Yeah, I was cheering like crazy for Bucknell to beat Kansas. That was their 1st (ever) NCAA tournament victory. Sometimes I just like cheering for the underdog. :)

I saw the Bucknell and Kansas game too. Exciting game. Kansas had a chance to win too.

Too bad for Scot Pollard and Tag's team...

i like rooting for the underdog as well... i got a bunch of money picking the red sox in the series, if that backs up that statement... but i deffinetly wasnt rooting for Bucknell, and especially not Vermont... I had Kansas in the Elite 8 and Syracuse in the Final Four... :) lol... happy for those teams, but i sure would have liked to NOT have 'cuse lose

I have 2 major upsets picked in the 2nd round.

In the Albuquerque bracket I have Pacific taking out the #1 seed, Washington. Okay, I admit this one is emotional only.

In the Syracuse bracket I think that Iowa St will beat the #1 seed, North Carolina. Iowa St has been playing some really good ball. NC has been okay, but not that great. Also, I am sick of the media gushing over NC.


BTW - In the 1st round of 33 games (including the Oakland/Alabama A&M), I am 27-6 with my picks.

Yep! UConn lose to NC State.
I have a friend that's a UConn fan and she's very upset right now.

Hmm, so you're rooting for Illinois, the once-defeated team, and for the underdogs...

I smell an ulterior motive :)

LOL---that is a good point.

Seriously, it was really something to see those kids, not only play in their first NCAA tournament, but to actually knock off a much higher seed.

As far as Illinois goes, been a fan for years. Of course living about 65 miles away from U of I, and having several relatives who are alumni, might have a little something to do with that.

I'm rooting for Duke. J.J. Reddick is one of the best shooters I've seen in a long time (besides peja). Normally I'd be rooting for Maryland but they're Not In Tournament.

My Fighting Illini (and sloter's ;) ) are moving on to the Elite 8. They lead by 14 with 38sec left. All 5 starters in double figures. Final 77-63.

GO ILLINOIS!!

#1 Duke lose vs Mich St.

Thanks for the info, Twix. So 2 of the #1's will not make it to the Elite 8, much less the Final Four.

Now, I wait to see what NC can do against Villanova.

WOW surprised to hear about Duke, I heard the start on the radio and thought they had that game in hand.

6th FYI, although I am a ILLINOIS hater in general (I mean anything that has to do with Illinois : ) I am pulling for your team. Gotta keep it in the Big Ten. It will be nice to see Illinois win it this year so then the Big Ten gets 2 championships in a row (cause next year the Hoosiers are gonna take it)

(I hate Michigan as a state even more so I hope Mstate goes down)

LOL....thanks for the support. However, I am a little confused. If you are a Hoosier, and we are neighbors, why the hate for Illinois? I love the Hoosiers, just not as much as the Fighting Illini. I am guessing it is the Big 10 rivalry. I don't let that get in the way of my neighborliness.
