Who do you guys have in your elite eight final four championship game and NCAA champion positions?

I chose k.y. to meet duke, mich st to meet marquette, ohio st to meet vandy and n carolina to meet G. town.
I have ky besting duke in a tough game and mich st taking out marquette for a ky vs mich st FF game and ohio beating vandy and N. carolina getting passed G.town for a N carolina vs Ohio st FF game.
I picked KY over mich st and N carolina over ohio st for a KY vs N. carolina championship game.
Its a pick em game as are alot of the games this year but Im going with k.y. because I am a ky fan and because we beat N carolina this year although it was a squeaker.
What say you masses?

Noone will share their bracket? No comments on this topic at all? There are no ball fans on seibertron?
Noone wants to talk about history being made with two number two seed teams falling in the same day when there had been only four number two seed teams loose the first round to fifteen seed teams in the history of the tournament prior to last nights unbelievable losses?
Noone is interested in this subject?......... :-(

I don't care about basketball that much, pro or college. I followed the NCAA a little until Texas got beat yesterday. Now I have no emotional stake in it whatsoever.

LOL. Are you a long horn? I had texas loosing in my bracket but I thought it could go either way.
As I said before though duke and missou loosing to fifteen seeds was historical as far as the NCAA tourney is concerned.
There had only been four teams with a two seed bit in the tourney that got put out by their fifteen seed opponents in the history of the tournament.
So for it to happen again and then twice in one night was unbelievable. Alot of folks are going to be throwing their brackets away after that.
Missou was bitching about how they should have gotten a number one seed bit too. LOL!!
Also syracuse damn near lost the first round too! That would have been the very first time in the history of the tourney that a number one seed lost to a number sixteen seed. Syracuse's forward could not maintain a c average and was dubed ineledgable to play in the tourney though and that is why they almost lost. They will not go as far as they should have gone now due to the loss of their 7 ft star player.
This ofcourse is all good news for my team and home state kentucky who are the over all favorites to win the whole tourney with an over all number one seed.
GO BIG BLUE!!!! :grin:

I've watched Basketball all weekend so far, and will probably watch it all day today. I've got UK vs Michigan State and Ohio State vs UNC. I've got UK winning it all vs UNC.

Yesterday was crazy as far as talking about upsets! Ohio U, Lehigh, Norfolk State, and Xavier all surprised me! They also screwed up my bracket!

I have the same in my final four as well as unc vs ky in final game.
I actually had ohio over mich and perdue to advance as well as unc state. I did fumble with w.virginia. I had them advancing to round three.
Im not sure what to do with syracuse though. Without their forward they didnt look too hot earlier this and since he is outta the tourney where do they fall? I have them loosing to vanderbilt. Yes I have vandy going that far. :grin:

I have them loosing the next round though.
