Fuck them. If they're not willing to be SU fans, than they're not worthy of being molded into good decent members of our society.

I will definitly be watching the game in my office. I usually try to hide the fact that I'm goofing off at work when my boss walks in, but I've been completely upfront with him this week--I'm not hiding this at all today. I am super pumped for this game.

    Marquette is the only Big East team I picked against. I have the other 6 making it to the Elite Eight.

    i'd like to see the Big XII do good, but Tennesse just seems like a low seeded team with the talent to make a deep run if they put it together. they could also be one and done, we'll know in a few hours....

    A guy I work with has this upset... I think WVU could be a sleeper to make a run to the Elite Eight, though. I think this is one of the easier 6/11, 5/12, 7/10 level games to call this week.

    it's hard to be a sleeper when everyone's picking you..... from the moment the brackets dropped last sunday, all of the "experts" were circling WVU as the team to knock KU out in the second round. the more people that started picking them, the less i liked their chances. i know they play in the Big East and i'm aware that they beat bit, but i'm just not ready to drink the kool-aid yet.

    Sleeper being in the sense that they're capable of getting further than their seed warrants. If WVU makes it to the sweet sixteen as a 6 seed than they would fully qualify for a sleeper, as theoretically, only 1-4 seeds should make it that far. I have them knocking off Kansas in the second round, but I would not be the least bit surprised to see them lose to KU--I think it'll be one of the most interesting matchups of the second round. As for Dayton? I don't really think they've got a chance going up against WVU today. That's just how I see it personally.

    if Cole Aldrich stays out of foul trouble, i think KU handles WVU.... but that's the homer in me speaking.

    KUs so young... They're hard to guage; They could run to the final four or they could lose to NDSU. They're a wild card.

    Also I've got Syracuse winning the whole god damn thing, so I can understand the homer aspect coming out.

    agree completely. i'm just hoping the experience of Collins can get them through the jitters of today's game and they can settle down. i also believe that losing in the first round of the Big XII tournament will help them out a lot. they looked great a few weeks ago when beating OU on the road and blowing out Mizzou but seemed to be losing their legs as of late. hopefully they're rested and ready to roll....

    13-3 yesterday. and didn't lose any sweet 16, so not a bad day. today is a littler riskier, though. i have utah st (11 seed) and wisconsin (12) both advancing to the sweet 16, so they both need to win today. i also have zona, stephen f. austin, dayton and portland st. winning today. damn, just looking at that makes me laugh. what the fuck was i doing? but then again, if i remember correctly, last year's tourney had day 1 being relatively tame as far as upsets, but then day 2 went nuts. hopefully this year follows the same formula.

    I see Kansas being great next year one of 4 or 5 legitamate NC contenders 2 years from now. That timeline could be easily shortened though, the past 2 years has really shown me that Self is an elite coach, and he's capable of getting the most out of the guys he's got.

    if Collins and Aldrich stay, they'll be a legit contender next season. they're losing NOTHING in the form of seniors, so next year could be fun to watch if the NBA doesn't come calling.

    Collins could be a good NBA player... He's got a great basketball IQ, which is harder to come by than the talent, I've found.

    13-3 yestereday but today could no doubt be a bracket shreading day.

    Haha look at what I have:

    Arizona over Utah
    Cleveland St over Wake Forest(and Arizonato get into the Sweet 16)
    WVU advancing to the Elite 8
    USC over BC(and MSU to get into the Sweet 16)
    Utah St over Marquette(and Mizzou to get into the Sweet 16)
    Tennessee over Oklahoma St

    maybe shit, maybe not, we'll see

    I think Greives Vasquez is going to be one of the greatest guards to ever play in the NBA. He will be legendary.
