That matches up with my remaining bracket. I have 7 teams still alive out of the ones in the Elite 8 so I feel pretty good about that. My bracket also shows that the final will be played between KU and NC with KU coming out on top.

Ahhhh, 4 of the 8 from the ACC !!!!!!!

I’m pulling for Nova.

One thing is certain— with all the teams in March Madness, all will lose-— except one.

I picked Michigan State to go all the way. :(

I am jumping on the Nova bandwagon since I will be surrounded by rabid Nova fans tonight.

Ken Pom rating service says KU Villanova is the title game tonight

I have faith in KU to blow it, as much as I’d love to see Roy Williams lose.

[WVKayaker]

ACC, where only the best survive! Where else but NC can you find such talent within one state border? UNC, NCState, Duke, and Wake Forest allows for some of the best competition and fan interaction... Just down the road from each other!

As a native Tarheel myself (Wilmington), I love me some NCAA Basketball!

[FearlessFreep]

Right on! I am from Rocky Mount. Met Phil Ford and Dean Smith after the US won gold in the 76 Olympics. Been a Heel fan ever since.

All one has to do is look at all of the NCAA championships in the Triangle. And I’m not just talking basketball.

bttt

Wise decision. :)

[T-Bird45]

They were in my Elite 8 and Final 4. That really takes the wind out of a bracket to lose MSU in the first game.

[terycarl]

they just lost to Villanova 64-59

Obama picked KU in his bracket so I knew they were doomed.
