Sounds like the wildest tournament in history, at least from what I can recall. I haven't watched a single game yet. I had zero interest this year for whatever reason.

Well, you've sure convinced me.
I'm assuming you're a Duke fan. Tell me, what impressive victories do Duke have this year? All I see is a team that has a record against "good" teams that is quite frankly poor for a #1. They've lost to GT, Maryland, GTown, Wisconsin and beaten GT(2), Clemson, Gonzaga. They take care of business against weaker teams, but they've hardly inspired against talented opposition have they?
yeah me too couldn't care less
I'm having trouble staying interested myself. The gap between the "top" teams and the lower seeds is lower this year than it has been for many years. It could make for some big upsets even further down the tournament than we've seen in many years, but it's hard to feel like the tournament is worth watching when the standard of play is worse than in previous years.
It did happen, I can't believe it
According to some guy on ESPN Radio, between Yahoo, CBS and ESPN bracket contests, 82.4% of all registered brackets have been "busted" by the first 3 days ALREADY, by definition.
I know mines fecked.

There weren't any perfect brackets by sometimes yesterday(friday), and Kansas losing...it's all over. The "experts" picks are completely destroyed.
Friend of mine has a bracket intact minus Villanova... fecking nutty
Doug Gottlieb and Hubert Davis picked Duke after doubting them. 
Before the UNC game, Hubert: UNC is going to dominate on the inside. After: Duke has a shot at the title.

I suppose I don't really need to follow the Midwest regional anymore considering I can no longer receive any points from there. My fate is now tied to Xavier's.
I'd love for a Duke-Cornell Final Four. The two best schools(Cal's out so they don't count) in the tournament face off for the Championship game. Besides, at least then UK won't lose a Final Four after violations.Congrats Dukies. I pretty much knew we were gonna lose if we didn't play the perfect game, and that was apparent about five minutes in.
I'll be rooting for Washington, St. Mary's, Cornell, and giant meteor the rest of the way.

Has anyone else seen how proud Kentucky fans are about beating Wake? They really think it's a big deal to beat a team that had no business in the tournament... So ignorant...
Ay but how bad as Kentucky been in the past five years since Tubby left?... They're more proud of the fact I think that they're one of the 16 best teams in the nation as opposed to the bridesmade... They are a powerhouse who have recruited poorly recently but now they're back to power the fans have a right to be proud.
I don't know how anyone can be "proud" of Calipari. It's only a matter of time before violations are discovered and a potential NCAA title is vacated. He's a scumbag but gets away with it.
How do you get two Final Fours vacated and still get one of the top jobs in the country? It's astounding.I'm in for Purdue but I can't see them getting past Duke.
and then there's always St Mary's. nice part of the world that is too. wanted to have our wedding there but we couldn't cos we weren't alums. feckers.

I'm hoping they win it so they have to hang the banner up in the Dean Dome. Hopefully, they'll have that and we'll have our own nice new banner to hang up in Cameron. At least that's what I've been hoping and praying for.Butler up 10 over Syracuse and keep jacking up 3s. FFS. They aren't going in! Cuse gets it down to 5. Butler goes inside and scores.
lolcuse.. Kansas State aren't up by that much against Xavier. Let's hope it's yet another upset.
I hope Duke lose tomorrow, they choke so much. They really should have won 5+ titles over the past 20 years compared to 3. I guess they did lose two close title games v Arkansas and UConn.
Kansas St and Xavier tied with less than a minute to go..
Rooting for Duke is like being a Liverpool fan, or Washington Redskins fan, or rooting for insurgents.
Terrible officiating gaf... Xaiver player was fouled well before the shot. Should never have gone to OT.
Considering I go to Duke..
That's even worse then hahhaa
Stunning game
Son of a bitch. This is going to kill my bracket worse than it's already been killed.
Xavier/K-State was unreal. Best match I've seen in years.
Shame on the ending, seemed like a selfish one but when you're not, you're hot
Why in feck is this blowout on when OSU-Tennessee is a dope as shit game
Goooo Devils go!
That game was a fist fight. We just kept hitting each other in the mouth til Purdue couldn't take it anymore. Very good defense by both teams.
Kansas State is out, the only two big teams left are Kentucky and WVU and only one of them is going to go through.
Our next game against Baylor is going to be extremely tough. They're a very athletic team so we have to be on top of our game. Scheyer needs to start draining 3s again if we are to win this year.

Jesus both teams are on fire 16-14 4.5 minutes in
Final Four baby!
Great win. I'm very happy right now, but now it's time to get ready for West Virginia.
Duke probably will win it, although I honestly think Izzo is as good a coach as Coach K
Izzo is a great coach. Coach K and Izzo can get the best out of teams no matter the talent level. My sophomore year, Duke had no seniors, 1 junior and no really outstanding players, but they made it to the tournament, which was an accomplishment for the team. You can't compare that team to 2001, 1991, 1992, or 1999. They have different personnel. Izzo's taken this team farther than they have the talent to go and it's very impressive.
A certain coach down the road doesn't have that ability.
