleigh area btw), I think he's gone.

Also, fuck duke. I'm ready for the 2011 season when we finally get some unc type talent.

Good one MSU.

This has been a shitty couple of years to be a Big Ten fan of basically any sport.

I don't think anyone's terribly broken up about MSU though. They got further than they should've and played well until the last game. If someone wanted to criticize, they certainly could have drawn up comparisons to OSU/Michigan(2006)/etc. bombing in their final games, but no one was expecting MSU here.

UNC looked like men playing against boys the entire tournament. They're not really that good. I watched every game this year and was never impressed until they got into the tournament. Then again, great teams rise to the occasion. Unlike most of the ACC teams, they're one of the few that actually performed well. I'm just happy I don't have to see the bug-eyed faggot hansjob anymore.

If UNC gets John Wall next year, expect them to have a chance to repeat. Wall is a pointguard on here in Raleigh that's been compared to Pete Maravich (he's that good). Right now he's down to Kansas, Duke, Kentucky and UNC. I REALLY hope he doesn't go to the tar heels.

UNC really stepped themselves up to an entire new level of competition once they got to the tournament. It seemed until then, they were just on cruise control. Going into the final, I figured MSU had absolutely no shot at it against such a dominant UNC team.

I was just glad to see MSU go so far. Going into the tournament, I was figuring they would MAYBE make second round, but I could have ever seen them running with, let alone beating 2 number 1 seeds in UConn and Louisville.

Izzo is a decent regular season coach, but he turns into a god once the tournament starts.
