    Coming from the person in last place in the JC Bracket challenge..

    I think MSU beats Duke. Duke had zero points from their shallow bench against the Zags, and showed vulnerabilities against Notre Dame in the ACC Tournament that, given a week, Tom Izzo can pick apart.

    I think UK beat Wisconsin, but it will be another close one. And then I think UK will blow the doors off of MSU's cinderella run, but we'll all still praise the great Izzo and his men for making an incredible, unlikely run to the Final Four.

    Also, this is my favorite commercial of the tournament:

    I think you can still win if Wisconsin does. Points are weighted at the end.

    I don't think there's any combination of Kentucky winning at this point that doesn't have me winning.

    If MSU beats Duke, Inty can beat you on a tiebreak.

    Really? I had him on all previous tiebreaks, so didn't think that would push him over.

    The score of the final is the first tiebreak.

    False. Horsey has Duke winning their Final Four game, and you have Villanova -- so Duke wins and Wisc. wins, she beats you, sucka!

    Tennessee looks like they're ready to pounce on Rick Barnes - even though he's got the reputation for choking in the tournament, he's one of the 5 best recruiters in the nation (Durant being the gem), and will likely elevate that Vols program well past their previous high-water mark with Bruce Pearl.

    The SEC is apparently trying to get good at basketball. If Alabama can pull off their coup, watch out.

    Another pretty easy win for Duke.....I'm feeling pretty good about their chances to take out the winner of this next game!

    That was one of the worst officiated games I've seen this tourney (and that says something) but even so, UK basically gave the game away with some stupid hero-balling in the last 6:00 of the game for... no real good reason. Whether that was Coach Cal's doing or whether the players just got overconfident, congrats to Wisconsin for moving on and I hope they lose 100 - 6 to Duke. :)

    I imagine 95% of the world will be pulling for Wisconsin. Maybe 96%.

    Between UK/Notre Dame and UK/Wisconsin, I think we saw 2 of the best 10 tournament games of the last 30 years in this tournament.

    For real....there was about a 5 minute stretch where I think every call the officials made was the wrong one.

    Should be a great title game! I'm going with Duke by 5 :)
