NCAA March Madness

1. Have heard Eastern Washington can shoot lights out 3s. Enough to beat Georgetown?

2, SF Austin sexy pick to beat Utah. Not quite buying though.

3. I have Wichita State beating Kansas. Wishful thinking? Maybe. They say guard play is key in winning tournament games, and Fred Van Fleet is an experienced stud.

4. I always take the Zags. I am always disappointed. Is this the year?

5. If UCLA and Indiana win their first games, I will be pissed.

6. Why am I still shaky on Virginia? They have done nothing wrong, yet,

7. The committee thought they should (most likely) play Michigan State in second round. Geez, talk about no respect.

8. I always pick Butler.

9. My wife always picks Duke. (homer)

10. After Kentucky wins, I wonder if Ashley Judd will still show up at games when they are not so dominant?

I've been following the Zags since I lived in Washington State. They always did well in the tourney when they were the underdog. Lately they have lost the underdog label and since losing it, they always disappoint. This year I have confidence in them, they've got size up front and capable guards. I'm not picking them to win, but I think they can go deep. I'd like to see Eastern WA play the Cinderella role.

Arkansas has a shot to win a couple of games. They should beat Wofford to bring on a likely match with North Carolina. If they play well, they can beat NC.

My dad went to Wichita State, so I will pull for them.

Used to live in the Northeast during the 80's when the Big East was one of the top BB conferences in the country. Good to see Providence in the dance.

Usually by the time we get to the final four, any teams I am rooting for are knocked out.

Forgot to add Northeastern to the list, that's where I went to school. I don't know anything about their team. Northeastern BB had a brief moment of glory when Reggie Lewis played for them back in the early 80's. Fell one point shy of making the sweet 16 in 1984.

Northeastern almost pulled off the upset against 3 seed Notre Dame, had the ball, down 2, with 2 seconds left but turned it over. But, 2 other 3 seeds knocked out - Iowa St. and Baylor.

Arkansas survived. So did NC who the Hogs will play next. Lots of close games Thursday with some upsets.
