FEAR THE WILDCAT

I was absolutely stunned when Duke lost last night!! All I could think of was how good it felt to watch someone else choke - especially since it was Duke, whose fans always pick on Kansas for choking. Who's the choker now, Devils? :D

Well my bracket is now screwed!! *ripping it up into small pieces and tossing them up in the air*

How ironic is it that IU beat Duke the season after Coach Knight left. I am so happy for Davis!!!! He is all class!

Well, I'm still crying in my beer this morning over Arizona. On the bright side, they are a really young team and I know they'll go even further next year!

I don't know who the heck to root for anymore. The whole tournament this year has been so topsy-turvy!

Davis did nothing though. All of Indianas players are leftovers from the bobby knight era. Where was mike davis when the top 3 indiana hs seniors last year did not go to indiana? Nice recruiting job Mike. Lets see what he can do next year when some of the knight era players graduate.

GO KENT ST!!!!!!!

It sucks that U Mo. has to play U Ok. I wont get to see the final four made up of ALL BIG 12 TEAMS:(

GO JAYHAWKS AND TIGERS!!!!!!!!
:D :D :D :D :)

although kentucky didn't beat duke, how ironic is it that duke got beat on kentucky's home court. who can forget the infamous chest stomp by christian laettner on one of kentucky's players, years ago. a little piece of redemption for uk fans.

I go to Akron U and Kent is our rival.....but hell.....

GO KENT!!!!

WOOHOO! Kansas is in the ELITE EIGHT!

GOOOO HAWKS!

I still think Oklahoma got shafted on their seeding...

Doesn't matter now though...:D :D

I swear when you think UCLA is going to lose. they win and when they are supoose to win they lose. UCLA is out, lost to Mizzou after being like 10 points ahead the enite game. Good Luck to all of your teams!

Ex Greek, I have to disagree. Coaches can make a tremendous difference in the performance of a team. All of the players wanted Davis to be their coach. The best example of the impact of coaches that I can think of is the Lombardi-era Packers. The biggest part of those great players were on the team before Lombardi became coach, and they did nothing. They had one of the worst records in team history...then once Lombardi became coach, they never had a losing record and they won three world championships. Of course, I'm not saying that talented players don't make an impact, but coaching does make a big difference. :)

Wouldn't exactly compare davis to lombardi, lol. If they can get by oklahoma than beat a great team in the finals, than maybe but until than we shall see. Davis had a first round loss last year so to me thats proof that its the great players he had, not too much to do with coaching.

Oh...I'm definitely not comparing Davis to Lombardi. hehe. In my opinion, no one can compare to Lombardi. I was just using him as an example of the difference that coaches can make, as he was the most obvious example to me. As for the first round loss last year...well, I didn't follow the team, so I really can't say much about that, but every team has those games where they're just off. It happens and sometimes things just don't click. I just think that this tournament has been good for Davis because he has some big shoes to fill by following Knight. If IU can win the championship, it might cause some disenchanted Knight supports to warm up to Davis and the IU program again.
