Woo-hoo! That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! ? Hey, it doesn't look like any of my alma mater's are up there though? ... the only one that might have made it will be a likely favourite to win the "other" smaller dance...

thats just the AP Top 25, only a couple of those teams are confirmed

i just figured i'd give everyone an idea of who is likely to be dancin

I gotta go with Pitt. I was leaning towards Stanford, but Pitt has a hell of a team

EDIT: I gotta change my pick. After Pitt lost again to connecticut. I'm gonna go with Stanford

Alright, I'm going to say ... Stanford ... semi-final answer...

I was thinking St. Josephs but they are out... I think Kentucky or Connecticut then perhaps Pitt ... maybe Illinois they have a lot of talent too and a tough conference and had the longest winning streak.

teams announced, deadline changed and new rules added

damn, all the top teams are losing, i'ma go with Oklahome St

Ummm... when was the deadline?
Very surprised about Kentucky today! Wow what a game!
Isn't Pitt out too? ...remember they were down late... didn't see the finish though. Illinois was rockin' today! and Duke and Stanford are still dominating too... I thought Bobby Knight was going to give St Joseph's a difficult time if not provide an upset... nearly did!

pitt's still in. ummm...g were u serious bout stanford? they lost yesterday. so did gonzaga

im totally lost . the whole contest setup is sloppy, but thats the ncaa's fault for giving me only 3 days to promote this thing

u guys gotta help me think up new rules

Are they gone? Sheesh! Connecticut then!
Cincy is gone... didn't think they'd get past Illinois... UAB will go next I think although that defense was nonstop... will probably throw a lot of teams off with that... Syracuse still in it? I don't even know who's left the sweet sixteen should be final now right?

UAB, Kansas -Kansas
Nevada, Georgia Tech -GT

Wake Forest, St. Joseph's -St. Joe's
Oklahoma St., Pitt -OS

Illinois, Duke -IL
Texas, Xavier -Tex

Syracuse, 'Bama -Syracuse
Connecticut, Vanderbilt -Uconn

right now its st joes or okla. st

Didn't St. Joe's get whooped by an unranked team just prior to the Big Dance? Washington wasn't it? Oklahoma St. will beat them I think...

by xavier. who also happens to be in the sweet 16. btw, in st joes conference, xavier was something like 22-11, and they were the 4th place team in the conference tourney

Ah yes... I remember Xavier being rather tough back in the early 90's... Ball State and Rick Majerus... that's midwestern basketball territory over there Hoosiers!, Ohio, Kentucky... used to be Bobby Knight... dangerous cinderella's and such... Speaking of ...See the 'Bama game?! knockin' off Syracuse rather handily.
