It would be fun if Bama and UAB meet up and UAB wins.

I'm going to root for Alabama A&M. They're from my town and I was not even aware that they were a Division I team. They're not even favored to win their sub first round game though.

Good thing I am really from Illinois.

p.s. I don't really care about basketball at all, its a waste of time and money at my school.

Kitschy · Mar 15, 2005, 11:23 AM

I'm an OU grad, so I have to pick them. They have a legitimate chance though.

The Big 12 is good this year...

I wouldn't be surprised if Oklahoma State or Kansas won it all either. Texas Tech may surprise some folks, too.

BOOMER SOONER!

Looks like you wont be winning any pools.

Garage81 · Mar 19, 2005, 04:23 PM

yeah, I've gotta be faithful.

Florida, Illinois, Duke, and Wake.

Florida taking Illinois in the final.

Hey Dick Vitale, you know U of I and UW-M are in the same bracket right? In fact they face each other in the next round.
Unless someone from the Albuquerque bracket relinquishes their spot to Milwaukee there is no way in hell your prediction can come true.

malvolio · Mar 20, 2005, 08:38 AM

Yes, I know that UM-W plays Illinois next. It was a tongue-in-cheek edit, not a serious prediction.

no more wake...wow

Garage81 · Mar 20, 2005, 11:57 AM

yeah, that kid, whats his name Gansey?

He was on fire in the 2 OTs.

What a great game, who woulda thought that cuse, wake, kansas, and BC would all be out of the sweet 16?

unreal!

lets all try pick todays upsets before they occur.

im not ballsy enough, but i think vermont or bucknell will make it, leaning towards bucknell.

Garage81 · Mar 20, 2005, 12:01 PM

and im really, really hoping that in a few hours theres not pics of Villanova players here.

last year FL was up ranked at num1 (for only a week, huge disappointing loss to maryland at home). then a disappointing SEC tournament performance, and a loss in the 1st round to Manhattan. not too mention i graduated, and my last home game i got to attend before graduation was our loss to maryland.

im a little bitter

Apple Pro Underwear · Mar 20, 2005, 12:12 PM

there has been upsets up the freakin wazooo this year

next year i will have to plan for this because dominant A+ players* are no longer in college basketball that keep teams from choking.

*(or they never stay long enough to become truly dominant A+ players)

nredman · Mar 20, 2005, 02:03 PM

NC State beat UCONN... SWEET
