I have Ohio State through to the Elite 8 but I would have loved to see them go out tonight simply because I'm not sold Texas A&M will be able to take them (and that's who I picked to win in the Elite 8 and head on to the Final Four).

Yeah, almost exactly the reason I was cheering for Xavier (I picked Memphis rather than Texas A&M). At this point, I'll be cheering against all four #1 seeds in every single game they play.

Jeez, Maryland, Xavier, and now Louisville all with dreadful decisions in the last minute to lose their games.

Me too, but right now I'm more concerned about my tournament champion pick Georgetown losing to Boston College at half-time.

Yep, I have Georgetown through to the final game so I'm out if they lose. I have a feeling they'll come back though, they're a damn good team.

Georgetown-BC is now tied, I have a feeling Georgetown will end up winning by 10+.

Margins of victory in games today: 3, 7 (in OT), 7, 4 (in double OT), 3, 5 (in OT). One of the most entertaining days of tournament basketball I've ever watched.

Yep, this was one of the best days in recent memory. Even the North Carolina-Michigan State game is close through the first 10 minutes.

Fracking Washington State. I should have known, from cheering for Gonzaga, that Spokane area teams always screw up my brackets.

Lol this pickem pool is done for me. My other one on CBS sportsline isn't doing too bad, I knew I should have kept my picks. :/

I don't know who is doing commentary for the Indiana - UCLA game, but I am absolutely sick of hearing the phrase 'charity strip'.

Who is the person in first place who literally only picked one upset in the entire tournament?

I had Xavier upsetting Ohio State and going on a nice little run, so much for that.

Yeah, I was noticing that, too. Who is that? I think technically they picked two upsets: Oregon over Wisconsin and Xavier over BYU.

Bleh, Virginia would have easily won if stupid Reynolds didn't get hurt.

On the plus side, my upset pick of UNLV over Wisconsin is looking good right now. I thought long and hard about picking UNLV straight through to the Elite 8 but I figured Oregon would end up beating them.

The Virginia teams have all been messing with my bracket this weekend. I had Old Dominion beating Southern Illinois in the first round and then falling to Virginia Tech in the second round but that hasn't happened. Virginia Tech is hanging around today but it looks like Southern Illinois is going to win.

Looks like Texas' lack of depth might finally catch up with them... absolutely nothing from anyone on the team today other than Durant and Abrams. This is actually one of the biggest surprises of the tournament for me thus far. I really didn't see USC going on a run after they got crushed by Oregon in the Pac 10 tournament.

USC has been good all year, and in a very tough conference. Its showing now with the Pac-10 record so far.

Im not all that surprised actually.

The ACC though? Thats another story...ONE team left of 7 that got in.
