I picked Ohio state, Kansas is all I have left. Good job with Florida.

VCU knocks of Kansas- wha???????
VCU and Butler on one side of the Final 4- absolutely stunning result!

How great is college basketball? It truly is the most exciting game on Earth and the tourney allows great teams like Butler and VCU to shine unlike college football which is owned by just a few teams and people making the rules.
Uconn beat Kentucky going away an I like our speed match up against them. Knights a good player--but he could not handle walkers speed in game 1--nor could they contend with napier. We beat some rough teams az sd st and cincy--all very rough in their own right--I think kentucky is not as good as either Sand diego or Az--I feel we have a great chance at winning it all --who knows but were right there.
I hope Butler does it. We don't need another powerhouse getting a win and UCONN is on some sort of cheating thing and while I must sound ignorant about the facts the Butler thing just seems like a great story.
The NCAA mens basketball championship is highly flawed in crowing its championship but what a way to go and perhaps its imperfection is what makes it so exciting!

lol Uconn had assistant coaches call a player multiple times more than they shouldve and the kid never stepped foot on campus--NCAA violation yes punishment--paid-- cheating is a very strong word for a basic infraction that cost us 1 scholarship and JC a few games. the uconn story is great--a team full of freshmen led by a greta kid in kemba--win 5 games in 5 nights after finishing the season poorly and following through in the tourney--if they finish it off-it will be the best run of wins in nCAA tourney history in short fashion.
If Uconn wins against Kentucky and then loses in the championship game, I win my office pool. Which is pretty big. So, I'm rooting hard for Uconn to beat Kentucky... but then maybe become a Butler fan for the last game.
Kemba vs Brandon Knight is a helluva matchup at the point.

I hear you, ANd I know your a big UConn fan so I get you, Im not really opposed to UCONN winning as I would Kentucky But the Butler thing can be special. It what makes this tournament super special!
Im watching in any event.
worse tourny i have ever witness
Brad Stevens continues to perform miracles
Doron Lamb is as good as advertised
Shelvin Mack with a huge three to end the half... awesome stuff
All Jeremy Lamb all the time
Butler's offense has been in a Pringles' drought all game long... wow
wow man wish you guys could feel this feeling with the Knicks
winning!
I'm sorry but that was the worst basketball I've ever witnessed.
Congrats to briggs though!
Congrats to UConn...too bad Butler couldn't hit a shot all night. That was a lot to do with the Huskie defense though,

It just shows you the importance of defense. They could not hit shots--the shots they hit were 5 feet beyond the 3 point line. Uconn just had too much length and speed. Kemba was real,hurt last night and he wasnt healthy for the game against Kentucky yet still managed to do what was necessary. Jeremy Lamb is going to be a star type player. I expect this team with the addition of Ryan Boatright(wait until u see this kid) and possibly Andre Drummond to me more than set to get a chance to repeat. Its a very tough team--we lose Kemba which is enormous but all of those yo9ung freshmen will be better and we add possible 3 guys 6-10++ and a guard who resemble s Kemba in many ways.

You obviously have not watched much of FSU playing. I am used to these ugly arse games ;-) It was a defensive gem but becuase there wasn't much offense as a 'showtime spectacle' it will be regarded a failure to live up to the hype.
@ FSU you don't defend you sit. Simple as that.
