Good thing for the Huskies is that they have so much time to recover, but if they get hurt, could make it a lot harder for the Huskies. Ben Gordon's a monster though.

My dream matchup: Pitt-UConn for the National Championship. We both took one game during the regular season, UConn won the tourney by one hoop. Pitt would be out for revenge. That would be an awesome game :)

Absolutely, that would be a great game. I'm hoping Okafor will be ok; Villanueva should be, he probably could have played against Pitt but Calhoun wanted to hold him out to make sure he was ok.

I've gotta pick my boys to take it all...GO HUSKIES.

Hey...maybe my alma mater will even take the NIT, who knows.

Okay, I'm in.. I think Oklahoma State has a decent chance this year.

xo_kathy 03-17-2004 03:50 PM

I'm in. I want to pick my alma matter (Western Michigan University) all the way, but I know that is pool suicide. :( I did at least put them through to the 2nd round!

I also have a very scientific way of making picks - mascot/colors/and Chi O chapter all play in...You may think I'm silly, but when I win it all you will all be sorry!!! :p

I'm pullin for UAB, because of their coach Mike Anderson. He was an assistant at Arkansas during the "40 minutes of hell" days and is bringin that defense to UAB. Too bad Nolan Richardson f'd him out of the head coaching job at Arkansas, but at least hawgball is being played somewhere.

The1calledTKE 03-17-2004 07:23 PM

Lol I picked NC State to win it all.

mmcat 03-18-2004 12:10 AM

in and ready to go...
i only wish utep had a better prognosis. we would love two upsets so utep faced byu in round 2. lots of bad blood in that matchup. but....
we'll enjoy what we have.

Thrillhouse 03-18-2004 01:38 AM

I'm in and UCONN has been hyped up since day one so I'm taking them.

Wisconsin is my sleeper, they play two virtual homes games right away.

I was tempted to take Lehigh in the final four but luckily, that game doesn't count;)

UTEP is going to get smashed. That is all.

Rudey 03-18-2004 12:53 PM

A man walks up to a crying little girl. The little girl points to a car crash and says that's my family. The guy turns around, unzips his pants and says "Well I guess today isn't your lucky day."

BOOYEAH

GeekyPenguin 03-18-2004 03:27 PM

I can't wait to get back from my afternoon classes and see my totally random picks smash y'all. :p

AOIIalum 03-18-2004 05:18 PM

Well, darn it! I missed the apparent crash of Florida earlier this afternoon. What the heck happened and congrats to me for not thinking Florida would get out of this weekend alive :)

Rudey 03-18-2004 05:57 PM

Ack I hate Alabama.

-Rudey

valkyrie 03-18-2004 06:06 PM

Who knew that I could make such terrible picks?! These teams are killing me -- Florida, Southern Illinois, WTF?! I should've known to pick Texas Tech., but on principle I didn't. Wow.

Rudey 03-18-2004 06:46 PM

Does anyone know of a good internet radio/tv website for the games?

-Rudey

AOIIalum 03-18-2004 07:21 PM

Besides Yahoo sports or the athletic website for your team of choice?

GeekyPenguin 03-18-2004 07:28 PM

I am doing WAY better than I thought.

What in the world was I thinking picking Florida to win 3 rounds? Geez...a Tennessee fan should NEVER pick Univ. of FL -- my bad.

yeah, you should never pick a team who has a starter that dates a Playboy model, think he's gonna be focused on the game? No.
Besides the collapse against Kentucky last Sunday should have said enough. They need to move the UF basketball team to Manilla so they can be called the Manilla Folders anyway. 4 first round losses in 4 years...not good.

AOIIalum 03-18-2004 09:05 PM

NutBrn, please tell me you didn't really do that. Now, I didn't expect them to just roll over and die today, but three more in a row? You poor thing :)

AOIIalum 03-18-2004 11:35 PM

Just had to share
 
I'VE GOT TICKETS!!! I'VE GOT TICKETS!!! I'VE GOT TICKETS!!!

I'm going to spend my weekend at Nationwide Arena!!!! I'm going back to the NCAA Tournament!!! I get to see my beloved Wildcats tomorrow night!!!!!

Even better, we're in the lower level and actually paying face value. They say it does pay to have friends in the right place, and whoever "they" are, they're right.

AOX81 03-19-2004 07:48 AM

I'm in a pool at work and so far I picked 11 winners gving me a score of 22 points. :)

mmcat 03-19-2004 09:41 AM

Oy, trust me, the NYC bred boyfriend is making sure I know who they are. :rolleyes: I did not pick them A) to spite him and B)clearly no Chi Omega chapter!

Sadly, this has cost me (as did honoring my home state - NEVER trust a Spartan!). The good news - my sister NutBrn and I are tied! :D

Woo Hoo! Kathy, I do hope you didn't copy my brackets and end up with Florida for 2 more rounds like I did!

OrigamiTulip 03-19-2004 01:58 PM

Sad to see Florida out so early.

I have to root for ETSU since Mr.BetaRose's cousin is on the team.

mommag2 03-19-2004 02:18 PM

It's GREAT to be on TOP !!!! But it probably won't last past this round, it never does.......but hey it's ok.

Manhattan never heard of them picked them just because I HATE FLORIDA.......and Nevada that was a total fluke, but it worked out.

TOO BAD ARIZONA IS OUT. My Soorority is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAD :(

Nope, just one more. :(

Update:
At the half my WMU Broncos are up by 3!!!! (I know, that's not much, but I need to gloat for a minute!!!)

xo_kathy 03-19-2004 06:18 PM

Sniff Sniff...

It is a sad day in Kalamazoo...

They're down by 14 with 50 seconds left...

NutBrnHair 03-19-2004 07:30 PM

Sorry, Kathy...guess we won't be tied much longer, eh? <evil laugh>

sigtau305 03-20-2004 12:40 PM

I have 21 points so far. not too bad, but it's not good either.

ThetaPrincess24 03-20-2004 04:39 PM

I have Kentucky and Duke in the final game with Kentucky to win (hard fought, but a win nonetheless).

No! I'm almost at the bottom of the GC pack and I am dead last in my family's pool. :o

valkyrie 03-20-2004 08:04 PM

Ahahahahaha! I had Gonzaga in the finals. Oops.

NutBrnHair 03-20-2004 08:09 PM

Did anyone here pick Nevada??!?

The1calledTKE 03-20-2004 09:24 PM

ThetaPrincess24 03-20-2004 09:25 PM

ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!! ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SEC BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
