    This is going to be the most watered down Final Four in a long, long time.

    I disagree.

    In both cases, today......I think the best team (at this point in the season) won.

    Yup, I was at the game. Really a great game. WVa played tough against some very athletic players.

    WVU played tough for sure, but 0 for 19 to start from 3s? What a joke, we fell apart and gave that game away! lol

    Go Butler and Baylor at this point I guess, who knows. 3 best teams of the year are out at this point.

    So you're the best if you play bad and lose?

    Weird.

    Tiger Woods finished in a 4 way tie for SIXTH place in the Masters last year, I guess he was around the 6th-10th best golfer on the tour huh?

    What a joke. Kansas, Syracuse, and Kentucky were the best 3 teams this year. They all choked in the tourney, but it's pretty easy to recognize this.

    When I say watered down, I don't mean the teams are weak, overachievers, etc. I just think there isn't a lot of star power, a lot of "flare" this year. I think it's been a great tournament, I like Butler a lot, Northern Iowa was a great story.

    I don't think the best teams won today, but this time of year you don't have to be the best team, you just be better than the other team. It's funny, after the first weekend, I thought Syracuse is just looking too good. And after watching Kentucky steamroll Wake and Cornell, I thought they just looked unbeatable. There have just been a lot of inconsistencies with the teams this year.

    Am I making any sense? lol

    Tiger woods wasn't the best golfer that weekend (obviously). Is he the best golfer in the world (encompassing ALL)? Yeah.

    Semantics. The NCAA tourney is all about streaking. The teams on the best streak won, today. WVU was the better team.....today.

    This wasn't an upset in my eyes (check my bracket).

    Busted bracket? LMAO! How about shattered beyond recognition. Maybe my ugliest looking creation of all time.

    no, but neither does this tournament.

    I've got 3 teams still in it (though one of them will go out later today).

    Sorry. I didn't/don't see WVU over UK as an upset.

    This is the 1st time that I can ever remember that I have no teams in the final 4.

    If Duke wins today and beats WV next week my 12 year old wins the pool we are in (40 people) I have never won ever. I have been entering pools since the late 80's.

    Go Duke.

    I had WVU over Kentucky. I didn't see it as that big of an upset really... However, I've only got one team remaining in the final four. I think it's safe to say that I'm glad I didn't buy my way into any tournament pools this year. Every year in our town we have a day where they auction off all of the teams in the tournament, and I sure felt bad for the guys that bought Kansas. I think they spent 6 some thousand dollars.
