Yeah Baylor laid an egg in that one.  However, I felt that Baylor was overrated all season.

I'm amazed that South Carolina made it to the Final 8.  My wife told me that SC had never won an NCAA Tournament Mens BB game until this year.  I still find that hard to believe.

Brant - as a Gamechicken alum you have no idea how many bad gamechicken things that I can throw out there.  I've known tons of Clemson people for 35 years and I've seen it all.

With Kentucky winning I can't finish any lower than middle of the pack.

For those of you poor Sods that didn't stay-up to 1am this morning, you missed maybe the best BB game ending in history. Florida scores 3 to win at the buzzer beating Wisconsin by 1 point.  :bd:

There is only one correct answer to that statement

but yes, I did flip over from the US 6-0 thrashing of Honduras in time to catch the OT winner and can't believe that Wisconsin didn't put someone in front of him!

True enough. They only needed to throw him off stride or slow him down. The buzzer sounded with the ball in the air after his shot.  :o

One of my buddies at work picked Oregon to beat Kansas.  If the Heels win it all, he may show up on the ESPN top 50 leaderboard.   I'm a dead man walking in the office pool.

I want to thank OJsDad for making me feel better.  I know it was a big ask, but we're so proud of you for being up to the task.

It's still mathematically possible for Straight Chalk to finish on top of the heap.

Well Airboy is sitting in a much better position than I am for sure.  I need Gonzaga to win it all, since those are the only points I have remaining.  Should be an exciting final four finish next week end.
