That one was a blow to my bracket (had them as a Final Four team).
Yeah, I can't really say I'm sorry to see them go. Though I wonder if anyone left in the region will challenge Duke.
[edit]
I have to add, I am not entirely proud of the fact that I experienced a bit of schadenfreude at the wildcats' loss. Not being a dick about sports is tougher than it should be.
Well, I know what they'll be talking about at commencement at Northwestern when I go there in June.
Is it football season yet?
And now the tournament just got less interesting. I was hoping for a return trip to KC to take on KU again.
I was rooting for you. The Sprint Center would have been ridiculous. Of course, KU still has to get by Izzo and Michigan State. They totally should, but Izzo could will that team to a Sweet 16.
Assuming Wichita St. goes down (I have them in the finals), my bracket should turn back into a pumpkin by the end of the day (as expected). With Wisky and Purdue advancing, the Big10 has a real shot to show pretty well this year.
Go Blue!
f*cking hate Louisville. If I bet against them, they win. Now that I have them moving on, they are falling apart.
Have never been happier to have my bracket blown up.
Gotta laugh at the commentators in this KU game. Jackson gets called for a BS goaltending, wiping out a basket. The overhead shot shows clearly shows he didn't touch it, which the commenters noted. Then they showed a shot form the side, from an angle that makes it look like he hit it. Then they talk about how great the officials were for catching that.
I mean, it's clear why the ref called it, but it was still wrong.
KU won, so I don't care. But this is my bracket's these song.
Sweet 16 Teams by Conference:
Big 12 - 3
Big 10 - 3
Pac 12 - 3
SEC - 3
Mid Majors - 3
ACC - 1
Whoa. Duke is out? Did not see that coming. (I called it a night after Rhodey lost; dammit!)
Sorry I didn't post earlier. I was too busy recovering from the HEART ATTACK I had during the UNC / Arkansas game.
Gah.
That was a really physical game. They were calling fouls, and then not calling fouls... I really don't quite get the no-call towards the end involving Berry. It was either a block, charge, or walk... but nothing? I mean, I'll take it. UNC's been on the receiving side of some of those mysterious no-calls too, so I guess they were due one.
Uhh, I think Kansas wanted to win. Good grief.
That was something.
:wow:
I would imagine that the KC Sprint Center is about the biggest home court advantage any team ever gets in Tournament play. Lawrence is about 30-40 minutes away, so even the team is probably staying downtown, they are really are at home. They even play a couple of games there every year. It's a hell of an advantage.
So, I guess I'm going to have Duck for dinner Saturday night.
Best I can tell, with regards to the bracket pool:
If Kentucky wins tonight, oldmanscene wins with a Gonzaga win in the FF otherwise Ego Man wins.
If UNC wins tonight, Ego Man wins with a Gonzaga FF loss or if UNC beats Gonzaga in the final. I win with a Gonzaga FF win and UNC FF loss or if Gonzaga beats UNC in the final.
Hell of a game. Now UK's Monk was the shot before the shot guy.
Giant exhale.
Holy crap, what a game. To finally be on the winning side of a buzzer beater was refreshing.
Luke Maye for regional MVP!

I beat ukick, that's all that matters to me.
What an odd tourney but I guess they all have been odd tourneys recently. Tournament mis-seedings or something else?
