Bedlam sweep for the Cowboys!!! Started conference play with 6 straight losses and after today's win we are 7-7 in conference play. Exciting game.
 
Another big game tonight for my Gators. Hopefully we don't let them get the regular season sweep. South Carolina that is. Hopefully the O-dome is rocking!

My Gators looked pretty good in the second half. Sucks we lost our big man 2 games ago :( I think we had a shot to go to the sweet 16 or so before we lost him because we were so balanced. We are still a very balanced team but without that big body down low, I fear we can't hang with some of the bigger teams out there.
 
Well we lost to Kentucky but at least it wasn't a blow out!

I think we're I'm the tournament for a change! I'd given them up as roadkill multiple times this year too.

Looks like the Illini blew their chance for the tournament with their loss to Rutgers this weekend. There only chance will be to make a deep run into the Big 10 tournament which I find highly doubtful. I shouldn't get to worked up I guess. They were probably a one and done tournament team anyway. I think it is time for Groce to find a new job.
 
Who you got? I'm leaning UCLA or UNC but my bracket came out with UCLA. Just haven't watched enough games this year, just my team :)

What about your Gators??? I filled out a bracket and just let it go where it would. I have three grandsons in Chapel Hill so I will root for UNC but they have shown that their 3 poilnters sometimes do not fall. I have them getting beat, and the bracket lead me to KY vs DUKE. My grandsons will not let me like Duke so I and with KY, who (as a gator fan would know) can be beat!

Here is my youngest grandson in Chapel Hill.

He is 18 months old now and calls the game "Babuball" So that is the name of my bracket and with that I cannot go wrong!

Having spent a few years working in the RTP area, I've been to a few UNC and NCstate games. Been inside the Duke church (that's what it looks like to me on the outside) and even dunked a solo cup on the court (couldn't find a ball laying around). My sister was in Chapel Hill for a while as well while her husband finished up medical school.
 
My bracket get filled out by emotion instead of cognitive reasoning.
Basically I automatically take KU to the finals and fill in the rest with Big 12 teams. This way I'm never torn between a team I "want" to win, and a team that helps my bracket. And of course it's bad juju to pick your favorite team to loose (even if you think that's what's going to happen)! I don't always win the pool but I sure have fun.
