    That was the fastest I've ever filled out a bracket in my life. Zero strategy and just went with first gut feeling. My new strategy. Screw logic. This tournament defies logic.

    Was thinking the same thing. Especially when Duke destroyed the Tarheels couple weeks ago. I would've dreaded coming here to take my beating lol.

    I can't wait til an 8 seeded Wildcats win the championship for the second time ever.... only this time it won't be Villanova, and it certainly won't be 1985.

    UK makes it farther than Kansas, Duke, or Michigan.... any takers?

    What happened to not betting on the cats?:D

    They can beat anyone but they can be beat by anyone. My thing is I don't think they can string together enough good games in a row.

    But they are capable of taking it all the way, just isn't very likely given their demeanor.

    I'm a cats fan, with that being said I don't they will make it past Louisville. If they make it that far. But I'm still going to be cheering them on every game.

    They beat UofL easily last matchup with Randle on the bench the entire second half with cramps and UofL actually still had Behanan then.

    Not saying Louisville isn't very capable of beating UK, but they don't match up well. UK shows up to play and they make the elite 8... Duke or Michigan as a matchup is a toss up.

    I actually (biased admittedly) think UK is the most talented team in the Midwest... But like tfox don't believe they can string together enough wins for that to matter. They won't show up to play some night and that will be the end of it.

    I was kidding about UK winning it all in last post, but serious in thinking they make it as far as Michigan, Duke, or Kansas....

    What's really sad is they have the talent to win it all.


    They have been better when Randal is on the bench and the ( 2) 7 footers are in the game together.

    That's a sad statement because he is the best player on the team.


    But atleast next year there will be some experience and the they're young excuse shouldn't be coming out of caliparis mouth . Im so tired of hearing that. He uses the excuse over and over but it's his fault they're so damn young.

    American and Dayton looking to bust brackets right out of the gate... Luckily I only had Wisconsin and Ohio St winning one game each so I won't be totally screwed if they do lose.

    Saw this too late to join the bracket challenge but I have Kentucky losing to K-State. Don't know why, just felt like picking the upset.

    I have SF Austin making a little run but losing to Florida.

    I figured Dayton would either beat OSU or at the very least make it interesting. Wisconsin is better than you think.

    Have Wisconsin in the Final Four. Very underrated as a 2 seed.

    Tourney time is up tempo basketball... Wisconsins offense is rated like 278th when it comes to pace.... They regularly score in the 50s. In no way did they (or Nova) deserve a 2 seed.

    Not saying they aren't capable of going on a run, but both teams are grossly over seeded and that is usually a good indicator for early upsets.
