    Sad but true- very rare you get see opposing fans treated as poorly as they tend to. And I'm not speaking of a single occurance but games over many years.

    Or, don't be a chud going to a sportsball match because there is little else to do for a social life and you think camping in Krizilonski-ville looks cool.

    They camp out for a team that tends to get past the first round of the tourney.   Tough for MD fans to relate after tonight, I'm sure.

    Just read how unhappy Coach K is with the Gender Law in North Carolina which is  Forcing the NCAA to move all tournament games away from North Carolina to Greensboro. Seems he wants the easiest bracket, played on their home courts too. Just what size round is typically used by North Carolina coaches when targeting fish in a barrel?

    Well that was fun being in the lead picking 19 out of 20! It was also fun being in the stands to see my team play. Not so fun to see my SMU Mustangs lose and blow up my bracket, I had them going all the way to the final 4.

    At least you made it- the only good thing about not having the Wolfpack in this year is I didn't have to pick with my heart and put them in the elite 8 :)

    I think they look for can't-miss opportunities, for situations like when you're down one with less than three seconds left in overtime and have to inbound from the opponent's baseline.

    It's time for Wisconsin to kick it into gear and take this game from Villanova since they are so weak.  I trusted @bgebrent and @YukonRon and picked accordingly.  

    Of course, it was easy for me to have some deja vu and have Wisconsin knock of Duke's top contender and get beat up doing it so Duke can take them when the time comes... a la 2015.

    @Foghorn - your thanks for that hose job belongs squarely with Calipari.  He felt obligated (or so he said) to play the Harrisons with Booker and Ulis on the pine.  You can't know how a change would have played out but it couldn't have been any worse than it was.

    @saluki2007, as long as your eventual champion is still in, you have a shot.

    Am I the only one who picked Texas Southern?  =)
