[J.C.]

One of the first years in a while I don't see anything really worth griping about.

I'll chalk it up to a UConn guy heading the committee.

[Tyler Vagyler]

Go Heels!

[ShimmerAndSpill]

Winning the ACC pushed us up to a 3 seed to play St. Bonaventure. Win we play winner of Texas/Cincinnati. I like our chances of getting back into the sweet 16 again.

You can put the women and children to bed if it's Florida St./Cincy.

[domotime2]

[Broken Parachute]

I think they did a phenomenal job except for California.

13-5 in a bad bad bad bad bad conference.
Wins vs. Top 50: NONE
Wins vs. 51-150 9-4
Wins vs. 151+: 15-2

LOL California is going to haunt my dreams forever. Put Drexel in. Put Oral Roberts in. Put anyone in over motherfucking California.

Hahahaha

Florida State/Cincinnati should be a good game, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high for UC to come out of it alive. They've been too inconsistent this season to be confident one way or the other.
