So who'd you get in the office pool/bar pool etc..?

Random draw got me Kansas(3), Syracuse(4), and Utah St(14). :thumbsup:

Not doing the office thing but my final four is:

Illinois and Georgia Tech with Illinois advancing
North Carolina and Oklahoma with UNC advancing.

I have Illinois taking the prize.

We've gotten to the point where the only pool we do is the superbowl block pool.

Sports apathy reigns supreme.

Especially with the Flyers not playing.

We're a hockey hospital. It's kind of sad. There are several cars in the parking lot with windowflags bearing the Fly-boy's logo.

My final 4 is Illinois, West Virginia (as my whoa where did they come from seed), Kentucky and UNC.

UNC taking it all, of course!

I am just itching at the possibility of a UNC v. Kansas game in the elite 8... that would be freaking amazing as Kansas is still bitter from us taking their coach.

Roy Williams...frigging two-faced, back-stabbing traitorous....mumblemumblemumble... :bitching:

KU picked a really lousy time to start sucking, too. It is a long time until football season here in the Midwest, so being a sports fan is gonna suck until then.

You all had to realize that he was going to leave for UNC eventually...

my picks for the college basketball finals?

LeBron James and the Cav's over Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets,
Dorrell Wright and Miami over Dwight Howard and Orlando

oh wait .... now I remember why college bball sucks.

Not according to Bucknell. :)

The Kansas players and coach didn't even hang around for the post-game handshakes. Presumably, they had to hurry back to the hotel so they wouldn't have to pay for an extra night :lol:

Ow! Thats gonna leave a mark.

Word around campus was that Vermont could give Syracuse a run... Gee, I guess! They ripped through the America East schedule but AE is pretty weak, although maybe getting better.

WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) -- Tom Brennan would have retired a happy man regardless. But his 264th victory at Vermont made his impending departure a whole lot sweeter.

The wildly popular coach cried openly Friday night after his 13th-seeded Catamounts earned their biggest victory in school history. Germain Mopa Njila and T.J. Sorrentine hit consecutive 3-pointers in a 48-second span of overtime, and Vermont upset Big East champion Syracuse 60-57 in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

I am so happy for Vermont. Tom Brennan is a terrific guy, so I wish his team well and hope that they go far. They've come down to Carolina the past few years to play us, and granted UNC kicked their butts, but Tom Brennan was always so complimentary towards UNC, his own players, everything. A truly nice guy and a definite asset to the game who will be missed.

Damn Kansas... when I am I ever going to have my Roy Willaims v. Kansas showdown!!!!
