You guys are right about them being good this year - I was thinking from more of a tournament sense as they aren't usually at the same level as Duke, NC, Kansas, Mich St, Ohio St, Syracuse, etc. I have a feeling this might be their year though!

That absolutely makes sense -- I agree. I want to see a Marquette v. Missouri sweet 16 matchup.

Izzo is one of the greats. It's just amazing how he can take a decent team and turn them into winners year after year.

My favorite(Syracuse)just took a huge hit when their starting center Fab Melo was declared ineligible. He did not travel with the team and will not play in the tournament. Bummer

There are so many good teams that it's hard to pick one. I believe in the end, it will be Kentucky cutting down the nets.

My sleeper:
Virginia Commonwealth University. UConn could be tough too.

Man, that was a big hit. K-State or WI much more likely to upset without Melo.

The wife is a huge fan of Iowa State, so we made the split decision to drive to Indy tonight, get up and finish the drive, and then watch all the games in Louisville tomorrow and Sat. [this basically means that I lost an argument about rarely ever taking vacation and agreed to give her a long weekend after clearing it with work]. Anyway, I was able to have the tickets over-nighted to me and have the tickets in hand for tomorrow and Sat. in Louisville --- should be a fun weekend of basketball.

Some funny calls towards the end of the Syracuse/UNC-Ashville game.
