I could see an Indiana-Butler rematch in the elite 8.

8 is fine for UNC. I had them 9. They didn't beat anyone this year.

Jesus, North Carolina in the 2nd round...sheesh

I do like the bracket outside of that game though for KU.

OSU should have a very favorable bracket!

Fran Dunphy isn't known for excelling in the tournament.

That's what I'm thinking, they should have a pretty easy path

I'm hoping we don't get Iona in the 1st. Momo Jones could propel an upset single-handedly.

I wouldn't worry about that, being that OSU is the best perimeter defensive team in the country.

Gonzaga vs. Southern in a battle of the whitest team in the bracket vs. the blackest team in the bracket.

Gonzaga is going to have a tough 8-9 game.

And my head might explode having to watch Bruesewitz vs Henderson.

Haha it was pretty much a foregone conclusion. OSU should win easily, but Iona is easily the best 15th seed IMO. I would have been much happier with Harvard.

Iona wins only if Jeff Ruland comes back from past and plays and coaches.

They've never won an NCAA game. They've won one NIT game. Jeff Ruland (pretty decent NBA player) is their best alumnus - and former coach. From New Rochelle, NY. They do play tough, however.

Not the least bit worried about Iona. Give me Craft on Jones all day long. Jones is a pretty good scorer, but he turns the ball over quite a bit.
