Mslacat, CoachOuert, and a few others are some of the smartest people around. UNC will repeat!

Good luck on that RTB.
\
1: the last time a team repeated?
2: UNC coach has a history of comming up short. How many coaches have won more than one NCAA tourney?
3: Freshman, Freshman, Freshman. One good one is great, how many times have multple freshman worked in the NCAA Tourney?
4: I'd take Gonzaga before UNC. ...Neither make it past the Sweet 16.
5: How many times does Digger have to tell you Guard play, Guard play, Guard Play.

I can't figure out why nobody has mentioned the team hailing from the most dominant athletic program in the nation. If they can only win tonight in Flagstaff, I really can't see anyone stopping them in the big dance.

Actually, Uconn will be the team to beat. Neither the Zags nor the Tarheels will find their ways to the elite 8, unless Morrison goes nuts. I can see Duke bowing out really early or being really tough to beat. Redick will have to hit very tough shots and Williams will need to have huge games every time they play to be competitive.

I really don't see how Morrison's play will effect UNC!

I didn't realize the power that nasty 'stache has over other teams!

You are right that Gonzaga won't make it to the elite 8, I do think UNC can win at least two games and make it to the 16, and anything from there on out would just be icing on the cake. For a team to lose their top 7 scorers from last year and even be mentioned as having the potential to do some damage in the tournament is amazing!

GO HEELS!!! GO TEXAS!

....but he says unless Morrison goes nuts the Zags nor the Tarheels will make the elite 8. I just had to do a little joking as it appears the 'stache has power over the Heels performance.

My sleeper pick is KU. After seeing them flat dominate UT in the Big 12 championship, I am a believer. Bill Self has got himself one heck of a good, young team. I have never seen such good, crisp passing and unselfish play. Not to mention that at one point KU had 15 points off TO's to UT's 0. A good defense combined with an unselfish offense and some pretty good shooters from outside spells trouble for anyone playing Kansas.

Bump for all you numb nut NC fans on this board.

1 question does anybody know anybody from NC, went to the school in NC, lived in NC.....? or is because at the age of 12 you thought Sam Perkins was cool.

2: Same question to the one Numb nut Kentucky fan that I know posts on this board. (who happens to be pissing me off today, good showing mate)

I haven't posted all day, and I never said Kentucky would win it. I was hoping and praying but never predicting it.

Whooda thunk!! First time since 1980 that no #1 is in the final four. Now I don't feel so bad about my picks.
