I am terrible about filling out the brackets too, so I never do it.

Wisconsin won tonight! And UW-Milwaukee almost managed it against Notre Dame . . . that was a tough game to watch.

Is it just me, or have there been a lot of upsets and near-upsets so far? Some of the near-upsets have been with high-ranked teams . . . first with Kansas and now I'm watching Duke. Marquette just barely pulled it off too, I think.

WOOHOO!
After last night's game i'm leading the GreekChat bracket group on Yahoo! Only by one point (I have 13, a few others have 12), but i'm still proud of myself!

LET'S GO PITT!

Western Kentucky almost pulled it off!
They were so close! Just showed me two things, 1. We are better than I thought and 2. Illinois is in trouble!

Okay, now for todays game- GO CATS!

i almost lost it with the duke game
i was screaming at the TV

duke not making it to sweet 16

Was a great performance by the Sooners! Price went down with a previous groin injury (I think coach pulled him out to save him for harder games). Bookout, our starting Freshman point guard was out with the Flu. Still won by 20+ points

Could go all the way this time.

Yay Marquette! That was a great game. And Wisconsin's up next!

And Illinois lost just like I knew they would.

The Wisconsin/Tulsa game just finished . . . god, that was seriously one of the most exciting and amazing finishes to a game I've ever seen. Heartbreaking if you're for Tulsa, of course, but I wasn't, so

The Badgers went on something like a 14-2 run (I think) to finish the second half and managed to bring the score to 58-60 on their last possession . . . then Freddy Owens hit a wide-open three with less than two seconds left, and after that Tulsa's man stepped on the baseline when trying to inbound the ball. Seriously amazing. I love those guys. Of course, we're going to lose to Kentucky by a LOT in the next round, but I'm proud of us for getting this far.

And the Gonzaga/Arizona finish is going to be great too . . . they're going to overtime.

Gotta love it.

UConn going to the Sweet 16, Gordon and Okafor had very good games today.

GO HUSKIES

I love Arizona probably the best of any team after Wisconsin, but I have to admit I was secretly pulling for Gonzaga to pull off the upset at the end there.

Although I'm still happy that they didn't.

Kevin · #**132** 03-23-2003, 12:58 PM

Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas in the FF. Write it down.

kddani · #**133** 03-23-2003, 02:07 PM

Indiana's looking pretty pathetic today..... 2 points in the last 6 minutes of the first half.

Hey Indiana fans - hoosierdaddy? Pitt is.

LET'S GO PITT!!!!!!!!!!

ktsnake- who do you think the 4th will be?

UIC also got in the NIT so go horizon league teams!

I'm not complaining. It's great to see three teams from our league in the tournament. Butler won, UW-Milwaukee should have beaten Norte Dame(but they made the Irish sweat like crazy

) UIC lost in the NIT. But It's a good showing by all three. Now, If Detroit Mercy and CSU(especially if they can get a coach who can actually recruit and bring some serious Top 25 teams to Cleveland) get their act together,The Horizon League will definately make some serious noise.

Gonzaga should have won that game in the first overtime, but overall, It was a great game. I'm hurt that My darkhorse team, Central Michigan, lost to Duke.
