    Anyone think LSU has a slim chance of upsetting UNC. I sure hope so. LSU has some good talent

    I have 'Cuse and UNC in the Elite 8. 'Cuse takes it.

    I think Butler would be more of a problem for UNC, especially if they don't have Lawson. I have Zags & OU in Elite 8.

    I've got Arizona State and UNC in the Elite Eight, and as much as I would love to predict someone knocking off the Tar Heels, I just don't see any team they'll face in the South regional capable of besting them both inside and out. Great guards and the most dependable big man in the NCAA - tough combination.

    Along the way, though, there are certainly some "favorite upsets" out there. Western Kentucky is everyone's favorite to beat Illinois. Michigan could certainly beat Clemson. And in the second round, I don't see LSU beating UNC, but WK could go on to beat Gonzaga, and could Michigan knock off Oklahoma?

    I think people are giving up on Oklahoma too easily. Sure, Blake Griffin has been injured, but if he gets healthy and turns it on, he could carry Oklahoma past UNC.

    Butler fell behind early but have comeback to cut it down to 1 with 15 minutes left. Matt Howard is a beast

    This game might be overlooked but LSU is up on Butler by 5 with 3:51 left.

    Yeah, Chris Johnson is like the skinniest 7 footer you'll see. He was only like 185 pounds I believe last year, and he's 7-foot.

    Great effort by Butler, too bad they came up short. LSU should give UNC a run for their money

    Damn it! I think I have Clemson beating Oklahoma. I've had two wrong today. State beating Washington and Clemson beating Michigan.

    I'm rocking a 12-0 record so far.

    that means I'll be 8-8 tomorrow.
