    Can't only look at the sports books odds. They are about both who should win and about getting equal money on both sides - if a team's fans have a history of heavy betting then the odds shift to take that into account.  Just sayin

    Busy brother.  Kentucky has the talent.  Briscoe has to play well.  Monk has to be on.  Hawkins is a bonus.  I'm back brother!  Thanks for holding down the fort!

    Kentucky has the toughest road, easily.  A recognized, under-ranked Wich ST., then UCLA (or even if Cinci), Then likely NC (or even if Butler).  They have the ability.  Gonna have to be firing on all cylinders, every game.  True for everyone.  Fingers crossed.

    At least when UK wins it, it will be justifiable and earned the right way, without getting a cakewalk, like those other teams in other regions that get hall passes to the cake walk.

    It's time for me to just embrace the fun and enjoy the Blue Devil cakewalk. Duke alumni are well-positioned to make it happen and to do things like put Wichita St in Kentucky's path. It's paying off.  =)

    I used to like you ;).  You guys ought to make the FF IMO.  Hope to hell we can.  In any event, this is my favorite sports event of the year.  Damn TIP club or whatever it's called.  Its a nonprofit front for collecting $ to influence the selection committee.  Regrettably, it works.  =)

    You could be right.  After Duke's cake walk they might beat Arizona.  And we have a big handful every game after round one.  Our round one is an in state rivalry game.  Your round one is against Troy.  Woo, be careful.  Our round 2 is likely against Wichita ST, a very dangerous team.  Your likely round 2 is S. Car. They're good ( for you Robin), but Woo.  Our round 3 is likely UCLA, even if Cinci legit teams.  Your round 3 is Baylor or SMU.  A solid challenge, not a UCLA.  If we get to the final 8, we get NC and you know well how good they are.  I think we can beat them again.  NC really the true #1 in the whole dance. You probably have to get by Villanova.  One of the weaker #1 seeds.  They won't beat you, the couldn't beat Kansas, Gonzaga, NC or Kentucky.  Now were down to 4.  Arizona will school Duke's braggarts.  Kentucky will beat Louisville to meet Arizona.  The two 2's will decide.  Not smoking anything.  Never have.

    Excellent analysis Brother Brent. We have to wear butt kicking boots to work, they  (Duke)  wear ballet slippers to the dance.
    Not that there is anything wrong with ballet. Just a different bracket which requires less work to get to the championship.
    #9, 34-5. Greatest program of all time.

    I created a bracket challenge on yahoo for anyone who would like to participate. I do not follow basketball at all, but these are fun and it only takes a few minutes to fill out a bracket. Winner gets bragging rights!

    Um, Wake Forest ? Maybe the ACC is over rated again this year? Who knows?

    Wake forest has a short life.  Ron, the ACC has been over rated but this is the first year they were worth a shlt.  Not skeered.

    Thinking there is a chance to have at least 3 SEC teams in the F4, maybe 4.

    Did you see the Kansas State / Wake Forest game? Not thinking much of the ACC. South Carolina will likely beat Duke.

    If SC beats Puke, and they could, the force would gain strength.

    It is going to happen. The analysts before the game all agreed WF would win this game, handedly. ACC bias. Remember, this is the first time Carolina schools play outside of Carolina prior to the F4. Big difference.
