I forgot about that. VCU

Here is the #1 bracket right now. Genius?

That guy has to be a VCU student / graduate or something.

EDIT:

I also just want it to be known that if the University of Kentucky wins the NCAA championship with a team that everyone has said all year "pales in comparison" to last year's team and is an off year for Calipari's program...

I will probably drink an entire case of beer in celebration. Also, if they make it to the title game, I've already got plans to head to Lexington to watch it. My friend already has reservations, lol.

I dont normally watch a lot of college b-ball but I picked the right year this time. Outstanding play from every game ive watched. I really dont have a favorite team as far as b-ball in college. I guess whoever the underdog is is who ill root for. Which is almost the entirety of the teams that are left. Again im not completley up to par on all the different conferences and college darlings. But im glad to see Vcu and Butler make it. UConn was pretty entertaining to watch as well but their a pretty established team in college basketball from what I understand. As well is their opponent. Kimba Walker seems to have that nack for delivering during crunch time. Looking forward to the Finals.

I don't understand how that's even possible. Most years the top bracket will still have a pretty big mistake on it, but this guy's just murking his bracket in the most unpredictable year in recent memory.

When does the final 4 take place? Im ready to find out who the champs going to be?
Nevermind I see Butlers playing VCU tonight then Uconn after that

I really didnt have a preference in the VCU vs Butler game. It sucked that there had to be a loser cause both those schools shocked sports fans with their resiliency. Hats off to Butler for the win and to Vcu for making it as far as they did.

The Uconn game was intense to watch...ive been slowly becoming somewhat of a Kimba Walker fan. Guy is clutch and easy to root for...I dont know who to pull for in the final game. Butler's cinderella story or the electrifying play of Walker and the huskies.

Ill just keep updating my own convo lol. I see on Espns poll thst the nations taking Butler over Uconn by a small percentage but still. Im all for the underdogs pulling off victories, but I think im going to pull for Uconn. Again if Butler wins then kudo's to them as well. I just enjoy watching Kimba Walker play and hope he gets the championship.

Uconn just WON IT ALL!!!

I was so torn about who I wanted to win the championship. On the one hand, Jim Calhoun is a wonderful coach, and I generally like UCONN a lot. On the other hand, Brad Stevens has done great things very early in his coaching career, and he's really growing on me.

And then, of course, there was the matter of UCONN beating my 'Cats. Twice. So, holding a grudge as I am wont to do, I decided I wanted Butler to win it all - And though they didn't pull it off, I'm still not upset.

Kemba Walker is a hell of a player, and against UK, I was amazed to notice that when his shot's not falling he'll actually - gasp - pass the ball. Which is more than can be said for BYU's Jimmer.

So, I guess what I'm saying is that Kemba's less of a ball hog than the Jimmer, and I wish him all the best in the NBA. Kid's got talent.

Didnt realize he spelled his name "Kemba" as opposed to how i'd been spelling it. Oh well..lol.

Thom Yorke · 04-04-2011, 11:22 PM

I was rooting for Butler. Ah well. Much deserved by UCONN. You knew they were going to be tough to stop going into March Madness.

Bloozcrooz · 04-05-2011, 07:00 PM

Overall I wasnt impressed with the play from either side. Especially in the second half from Butler. Man they were just having an off night. Nothing to hang their heads about though making it to the championship two years in a row.

Now weve got the NBA finals to look forward to and then...meh. Its going to be a while before anything else exciting occurs with no football.
