    I would have thought you'd be a Kentucky guy Joel.

    I've been seriously thinking about picking Wiscy...they are as good as Joel says...and everybody will be either picking Kentucky or trying to pick the team that will upset Kentucky.

    How did Rutgers ever beat Wisconsin??? Guess that's why we play the games.

    Well I do hope Kentucky doesn't run the table, naturally I'd like one of my teams to be the one who takes them out, but Wisconsin would be fine with me. I don't really know what level of player Bo Ryan gets at Wisc, it for sure isn't the McDonalds AA's like you see at Duke and Kentucky amongst others and he is a guy who paid his dues rising through the Wisconsin coaching ranks.

    BTW, it's hard to imagine that Thad Matta has been at Ohio State more than 10 years now...just seems like the other day that he left Xavier. Xavier might claim to be the cradle of coaches. Sean Miller, Matta's asst had a good run at XU before he left for Arizona where he's elevated that program back to where it was.

    What? No one picking the Gators? :)

    Kentucky wins it all in my opinion.

    Hard to pick against Kentucky, they rolled Auburn today.

    I'm sure though that Joel was watching the Harvard/Yale playoff! :)

    Congratulations to Notre Dame for winning the ACC.

    I haven't seen Wisconsin but I find it hard to think Kentucky isn't going all the way.

    Joel not withstanding, I think Kentucky will be the overwhelming favorite to run the table and win it all. Natchurally I 'd like the Irish to knock them sort of like Duke did to seemingly unbeatable UNLV back in the' 90s. Maybe Wisconsin can or somebody but who ever does it'll be a monumental upset.

    Only saw the OT in the Wisconsin /MSU game, but it was all Wisconsin. SMU hung on to beat UCONN. Bracketology should be set now, everything will be revealed soon.!

    Well the Irish could face Kentucky! Should get by Northeastern, but dangerous team in the winner of the Butler/Texas match-up.

    I like wisc..yes. HOWEVER, after seeing that 18 year old kid from Duke OKAFAR anything can happen. I have never seen a big man in college since Alcindor play like that Dukie!
