the madness has begun.
I've been watching for an hour and already I've seen 4 halves of basketball. Niagara is putting up a good fight, fell down by 13 but are now on a little mini-run to get themselves back in the game. There's so much basketball on, this will prove to be a very good day.

Wow - i've got the same Final Four! So we're on the same page there. But where i beg to differ is G.Tech taking out Louisville and Washington. Infact, i've got Louisville beating G.Tech, as well as the heavily favoured Washington. Two other teams i see raising eyebrows would be Old Dominion, and UCLA (winning their first round games, no further though).
Had the wis.Milwaukee upset , but my HUGE sleeper is out:UTEP.
Had them goin all the way to the Elite 8 and losing to Syracuse.
Oh well, night games are lookin godd - all close @ the half.
Still have my 4:
Wake (down 3 @ half )
UNC
Illinois
Syracuse

Nice - a few of my upsets prevailed...... UAB was impressive, but my UCLA prediction fell a little short. Second place in my pool of winner takes all. I could definately use an extra $800

For jokes, I decided every match in my pool w/ a coin toss this year. Wake won the contest, w/ Kentucky, LSU and Bucknell as my four (LOL!).

Watching the UCONN game right now. 4 mins in, and I know I made the right choice for my pick. UCONN's gonna bounce anyone and everyone off the rebounds. I love tough teams, and this one's as tough as they come.
The only stat in basketball more important than rebounds is points.

Nobody is stoppin the Tar Heels.... too explosive offensively.

you're wrong there jeff. I've picked tar heels teams too many times to ever believe they ban play consistantly enough to win the tourney. Besides, UCONN is a quick, tough defensive team, they're much thicker up front than UNC, and 4's & 5's will beat guards any day of the week. Whoever comes out of the syracuse bracket will take the tourney IMO.
And what about 'nova? Laying the smack down in their first round...
