Need Kentucky, Iowa State, Creighton and Stanford (as a bracket buster; I had Syracuse in the Elite Eight in the South) really badly tomorrow. Must wins.

At least one of us is going to be very disappointed.

Assuming you have Wichita, Wisconsin and Kansas in your Elite Eight?

1/3. I have Baylor to the 8. They're the only one I really need tomorrow.

I do have Kansas, but I doubt many people went Stanford-Dayton so that doesn't concern me much. I have Louisville in the Final 4, but beating Wichita in the S16.

Baylor-Creighton is probably the game I am most looking forward to tomorrow. Should be really intriguing, given the completely different makeups of those teams. The Bears have the overall advantage in sheer talent, but Creighton has the best college player in the country and the more consistent team.

The possibility of a Brady Heslip-Ethan Wragge h-o-r-s-e contest is an awesome thought.

Ah. That Baylor-Creighton matchup is huge. No idea which team will come to play for Baylor and that scares the fuck out of me since I have Creighton in the Elite Eight.

Awesome raw emotion by North Dakota State coach Saul Phillips in his post-game presser tonight. That is why the NCAA Tournament is the best sporting event there is IMO. The Bison had six seniors and he knows that the journey is over.

Looking for UK, UNC and TEN....and if Stanford knocks off Kansas (probably only hurts me if they make the Final 4 or deeper), then I really like my chances of one of my brackets finishing in the top-3 of my pool.

Be interesting (hopefully) to crunch the numbers after tomorrow.


actually, Baylor winning would hurt me pretty bad.

Anybody here about the partying in Dayton last night? President was apparently crowdsurfing and someone took a pic with him as the riot police were coming in the background lol.

I briefly saw him being interviewed on the local news from what looked like a crowded bar.

I have UConn in the final four and this is essentially why.

Haha, sweet. Not really surprised. That place always gets nuts and requires extra cops & security around St. Patrick's day.

The death knell of my bracket. That'd be three Elite Eights gone (Duke and Syracuse the others). Pretty much unrecoverable.

I had them losing to Iowa State, but I think it will go the other way with Niang's broken foot, regardless of whether it's ISU or UNC.

He says he'll play, but I don't expect to see him on the floor much. That injury looked painful and he didn't participate in practice yesterday.

Great pick. Napier is one of those rare players that just refuses to let his team lose. He should be in the nightmares of every other team's fans in that region. Bryce Cotton is good. Shabazz Napier is better.

It's weird because I used to cheer against UConn with all my energy in March, but with Calhoun now gone, I find myself enjoying watching UConn. I have Iowa State, but if they can't do it, I hope Napier can.
