If Baylor wins one more game and Kentucky takes it all then Basketball will be a very sweet game after all.

(Yes, unlike Scaeagles it's all about the brackets for me, at least at this point where all the schools I have any tie to are long gone.)

GO BUTLER!

Unlike Moonliner who is all about the bracket, I was in a great spot in my pool (80 entries, I was in 5th) and if K State won today and Kentucky didn't win it all I was going to win. However, I found myself cheering for Butler.

What a game.

*sigh*

Time to start scouting talent and making notes for next years brackets.

One of the podcasts I listen to had something like 18 experts on to give their picks before the tournament. They were all pretty much unanimous that Kansas would win and Duke would be the first #1 out of the tournament.

Good to know that sports experts are just as bad as financial experts.

I get really mad when I listen to some of the sports guys. Seth Davis on CBS doesn't get it. When Syracuse lost, he said "this just makes it all the easier for Kansas State to make the final four". He has no respect for the mid majors and thinks when one knocks off a power that it only means it's easier for other powers. Ticks me off. Give the kids some props.

But i have good news for my pool. I'm in an 80 person pool, and if Duke makes the championship game and loses (doesn't matter to who), I win! Guess everyone else is as hosed as I am.

That Duke-Baylor game was something. Like two heavyweights slugging it out in the middle of the ring.

I'm thinking, maybe, James Tillis & Gerrie Coetzee.

Can the minor league basketball championships truly be won by a bunch of white kids shooting threes underhanded from half-court?

Last second buzz-beater puts Stanford in women's Final Four. Woot!

scaeagles · 03-30-2010, 07:59 AM

I saw that.

However, all the wonen's tournament is this year is a contest on 1 side of the bracket to determine who gets to be anihilated by UConn.

We'll see about that.

I realize those be fightin' words to you, but in all honesty, do you really believe anyone can beat UConn?
