March madness

[gman2304]

I'll go ahead and get this out of the way...I've been a Duke fan since I was 12 years old

. I'm hoping coach K will get his 6th national championship in this years NCAA tournament. ABC fan really....Anybody But Carolina! I also realize there's a lot of Dookie haters out there. Who are you rooting for?

 

[Leo99]

Rooting for Gonzaga. That Zion guy is a force!

 

[greenjp]

Villanova, class of '99. The last few years have been great, not expecting a deep run this year but who knows.

 

[ZraHamilton]

Tennessee, but we may have to beat Kentucky/ Tar Heels, Virginia, and Duke to win it.

 

[Revving2Redline]

Wichita State not in it so I will cheer for all 63 teams and especially the one that beats KU.

 

[mjk]

Badgers, but it is a pipe dream. Hoping they make Sweet 16. Their offensive lapses were tough to watch this year.

 

[Vuflanovsky]

St. Mary's over Villanova on Thursday...a replay of 2010. Unfortunately, I don't think the Gaels have the same caliber team but it's pegged at a 50/50 toss up.

No expectations beyond the first or second rounds even if they did beat Gonzaga late in the year.

 

[JLTD]

Well, West Virginia didn't make it into the tournament this year, so...

Second choice either the Montana Grizzlies or maybe Wofford. I tend to root for the underdogs.

 

[slug_bug]

Michigan State. Go Green!

OP:

Walk away from the dark side. Dark blue bad......Carolina blue good.... ABD

Just messing with you dude. The ACC semi last week may be a preview of coming attractions. I think Duke & Carolina have their best shot of both making it to the FF than in quite a few years.

But man....duke?

Actually I'm an NC State fan here. Son is a freshman @ NCSU. They should have made the tournament but a loss to W Forest and G Tech said otherwise. But 5 of their 9 ACC losses were to NCAA #1 seeds. Good new is Coach Keatts seems to be building NC State back into a respectable ACC team. He just has a little more work to do.

 

[dnewton3]

Rooting for my Boilermakers (an admitted pipe dream).
I always cheer on any team from the Big10 in the Dance; like to see the conference do well.

 

[JustN89]

I'm rooting for whatever team is playing Oklahoma. I grew up an Oklahoma State fan and attended school there, so my dislike for OU runs deep. Unfortunately, OSU had a really poor season after dismissing 3 players before the season began, leaving them just 6 scholarship players all year. Hopefully they bounce back next year. I miss the days when OSU had a dominant basketball program.

 

[DriveHard]

If the Cyclones play like they did in the Big 12 Championship, they could go far! GO CLONES!

 

[vwmaniaman]

Well I'm for Kentucky or Murray State.

 

[bullwinkle]

Unless Zion has another blowout, Duke is the team to beat. Hoping Virginia does it's regular tournament faceplant, UC somehow gets by Tennessee, can muscle into the Final Four! I know, I'm dreaming!

No accounting for taste. However, with no less than three first round draft picks in the starting line up, Dook should win it all. Anything less will be a FAIL for the University of NJ at Durham.

Not really pulling for anyone, like to see close games. That said, wouldn't be upset if the team ~10 miles south on 15/501 from Dook won it.

A number 1 seed UVA is down by 12 early to 16 seed Gardner Webb! 16 seed UMBC sent the Cavs home early last year, the first time in NCAA tournament history A number one seed had lost to a 16 seed. Dejavu all over again?

 

[Vuflanovsky]

St. Marys is out...and rooting for Gonzaga is conference heresy...

Going with a true underdog to keep it interesting...Liberty.

 

[SatinSilver]

Well my team is out already, Cincinnati. Trying to find a new team to root for now. As mentioned WVU didn't make it in nor did Xavier.

Virginia wakes up and does what it should have done... Win by 15.... A 29 point turn around...

One may well remember Virginia ranked #1 with Ralph Sampson by the way lost to a division 3 college called Chaminade.... Now after last year Uva owns the two biggest upsets in college basketball history.
