works fine now.

I'm debating if I'm going to pick with my heart or head...right now I'm all heart with a Kansas win but I may rethink that.

I love March Madness, only time of year I actually care about basketball.

I have a few "homer" picks for the first few rounds. Basically just hometown & teams/schools that I have friends attending (UW, Gonzaga, Arizona, Michigan).

After that I had to use my head, and if that failed use the old trick of if they generally have a good football program, their basketball can't be far behind.

I'll sign up but I can guarantee a loss. I always pick my team, well not always because they don't always make it. Last year I had them going all the way and they were out first round.

I am picking Clemson all the way. I can't go against my Tigers.

GO CLEMSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I might go to the first game of the NIT but I haven't bought a ticket yet. Too bad they are playing in Memorial Coliseum and not Rupp.
Yeah they already have some other activity scheduled at Rupp right?

Yeah it seems that the fans want Gillespie out..the same way they wanted Tubby Smith out a couple of years ago. UK fans to always be all over the coaches when it's not even their fault (sometimes it is, but not always). I agree Tubby was messed up because he recruited crappy. I love my husbands "TUCK FUBBY shirt" haha.

Yeah, the Kentucky High School Basketball tournament is in Rupp this week.

TUCK FUBBY that's good. Of course his team is in the tournament....

Someone else is a Utah fan. I didn't even put them to go all the way. They looked terrible last night and really need a point guard.

Yup but they lost...so are you all aboard the Western Kentucky bandwagon? Or is it Eastern Kentucky? I always forget..sorry! I know you are NOT going for Louisville.

I'd like to see Western Kentucky do well. They are definitely the team I'm cheering for, but I do not expect them to get that far. It's kind of funny. I actually have Louisville winning the tournament in my bracket.

Listening to the local radio stations a lot of people around here want Louisville to win. They think that Louisville is the best chance to beat NC. Kind of strange how so many UK fans are cheering for Louisville.

Yeah I guess the UK fans also hate the Tar Heels so they'd rather have Louisville win than Carolina win? Who knows? Doesn't look good for WK right now....I hope they make a comeback though.
