Just saw your banner, you are right!
FL is going to have to fight to get into the final four.
It is said that when UConn won out west, look for another championship on its way.
Every time we beat UCLA in the tournament, we won the Championship.
But I sense for some reason, 2004 being repeated this year, both men and women Huskies winning.
Just happy that Duke is GONE.
Two number 1’s are gone, Pitt and Duke.
Who does FL go up against next?
Looks like Butler, just checked my brackets.
Get ready for Obama to rip his brackets up, and listen to it come the morning after the championship.
Butler.
Had checked my brackets, but THANKS anyways! I think a lot of people are scratching their heads wondering what happened.
BYU looked exhausted in OT, especially Fredette. But a good run for a team that suspended their most athletic guy up front.
I knew Duke was going down, St Johns dismantled them a couple of weeks ago just like Arizona dismantled them last night.Same type team, athleticism galore.
I picked Florida to be in the final four...mainly because many of the “experts” said they had little chance to get there.
Yep. The Crimson Tide should have been in the dance instead of any of 3 teams from the Big lEast.
Happy for A.Grant. Too bad for Pelphrey at Arkansas, but he’ll land on his feet without much problem.
Well as I said, if UConn wins out in the western regional, it could very much paved the way for it to go to the final four. The men want to join the women in both being in the final four.
I called it!!
VCU 72
Fla. St. 71
FINAL
OTOH, good call on KU!
I was pulling for FSU, I felt they would have had a better shot against KU than VCU.

Goes without saying they shouldn’t have suspended that guy for the mortal sin of doing his GF.
They could have gone all the way.
Sorry to hear that your FL Gators team down, little Butler took them out. My UConn Huskies is going to Houston.
Go UConn. Butler may be a formidable foe, but the Huskies will prevail.
