GMU can beat Wichita State. They already did it once this season, at Wichita State. The game on Friday will be almost like a home game for them, being in such close proximity to the school.
That said, assuming that they do win that game, I seriously doubt they can beat UConn (assuming that Washington doesn't do it first). Either way, I know nobody picked them to even get this far.

I called Duke and UCLA in the final four.
I had Duke, UCLA, UNC, and Nova.
I'm about the only person on the face of the earth with Nova beating out Duke for the championships.
But I couldn't help but think of the Tri Delts that helped us so much during our colonization! Seriously, that was my main reason. That and I actually have seen Nova.

Texas beats Duke in the Elite 8.....sorry but if they would have been healthy during their first meeting this year it would have been a totally different game. And to whoever said UCLA in the national championship or final four? Memphis is going to dominate them in the Elite 8

I may be the only one, but I still think LSU will beat Duke.

Which was a joke. I live in big ten country and most people here were saying the same thing. Strength in numbers of decent teams but no great teams. Missouri State finishing 21st and the big ten having the best RPI goes to show that maybe the tweaks that they did to the ratings turned it into crap like the Sargarin ratings.

I don't. They barely squeezed out a win over Texas A&M.
But what do I know? I had UNC in the Final Four.

I think Duke will get upset. It's an amazing team, don't get me wrong, but they go up against someone below their level, get cocky, and have the other team kick them when their not looking.
I'm really hoping WVU beats Texas. Last we played them (early this past season), we lost by one point. If Gansey stays healthy, we'll be all right. Assuming we beat Texas, we'll have to probably play Duke or LSU. And that worries me.

I am slightyly biased because I am from Texas....but Texas wins with ease. Sure they only won the last meeting by one.....but their 6th was also injured and they had 25 turnovers. And I really don't think Duke is Amazing. Coach K makes refs call the game in Dukes favor. Reddick and Williams are that team....the other guys play minor roles. Put your best two or three guard defender on Reddick, hold him to under 20....and you win. Look at all of Dukes losses this year.....and the ones they should have lost.....high pressure defense gave Duke serious problems.

'No work please,' it's basketball time
By Ellen Wulfhorst
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Relax, don't work so hard. These days no one else in America does, and that might not be such a bad thing for an employer's bottom line.
It's "March Madness," when millions of U.S. workers spend so much time following the men's college basketball games of the NCAA Tournament that by one estimate they're costing companies $3.8 billion in lost productivity.
Rest of the story...
