Wisconsin doesn't feel like a Final Four team to me at all.

 

Wisconsin/Temple was easily the most difficult matchup for me to pick, cause I had the winner beating Kentucky regardless of who it was.

OK, I'm leaning towards Wake Forest knocking out Kentucky in a nasty defensive battle. Ishmael Smith and LD Williams are senior guards that take care of the ball. John Wall is a freshman guard that does not. Wake can bang with anybody on the glass.

 

I'll probably change my mind about 50 more times, though.

Anyone have a link to regional maps for the Thursday/Friday games?

http://www.hdsportsguide.com/news/2010/cbs-ncaa-tournament-coverage-map-central/

 

They have the links to the Thursday maps, the Friday ones aren't up yet, but probably will be tomorrow.

 

I had forgotten that since I'm in the Indy TV market that Butler/UTEP will air on CBS here during the 'dead period', which is pretty cool.

Maybe I'm colored by the game KU played against them, but I have a hard time believing that team will beat UK. Granted, we played one of our best games, and they played one of their worst, but I'm not sold.

Can't wait to watch all of UCSB's upset of Ohio State in the first round.

I just want to be on the record one more time as a whiny baby about KU's bracket. One interesting thing to note, the last three teams to beat us are all in it (Tennessee, OK State, and MSU [last year].)

karma for the 2008 team getting to play

16. portland state

8. unlv

12. villanova

10. davidson

.

 

 

And then beating two #1 seeds for the title.

 

Memphis didn't even exist that year

 

If only...

Don't worry Raisin, I'm sure at some point in the future KU from that year won't exist either

I'm not seeing it with Baylor. I think A&M has the better chance of being a Big 12 team out of that bracket

I am trying hard to convince myself to pick us over Dook. It would suck big time if we did and then lost to Baylor in the Elite 8, but I honestly think Notre Dame will knock them off in round 2.

 

Just cut out the middleman like I did and have Louisville take Duke out. :D

That's my "Duke loses early" bracket

the final 4 will have a new york feel to it as 3 participants will be from the big east.

 

and syracuse ain't one of them.

 

k-state v. georgetown. west virginia v. nova

 

nova beats georgetown 75-70.

 

and i would not be so high on louisville beating duke. we may get blown out of the building by cal in game 1. i'm not joking. our fans are 55-45 split against a quick and painless end. none of us knows which team will show up, the one that could have beaten the 1996-97 bulls and absolutely was not going to lose against syracuse in the final game at freedom hall (i was there!) and took them apart, or the one that showed up against st. john's and got ran out of the building. my feeling is, if we are going to lose, i would rather lose on day 1 and get it over so i am not emotionally involved. in the bracket i submitted for the group i have us going out against nova, but i would like to submit another one with us out at round 1, because either is a likely scenario.
