Florida should be very concerned. Pitt was criminally underseeded.

This could be Wisconsin's year. And that would be the case the year I didn't pick them.

Same here. The diff this year is they can score.

Yep. And as I've said in their defense all year, great offense can win you a lot of games in the tournament. However, I think that Creighton's offense is better than Wisconsin's is when each is at its best. JMO.

I certainly wouldn't be upset if Bo got to the Final Four. He deserves it.

Pathetic performance by the Bearcats. It's amazing how great a year they've had being essentially a one-man band.

Harvard is just good. I am mad at myself for not picking them. But I only had Cincy winning one game, so whatever. My first loss of the day most likely.

Kilpatrick without a single point in 12 minutes and Cincy still within two. The Bearcats have a chance here, but Kilpatrick better start making plays fast.

Better team gonna win. Just like OSU, you can't win in March if you have no offense.

Albany's greatest time to shine was against No. 1 seed UConn in 2006. The Great Danes had a double-digit second half lead. I was at a high school boy's regional game at Anderson Arena (Continental vs. Africentric or something lol) and left in the third quarter to race home to see the finish after a friend called to alert of me the proceedings. By the time I got there, Albany was down 12.

Amazing how close so many 16s have been without closing the deal.

UNC Asheville should have gotten the upset over Cuse a few years ago but the refs made sure that didn't happen.

BTW Rec was that the year Continental went to the state semi's? If so my brother in law was on that team haha.

I was at the 2006 state semis/finals. Africentric was eventually ruled ineligible, if I remember correctly.

Of course, the main highlight was Mayo/Walker/Keenan Ellis.

Albany trails by 2 at the 16-minute timeout.

I just don't get the feeling that Albany actually has a chance in this game. They need to do more than "almost not losing".

I'm sure you're right, actually. Trying to will it to happen though
