I think this year is going to be an unpredictable mess compared to most years, but there's the bracket if you want to use your yahoo account.
If that link doesnt work send me an PM with your yahoo email and I can send you an invite. Fill out your bracket before the first game tomorrow.

I've paid absolutely no attention this year to college basketball, so I figure I have as good a shot as anyone....

[blackstar]

My bracket got off to a good start. I predicted that Coppin State would win the play in game, but as most of you probably know, they lost. Well I know it doesn't mean anything because either way they are going to win against UNC.
Anyways talking about college basketball, I would love to see Kansas State make it to the Final Four. We'll see.

[Captain Obvious]

eh, only 4 people.
I should have started this thread right after they announced the bracket

[d4nth3m4n]

I'd like to point out that I have officially clinched victory now. The fact that Kansas is sticking it to North Carolina is pretty nice. I hate UNC (defeats my beloved 2005 Illini) more than Kansas (stole our coach... who I don't miss that much... except for the recruits...).

Don't feel bad when he bolts KU for OSU in a few months....

Rose is a beast. He clearly called bank board.

[Ghoser777]

Overtime! Crazy....

[Ghoser777]

Memphis has completely chocked. Wow...

[Jawbone54]

I'm so glad I tuned into that game. Wow...

A shocker of a finish in regulation. OT was exciting, but only because it became apparent that Kansas was going to sustain its sudden lead.

[rickey939]

One of the best games I have ever witnessed. Thank god for the DVR, I'm tempted to go back and watch it again immediately.

What a great send-off for Self....

[Jawbone54]

And soooooooo, that means you think he's 100% gone.

WIlliams to North Carolina made sense. It was not just his alma mater, but one of the most prestigious programs in the nation. Are you positive Self would leave and go to OSU? Sure he has history there, but there's a good chance he'll never be able to duplicate what has happened in Kansas.

He wants the challenge of taking another school, like OSU, to the top. He could do it in 5 years or less like he did at KU. He won't ever be able to top this year at Kansas, and expectations will be 100% through the roof in that town. Expectations will be high at OSU, but at least he and his wife will BOTH be back home and 3-5x as rich.

I thought OSU was busy pumping money into football right now...

Mr. Pickens has more than enough....and football is already done for the most part. Don't forget about the entire athletic village being built on campus...

[Jawbone54]

The question is whether or not all the additional attention results in greater success. I'd personally like to see it; it'd be nice to see Oklahoma lose a bit of its supremacy in the state.
