Any of you guys got ideas on who will make the Final Four?

I've got Duke, Gonzaga, Connecticut, and Boston College making it in my bracket with Duke beating Conncecticut in the championship game.

I really don't like making that pick, but I think Duke has the most talent in the field.

I think Duke is a one man show. Florida St. & N.C. proved that if you stop Redding (spelling?) you will stop Duke. I haven't really looked that close to the bracket yet but will today and give you my picks. You know there is always at least one surprise in the Final Four.

I'm rooting for my alma mater, Oral Roberts University, who haven't even made it to the chanpionship in like 22 years! Not that I necessarily think they'll win or even make it very far, but it's cool that they're even playing. I think we're going to a watch party at ORU Friday afternoon.

I'm traveling to Dayton, Ohio tomorrow with the University of Northern Iowa pep band to support the team. UNI will play Georgetown first, and if they win, I think they are to play Ohio State.

Gators Baby! Yeah!

Anybody picking on ESPN? If you haven't join under "SEC East Fans"

Personally, I'd like to see Texas win it, but I think they aren't quite strong enough. Duke just ran over them during the season, and Kanas handled them in the Big 12 championship game. But anything can happen in this tournament.

I'll be cherring for ORU. I almost always root for the lower seeds, unless it's a team I really like.

I don't think Duke is always a one-man show. Maybe for the few games they lost. If the other guys, Williams, McRoberts, Paulus, etc., put up the numbers they often do, it doesn't matter that much if you stop Redick. Plus, I think Redick will find ways to score in the tourney. He's not afraid to shoot from anywhere on court, and he can hit the shot too.

How about Boston College needing 2 overtimes to advance. I was just about licking my chops on that game. A lot of the TV guys were saying that BC was a lot more talented than what their record showed, and that they were a good shot to make the final four. They almost had egg on their face today.

I was surprised by that BC game as well. I've got BC in the Final 4 in my bracket. We'll see how they do the rest of the way.

My Espn brackets took a major hit today with Iowa and Arkansas losing.

Although I picked UConn to make it to the Championship Game, I was really rooting for Albany to pull off the upset last night. They were up by 13 before UConn came back. Still looking for that first victory by a 16 seed.

14/16 in my Sweet 16 is still alive. Stupid Kansas and Iowa.

Tenn loss just hurt me.

I've got 1 bracket at 31,929 place and another at 1.5millionth

Well, after last night one of my brackets made it only 4005th place. Doesn't seem like a great number, but thats the lowest I've ever gotten. Of course, I've got one bract at 2,083,099 place too.
