Well, I watch the pros a little, but in basketball, it all comes down to college for me. College Basketball may be my favorite sport in life to watch, and during this time of year, it is great!

It is even better when my Oklahoma State Cowboys are having a great year, and this year is no exception. I look for them to return to the Final Four again this year, although it won't be as easy this time around.

I was wondering how many other people here get into March Madness like I do. I get into all the office pools and stuff, as I love picking the games and stuff.

I will be sticking with Oklahoma State for the most part, and I also think North Carolina has as good a chance as any to cut down the nets in early April.

What does everyone else think?

Count me among the few who really don't like basketball. I'll play it - it's athletic - but watching it, ugh. I dread March for two reasons: the snow is still here but it's warming up, and basketball.

Yeah, my bracket is all screwed up after tonight's games. But I think it is the same for everyone out there. There have been 2 huge upsets tonight so far, which is just what March Madness is all about!

I am definitely enjoying it, and I'm just glad Oklahoma State escaped a close one today.

yea, golf is my favorite sport...but March Madness is amazing. The first day of the first round i was doing really well in the brackets, but the second day just screwed me so bad. Bucknell winning messed me up bad, then I had ODU upsetting Michigan St., they came close but fell out in the end, Syracuse really screwed me bad, argh, at least my Elite 8 and Final Four are still in it. Final four......UNC at Duke, Illinois at Wake Forest, then UNC beats Illinois in the finals.

My final four are definitely different than those, but then again, I am a huge Oklahoma State fan. I have Oklahoma State, Wake Forest, UNC, and Michigan St.

I am going out on a limb with Mich. St.,and they gave me a scare for sure last night. But they have too much experience to go out early IMO. They will have a tough one against Duke in the Sweet 16 if they make it there.

And I have Oklahoma St. beating Wake and UNC beating Mich. St. Then I picked Oklahoma St. to win it all, but I don't think they can really beat UNC honestly. But I couldn't pick against OSU, I would not be able to live with myself if they did win and I didn't pick them.

I'd like to congratulate MY University of Utah Utes for making it to the sweet 16. Unfortunately we are meeting Kentucky next. Kentucky is the team we were leading by 15 in the national championship game in 1998, only to lose the game. Kentucky has knocked us out two other times since then.

I hate Kentucky. I hope my Utes can be victorious this time. Go UTES!

Well, there goes one of my picks for the Final 4. Wake Forest just got beat, but I didn't really like them anyway. I just thought they were very good.

And by the way, as much as I love Oklahoma State, I hate Oklahoma that much more. So I was very happy to see your Utes beat them today. Heh, I get to mouth to everyone I know about that one because they are all OU fans. They are arrogant fans too...

And Utah definitely has a shot to go even farther. I think they can definitely beat Kentucky. Andrew Bogut is outstanding, and he got a lot of other help today from his supporting cast. Don't go to sleep on your Utes yet..

Believe me I won't. It has been a pleasure to watch Bogut this year. Some easter teams who haven't been paying attention to us little teams in the west will be in for a big surprise.

Well, last night my Cowboys got beat by 1 with 2.8 seconds left. The entire game was close, and I couldn't have ask for anything more than that.....except a win! At least we got beat by a great shot. Now we have to wait 2 or 3 years before we will be experienced again as we have 1 freshman coming back and a lot of high school recruits.

It also looked like Utah's run ended, so I guess we can sulk together in the losses of our teams..

At least Michigan St. beat Duke, I had that in my bracket. So I gained a lot of ground on people by picking that one right.

Anyway, I look forward to watching some games this weekend and seeing who will be making the trip to the Final Four. Good stuff.
