This could be as wild and unpredictable NCAA
basketball tournament as we have had in years.

Anybody could have their favorite team WIN IT ALL ! ! !

Beware the hot shooting 3 point freaks.

well, ok, if we have too

Starting next Monday, after this upcoming championships weekend....
For fun, I highly suggest to anyone with 1/10 of an interest, or more, to fill out an bracket online and play along at home. There are a lot of places to do it. I use Yahoo (for no particular reason)... but all of the online brackets are so damned easy, they do it all for you. It is too easy not to. You can play in the monster 130,000 group, or join smaller groups or even start your own group and run it, I have never done that, yet.


You just set it up and fill in the bracket and they keep track of everything else. If you dont have a yahoo email, you should get one, they are handy, and again they are too easy to not have one. Just spend 2 minutes at [edit.yahoo.com] and voila yournewemail@yahoo.com

Once/if you have a yahoo email you can easily sign up to play the bracket. [sports.yahoo.com]

always do a couple of brackets at least

NOT my teams AND NOT my picks for the final, but..
here are some teams people might want to keep track of.
Saint Louis Billikens, Iowa State Cyclones, Miami Hurricanes, Oklahoma State Cowboys
(IF any of them even get an invite to the big dance)

I think this is the year my Ohio University Bobcats win it all...

I'm going to make my Final Four prediction now.(Edits pending depending on the actual brackets).
Gonzaga
Indiana
Michigan St
Georgetown

Always a fun time of the year whether or not you follow the regular season.

thats a reasoned prediction.

here's an unreasoned one: NC State in the final four

Hoosiers all the way! Then again, I may be a bit biased.

As a graduate of I.U., I say Go, Cream & Crimson. They have all the talent but they can be mystifying. A really hard nosed defense can shut Indiana down. They are a beautiful and entertaining team to watch when they're on. I hope Coach Crean can get them to toughen up and play their best at this time of year.

I like Indiana. Tom Crean is married to Jim Harbaugh's sister. So that gives me a local angle.

Yeah... with that comment I was more hoping to inspire others to maybe offer something they may have seen or heard of around the league this year... you know?... share some info, tell us something we dont know, tell us something we may have missed.... versus just saying No, they suck overrated.

miami has lost 3 of the last 5 games they played including 2 games against the bottom teams in the ACC. if you can slow down shane larkin you can beat them and there are too many teams in the NCAA tournament who can slow him down

Woudn't be great if Floria played the U for the Nat championship? Larranaga is a great coach and at 61 years old it would be awesome! Why? this guy as worked is ass off to win. They will beat the Carolina Tarholes to a blody pulp!

I wonder where the Pack will be placed in the seedings! Don't be surprised if Louisville gets beat today!

Go Canes!

you must be lost, louisville has no more games until the NCAA tourney. they won the big east. also miami will be right back to the bottom next year when all the seniors leave. same thing FSU did last year. had a lot of seniors, won the acc tourney and are now no where. doesn't hurt miami that they have the tallest team in the acc and the oldest average age team in the nation. one of miami's players graduated high school in 2007 and is still playing college ball in 2013

Louisville is the team to beat. But this is still one of the most wide open tournys ever.

i still don't think louisville is the team to beat. i think there are 5-6 teams to beat. louisville, indiana, duke, kansas, georgetown, maybe gonzaga and miami

Why don't you start?

I used to love the NCAA tournament and still is exciting but the best thing college basketball could do is eliminate that damned three point shot and go back to playing real basketball instead of a jump shooting contest.

Go Zags!!!! Would be great to see the little guy actually win it all.

Louisville and Georgetown will be tough to beat and could well play each other for the championship. My money's on Georgetown.
