    I had MSU into the sweet 16, they have hurt my bracket but as long as none of my final four teams lose I'm ok

    guess It proves how overrated MSU were this year, along with Oklahoma were the two most overrated teams in the nation this year.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Schaddy:</div><div class="quote_post">I'm sorry, I must say something here about a Big 10 team: Michigan State, with the talent they had, the coach they have, and coming off a Final Four last year, was the biggest disappointment in all of college basketball this year. Stanford and a couple others were horrible too, but wow.</div>

    I'm with you Schaddy. I had Michigan State going to the Final Four. They have the second best coach in the country and three big-time players in Davis, Ager, and Brown. I thought it was a lock that would make it to at least the Elite 8.

    I have to question thier decision making down the stretch of the game last night. With the poor free throw shooting of Bradley, I thought they should have taken it to the rack far more often instead of settling for threes.

    Easily the biggest upset in the tourney so far.

    Duke is looking good early, getting alot of easy shots by running the floor. The freshman are doing good today, McRoberts with a nice dunk and good defense, then Paulus playing well, making good decisions.

    I picked Duke, but I'm rooting for GW. I just despise the Blue Devils.

    People hate Duke for all the wrong reasons. I just don't understand how you can hate a team that plays with such a passion for the game. They win alot, but there not cocky about it at all. After they score a big bucket, there not going to taunt you, there just going to run back on defense. Coach K has built a truely great program.

    Wow, Noah can't make anything and we are still up 8 with Horford at the line. Our bigs are playing great and Moss is giving us some good minutes with a couple of offensive boards. When Brewer is making his shots, we are goign to be a really tough team to beat, unfortunately he has 2 fouls. Gators 19-11 so far with about 8 mins to go in the 1st.

    Chutney, going with Bradley? That's a bold pick, that would be another HUGE upset if they won.

    Gators win 82-60. Noah finished with 17 pts 7 boards and 6 assists. Corey Brewer had 23 pts. We have played arguably the best ball in the tournament so far, winning both games by over 20 pts. I definetely wouldn't want to face these Gators if I was another team. Should be interesting against Georgetown/Ohio State.

    3-0 today so far for me. I'm also glad Tennessee got eliminated. It would've been even better if Winthrop beat them, but congrats to Wichita State getting to the sweet 16.
