BEST time of the year---March Madness

[ChiChiIsMe]

I'm thinking Louisville and Kansas!

Yea, BS has done a heck of a job considering what they lost. I hope they do play UNC and beat 'em so we can see Dept. Dawg cry again.

How about a Memphis-KU final again? They're both playing outstand ball right now......

You are right---there could be a rematch!

[PEZGolf]

Pitt is really starting to impress me. They were behind last night, and rallied to win by 15. They are one of the top rebounding teams in the country even though they are not that tall.

[PEZGolf]

Wow! Pitt beat UConn again. They are a deserving #1 team, and have a great chance to win it all.

[Dub]

Yup....the UNC / Duke game yesterday was pretty sweet....even though my nine year old son was cheering strongly (loudly) for the wrong team.

It all worked out in the end!!!!


I forget how integral championship level college b-ball was when I grew up in eastern NC. We were surrounded by top notch talent: UNC, Duke, Wake Forest and occasionally NC State. Amazing.

I equate it to my son living down here in the heart of football country....surrounded by SEC giants.

Big XII Tourney this week. Hopefully CU will beat UT tomorrow, I'd rather face them again, but KSU beat UT on their home floor, so if they win hopefully they can do the same on a neutral site.......either way, win that game and get a 3rd shot at Kwho.........

The Big East may well produce the new National Champion, and it may not be Pitt or UConn. Watch out for Villanova!

i agree that the champ will come out of the big East. i still like Pitt or Uconn, but i havent heard much about Louisville. I think they have a chance to make a run at a title too. Time will tell, and with all the confrence tourneys this week, its gets you in the mood for the Madness!

2 teams that I have my eye on are UConn and Gonzaga.

Gonzaga is one of the underrated teams out there. Pargo is nasty.

You are right about Louisville---they are "flying under the radar", and many fans do not realize they are 25-5 and ranked fifth in the country. They have been overshadowed by the battle between UConn and Pitt to be #1.

[PEZGolf]

One other thought--I love to follow Gonzaga, because they have a great program and a distinctive name---THE ZAGS!

I love college basketball, i play at the high school level, love watching duke :)

Has the UConn/ Syracuse game ended yet?

Here in Big 10 country, we're hopeful of getting 8 bids for this year's tournament and making everyone else spitting mad at the committee.

[PEZGolf]

Syracuse in on a tear---knocked off UConn in 6 overtimes, and now West Virginia in only one OT. Now comes the big test---the Louisville Cardinals, who won the Big East during the regular season. What a great conference!

[MI Rob]

Louisville is playing great. Syracuse game was great.

[PEZGolf]

Boy, the Louisville Cardinals and Coach Rick Pitino followed a great game plan in the second half of last night's game versus the Syracuse Orangemen. They kept the pressure of the press on, and knew that would make the tired Orangemen even more fatigued. The boys from 'Cuse hit NO 3 pointers in the second half, and missed many shots near the basket. Johnny Flynn even gave Louisville credit for playing a smart and solid second half. They should be seeded #1 in one of the regionals.
