Duke's loss is undoubtedly great for our bracket (and great for America), but are the Shockers somebody that we're itching to face over Louisville?  Wichita State played Louisville very tight last year and lost nowhere near the talent that Louisville did.

In any event, Duke's tears taste like sugar.

So is there anyone with a billion dollar bracket still?  I can picture Warren Buffett just grinning in his office making fun of all of us idiots who submitted a bracket.  I'll bet after yesterday 98% of brackets were out.  Now it's 100%.  You could almost let people submit unlimited brackets and no one would win.  Why not just make it $1 trillion next year?

Idiots? They're giving out 20 prizes of $100,000 in any event. And even if the odds of winning the billion dollars are infinitesimal, the potential payoff massively outweighs the tiny amount of effort it takes (register at the site and submit your bracket) to enter.

I guarantee you there are people who did a lot of research and generated multiple brackets with multiple email accounts all for nothing.  1/500,000 is your chance of winning $100,000.  After tax you'll be lucky to take home $50K.  Woop dee doo.

Has not been good for Duke and Coach K.  The last two sucked in the NCAA Tournament and were still lottery choices.

Same thing with this year.

He seemed to do better with slow white boys who stayed for four years.

For someone to say it was the 2nd round. I can't stand that they consider these games the second round. To me, (and it seems like to most others) these are first round games. Michigan took all that flack for an early exit to ohio two years ago. I would be lying if I said it was not at least a bit entertaining to hear the impending excuses from the likes of Duke and osu fans alike. Pure gold.
