    Well my yearly BIG 10 NCAA tournament debacle has begun. 
    5 games today with BIG 10 teams? OH OH

    Anyway so far so good! 
    I had #11 Michigan advancing to the Sweet 16. CHA CHING! 
    I had Illinois losing today. CHA CHING! 

    I have a bracket here that is in the 96 percentile. Doing better than over 16 million folks. 
    Yet that bracket will die a slow death, as I had Kentucky to win it all. 
    Im still looking good. I had Ohio State losing. 
    Now lets see If Michigan State can beat Duke. 
    Take me piece by piece.....
    Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....

    Last night I watched St. Peters/Murray State with some friends. Their daughter is going to college at Murray State. The poor girl was so BUMMED that her team lost. It was fun to watch though because the young lady knew her basketball. She would scream at the TV and call the players by their 1st names. Then the poor girl was devastated. awww

    I'm enjoying the St. Peter's run because years ago I worked in Jersey City at a job I really enjoyed, so I have a familiarity with the area.

    so much for Gonzaga winning it. they've been a #1 seed five times now and never won the whole thing. How about St. Peter's though?

    Highly doubt anyone had this as their elite eight picks.

    Glad to see Coach K bringing another Duke team to the Final Four. Breaks Wooden's record for appearances. Loved Duke since '91.

    I have those 3 picks in my final four in my bracket with very few others in my pool. If Duke wins in the final against Kansas I'll win over 3 grand.

    Edit: It's physically painful for me to root for Duke

    Going to be one hell of a game. Love it. This final four has the legends and the new dominator in Nova. Could be an epic weekend.

    So no way I have Duke and UNC in my final four, lol.  I had Duke out the 2nd round.  No way I had them making a run like this.

    St Peters was fun until they forgot how to shoot and the whole team caught that cold.

    Miami University making a run?  Didn't see that one either.

    Gonzaga is an absolute let down,  Gawdammit TIMME!!!

    Baylor and Kentucky both taking early exits in the same conference?

    Seeing Duke and UNC is usually a great game but UNC has been iffy all year.  Winner on the KU/Nova game should win the Tourney.

    Both nova and Duke fans in the same city for the Final 4.  I’m not sure even New Orleans has seen that level on arrogance, douche baggery and general assholeishness in the same place at the same time 😎

    I just can't believe UNC and Duke have never met in the tourney. Crazy.

    If Duke wins against UNC we have a rematch of Duke and Coach K's first national title 31 years ago. UNC has been controlling the 2nd half though. Duke needs to turn things around.

    Duke choked that one away. Horrible at the line and outplayed on the inside with poor outside shooting to seal the loss. Didn't have it.

    Great game.  How amazing for Carolina fans to beat coach k’s ass in his last home game and last game in a Final 4.  Duke and nova both losing in the same night works for me
