GC March Madness Tourney 2008

As Usual GP is her funny self?

I still cannot understand why "The Big XII" gets screwed once again?

KU and KSU, Kansas in the same regionals and KU. beat up on Portland State, and lest we forget, KSU whipped USC! So it boils down to if they each make it to the end of the regional, they will have to play each other to move on.

I have to stick with The Jayhawks of Kansas.

It would be great if KU and NC played for the championship as Roy Williams was KU coach for many years!

There would be a big reason for KU to win that game!

I don't think the Big 12 got screwed at all. I think that both KSU and KU got lucky to both get to play in Omaha, so close to home, so that their fans could easily travel to see them. There are six Big 12 teams in the tourney (five of which made it through the first round) so obviously there will be some doubling up of teams in a few regions. In order for KSU and KU to play each other they both need to get to the Elite Eight. Do you really think that's likely?

Did I hear correctly, that Vanderbilt lost?

I heard this on NPR and thought it was interesting:

Yes they did, and I'm quite disappointed that they too effed up my brackets.

Point well taken, but today will be a big factor in where and who is going from all of the upsets.

God, what a wild year for the round ball teams!

GO, KU-KSU!

I'm #20! I'm #20! (But the GC bracket was my outlandish bracket anyway. )

IU completes a spectacular end-of-the-year tank job with the loss to Arkansas. I really should have picked them to go out in the first round. My heart would not let me.
