I wouldn't count DTB out just yet. She's dominated every round so far.

Using your selection criteria; namely, sentimental value and which names sounded good. I, too, took approximately 5 minutes to fill out the sheet.

I guess it's lucky that my sentimental favorites are number one seeds this year.

North carolina is a sentimental favorite?

Whatever method she used has worked so far. And if UConn beats Mich. State, you and I are SOL and she coasts to victory.

I am SOL, unless you resign. as to UC/MSU in general MSU does well when Izzo has 5 days to prepare. what is the early line?

Yes - a family friend played for the team in the early 90s.

The early line? Perhaps you missed that I don't follow college basketball. That I have any teams left at all in my bracket, much less all final four is pure dumb luck.

Strangely enough, in my money pool, I was still alive after having Syracuse completely choke. Picked 15 of 16 and 7 of 8. Well, I was alive until Pitt decided it didn't like free throws (JESUS) and Louisville got stomped by the Spartans. I love Pitino's press conferences after every tourney loss. "Well, they handled the press well and it turned into a half court game and we just couldn't get out and run, like we like to do." Yeah, jackass. Practice some half court sets every once in awhile and maybe it becomes a bit harder to beat your team. I don't know why they didn't go to a man once MSU went up 9 in the second half.

Still have a chance to tie for third! Sorry, Hank, but let's go UConn and UNC!

You guys are going to have to shoot out of your minds, because you're going to score roughly 4 points in the paint. Thabeet won't be guarding Suton, who would bring him as far away from the basket as he could. He'll be on someone else, will remain down low and will dare whoever he's guarding to hit the jumper. And it ain't just Thabeet. Robinson and Adrien play some great defense.

If Izzo wins this game, I'll be very impressed.

dtb, Fugee, don't you realize what Hank is doing here? He's trying to initiate a good old fashioned cat fight. Come on. Talk some trash. Mix it up. See who knows how to randomly pick b-ball teams better. Whose intuition, almae materi, and family friends are superior? No more of this nicey-nicey, she's dominated, she's da bomb, bs.

Winner gets to be Hank's internet trophy wife.
