    Still cant beleive that Duke got demolished either. I fell asleep, was the game closer than the score indicated???
    It was really a tale of two halves. Duke played their usual consistent game in the first half keeping a lead from 5-10 points most of the way. Think they led by 6 at the half. After halftime Arizona played like gangbusters. After trading baskets on a couple of possessions right after the half, the 'Cats went on a 19-2 run and never looked back. I thought Arizona could have pushed the lead to about 25 or so, but they took their foot off the gas pedal closer to the end of the game.

    Bye Bye Buckeyes, HA HAHAHAHA! Love to see THE OVERRATED State University lose!! Still upset that my Badgers played like shit, and although it doesn't heal all the wounds seeing the hated buckeys lose is a nice consolation prize.

    I'm very glad to see the defending champs Duke gone from the tournament. Now that Arizona and Florida are also gone I'd love to see Butler take the title. Their coach looks like he's one of the players....so Go BUTLER.

    Unless you have a dog still in the fight or can win a bunch of money on someone left you have to be rooting for Butler or VCU. GO UNDERDOGS!!!

    VCU??????


    Unreal. That might be the biggest upset in college basketball history. Considering Kansas was one of the top 2 teams all year, and VCU had to play in a play in game. What's the highest seed ever to knock off a 1 seed? I don't remember a 12 seed ever doing it. G Mason was a 11 and they beat UCONN in the elite 8, but I don't remember what seed UCONN was that year.

    You just have to root for those underdogs. As much as I like Butler I think I'll root for an even further out underdog in VCU. I've visited that campus in Richmond and you just gotta love what they have done so far.

    GO VCU!

    Please don't remind me of George Mason. UConn was a 1 seed in the tournament and was #1 for sometime during the season.
