I am praying that Yale beats Duke as well. It may force coach K into retirement.

March Madness (much like the World Cup in soccer) is proof of a tournament that gets things right.

I'll be honest, I normally have little to no interest in college basketball or soccer, but when March Madness and the World Cup arrive, I suddenly become intrigued.

For me, I hope a 16th seed wins the whole thing.

I have a question: What is the lowest seed to ever win an NCAA basketball tournament championship?

the googles said that Villanova's win in 1985 was the lowest ranked win-they were an 8th seed

Wow 15th ranked Middle Tennessee beats the 2nd seed Michigan State. I believe that has only happened 7 or 8 times in the history of the NCAA tournament.

Yes. And thankfully I had picked that upset in my pool.

Looks like the mid-level college don't fear the bigs any more.

You know the Kentucky's of the world that have a team of freshmen that leave after one year never learn to play as a team or how to come back from adversity.Some of the other schools have imperfect players that stick together for 3 or 4 years and learn to play together and also mature.

I had MSU and WVU in the final 4.
This is why i hate filling out brackets. I always screw up.

Yeah that is why I never messed with picking brackets. I would think about the matchups too much, and do shitty, while some desperate housewife could do better by just closing her eyes and guessing.
