    Well now that the play in games are done we have the final 64 team field.

    I wonder if this first weekend will go to form or will it jump right into bracket busting mode!! :)

    I don't feel very confident about the Irish as we finished the season sort of mixed, a couple of wins but also a couple of bad losses. The same for Texas. I think both teams will need to play very well to win the first round game, I wouldn't bet on either making the sweet 16.

    Good luck to all.

    It wouldn't surprise me if ND is one and done vs. Michigan. At best, two and done.

    M has no inside game and soft on defense. We live or die by the 3.

    Sounds familiar Bobda...we are not a good defensive team, if we get shut down outside we're in trouble.

    BTW: Baylor is on it's way to be the first team to crap on my bracket...freakin' Yalies.

    I do not know which of the two upsets was more annoying, but both were huge upsets! :twisted:

    OK Krebs I'm rooting for your Flyers! Nothing would be finer than to see Boeheim get a big whupping!

    Didn't expect Michigan State to get beat today.. that had to hurt a lot of brackets.

    That loss by MSU probably rattled a lot of people, huge upset!

    Pitt blew the upset of Wisky...had the ball got into the lane and his own man bumped him off ....

    Stephen F. Austin giving WVA all it can handle...they were a very good team this year in the mid major category. Blew away their conference competition. But plenty of time for WVA to pull it out.

    Aggies blowing out Wisc-Green Bay.

    Mich raining freakin' 3 pointers. Irish made a little run to get with in 5 but then turned it over and over and over and UM finished on a 7-0 run and back up to 12 point lead.

    Texas made a little run as well but still down 8 at half.
