I am really shocked, just shocked UNC plays the very last late game.

Probably because Gonzaga is a west coast team. That would be my guess.

They met in the sweet 16 1n 1988. Hopefully Kansas will not bring their own timekeeper this time. LOL!

Gonzaga has an advantage of playing the tight rims at
Gonzaga has the advantage of playing UofM at the FedEx Forum, and know all about the tight rims.

With two exceptions, the selection committee got the sweet 16 right. Purdue was a #5 seed, and with various criteria related to matching teams in the same conference, you'd pretty much have to say the committee got that right, too.
The only ‘upset’ would be Arizona, but they are individually very talented and their guards are very quick. Their first round win wasn't really an upset and playing a 13th seed in the second round made their trip to the Sweet 16 much easier. As for the Final Four, I think Louisville is the safest bet. The only teams that don't have a chance are Purdue, Arizona, and Duke. Purdue is not quick or deep enough; Duke is not a deep team and will get hammered inside; and Arizona isn't mentally or physically tough enough, although their guards are the quickest of the teams left.
One might be tempted to pick Gonzaga, but they have too many mental lapses at the end of games.

A word to the wise: when filling out a bracket, try not to have your own team going all the way only to lose in the 1st round. It’s the anti-Sugar Bowl feeling/sensation and quite frankly, I’m disappointed.

I take my hat off to the big east this year. The ACC looked good on paper. N.C. and duke could still roll but the acc can’t claim to be the numero uno conference this year.

Remaining seeds... 1, 2, 3, 4... 1, 2, 3, 4.... 1, 2, 3, 5... 1, 2, 3, 12.
ONE Friggin' outsider... and it's Arizona, who I was hoping would show that they didn't belong. *sigh*

Every team other than Arizona (12) was rated 5 or less. Go Gonzaga!
