Im worried about UNC. I picked them to win it all but they could be in major trouble without Kendall Marshall. I wish we were playing them instead of OHIO.

I don't think will be as good as last night.  I hate to say it but UNC, even sans Marshall, I think will destroy Ohio.  Baylor could be a good one, but I see them running away with that one too.  N.C. St. can hang with Kansas I think but Kentucky is a better team than 3 months ago and will dominate IU I fear.  I could be wrong on all of these, who knows.

My ESPN bracket looks bad but I have a possible 1120 points remaining with 7/8 of my Elite 8 (damn you Sparty) in tact and all of my Final Four; Florida in the championship definitely separates mine from many others so I'm hopeful for UNC, Kentucky, Baylor and Kansas victories for that to stay in tact.

might as well be a pro team.  UNC (even minus Marshall) v. OSU is going to be one hell of a basketball game.  And yes, tOSU will punk Syracuse and Taylor is not nearly enough to get Kansas by Carolina.  This could be a legendary final four.

Has makings of a possible great one.  I dunno, though, I think 'Cuse will give Ohio troubles; not sure who I would pick head-head right now (I WANT Syracuse at this point for Bracket possibilities).

Just finished BBQ chicken on the grill. Waiting on the KY game, not a big fan, but I was born in Lexington and my Mom/Uncle are grads. Also, the rest of my mom's family was born in KY as well so I try to give support where I can. I loved KY when Pitino was coaching as KY hated Duke as much as Michigan and the KY/UM final four game was one of the best I have ever seen.

my favorite college basketball game of all time.  I could talk about it all night.  EVERYBODY showed up for both teams.  Michigan game planned for Mashburn like he was Jordan and I think he still got 28.  Rose was exceptional, Webber was like 8/8 from the free throw line.  Jimmy King blanketed Ford and I remember Ford still went back to back 3s in the second half to tie it.  I remember Pritchett checking into the game with a "I am in way over my head" look on his face.  I still maintain that was the best college basketball game I have ever seen.  Have it taped in VHS!!

I think it might be time for all the bandwagon Michigan fans to realize that Ohio is a legitimately good basketball team.

Though they didn't pull it off, they gave a top team in the country a hell of a game.  This has been brought up before, but how in the hell did they finish THIRD in the MAC?!

Sorry about Hockey guys.  Sounds like it was a bit of a buzz-kill/Month-of-March-Kill
