Brackets are out. Interesting matchups. Indiana against Wichita State in the second round will be an interesting matchup. Florida vs Missouri in the second round will be interesting as well, which ever team is hitting the outside jumper should win that one. Kansas vs St. Mary's will be a great one as well, there are tons of great second round matchups. Hard to get a feeling for the Final Four at this point. Kentucky certianly looks like they should be in the Final Four, however, a potential sweet 16 matchup with Wichita State does not work in their favor. Missouri has their best chance to make the Final Four this year. If they can get past Florida in Omaha (which they easily should) then they have to deal with Marquette, Murray State, or Michigan State. None of those teams really matches up well against Missouri. North Carolina and Kansas in the elite 8 will have a great feel with great story lines to it, not sure if KU can beat this North Carolina team though, hard to pick against North Carolina in the Final Four. Syracuse is the toughest one to pick. I want to say they will flame out early, but they just seem to find ways to win every game. Kansas State, Ohio State, and Florida State will present the best challenges to Syracuse. Not sure if any of those teams has what it takes to win against Syracuse. As of right now I am going with Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina and Syracuse as my Final Four. With North Carolina and Kentucky playing in the championship game leading to Kentucky's eighth national title.

Amendial can type his posts however he wants with his missing pinky finger! 
Well, I am feeling generous mostly because he says he picked Mizzou to the final four.. He must be suffering some form of latent gangreen making him delusional or something. Poor guy. 
Actually, my first thought was anger at being seeded behind ku and not getting the St Louis region. However, as I look at it, there are no bad matchups for Mizzou in the west regional except Michigan State. While being offensively challenged, they do play a version of basketball similar to K-State.

I guess I forget that my new monitor makes things look much more spread out than they do on other monitors. I have a 25 inch widescreen. It doesnt look like such a wall of text when it is on my monitor.

Some predictons for the opening weekend of basketball. Syracuse will not make it to next weekend, no Fab Melo means no chance. A number two seed will lose in the round of 32, Duke is the most likely, but KU has a tough second round matchup against St. Mary's, I expect that game to be very close and wont be surprised to find St. Marys in the sweet sixteen. Mizzou could find itself in serious trouble if Florida is hitting shots in the second round, both those teams are mirror images of each other, but Missouri is more consistent. Expect tons of upsets this weekend, mostly today and early tomorrow.

My bracket is completely busted right now. Already lost one maybe two sweet sixteen teams. Cannot believe VCU won, I really dislike Shaka Smart right now.

You have not given me too much crap over the years Juzam, so I wont hit you too hard with revenge about what happened today. I dont feel a bit of pity for Mizzou after today though. My facebook and cellphone was blown up the past two years with insulting text from Mizzou fans about VCU and UNI, well Mizzou is learning that what goes around comes around and today it just came around for Mizzou. A few Norfolk State images will come coming sometime soon, even if KU happens to lose to Detroit tonight like some neutral people are predicting.
Actually in all seriousness, I do feel a bit of sympathy for you I guess. I mean I have been against the basketball set up for many years because of the crap shoot that is March Madness. In a double elimination format MU would still be a Final Four team. Now you know how it feels to be completely blindsided by a nobody when you know with every fiber of your body that you are going to make the Final Four.
Edit: Oh and just for you paragraph fools I have used the "enter" key for you. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!

All in all it was a good day. Upset that my second tier schools Wichita State and Michigan played their way out of the tournament, but I am still sitting ok in the bracket competition. A little surprised at the number of second day upsets. Normally you see several upsets on Thursday and a few early on Friday and then it fizzles out in the first round. It was almost completely opposite this time, with almost no upsets Thursday and a plethora of upsets today. Two number two seeds falling in the same day within hours of each other was crazy. It has happened four times in over twenty years heading into the tournament and it happened twice within hours today.
Duke losing early was expected, I said they were the favorite two seed to lose this weekend. Mizzou was a legitimate surprise, I really did think they were an elite eight lock and a great Final Four pick. Completely stunned by the Mizzou loss, but it was a very enjoyable surprise. Syracuse will lose to K-State tomorrow, take that to the bank and cash it now. Syracuse is done. North Carolina is a sure bet to play a week from Sunday, take that to the bank as well. Kentucky-Iowa State might be the one surprise of the day, dont count Iowa State out in that game. Kansas-Purdue is going to be a very interesting game. Expect Kansas to win that game, but Purdue will put up a fight and it should be a tight game. Ohio State and Michigan State will cake walk into next weekend.

Pretty crazy that Ohio has four teams in the sweet sixteen. I still only believe that Ohio State will make the Final Four of all the Ohio teams. Good mix of chalk and upsets this past weekend. Going to be a fun second weekend of basketball, I am excited to watch the second weekend of games.

I wish the KU-UNC game was today. I need Ohio State to beat Syracuse for the bracket competition, but I would much rather have KU matchup with Syracuse in the Final Four than I would have them matchup with Ohio State. Dont know who to root for in this Ohio State-Syracuse game. Really upset that I changed my mind on Louisville beating Mizzou at the last second in the bracket competition. I really had a feeling Louisville might make a run to the Final Four, but just didnt think they could beat Mizzou. Will be an interesting couple of days, bracket competition is still wide open right now.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, my bracket is so screwed right now, but I dont even care. KU is in the Final Four, wow what a season. What a way to put VCU and UNI in the past by doing the improbable this season. Rock Chalk Jayhawk, KU! We still have one more pair of nets to cut down, lets bring home the Championship! Missouri out in the first game to a 15 seed, and KU on to the Final Four, this is about as great of a March as anyone could ever wish for. Its going to be an exciting week of classes next week.

Just got a student ticket to the Final Four, I am going to New Orleans this weekend! I am so pumped up, man I will completely lose it if KU wins the National Title while I am there to watch it in person, I cannot wait for this weekend. Still think Kentucky has to be the favorite to win it all at this point, but any of the three teams remaining can make a good game out of it, and it wont surprise me one bit to see Ohio State, Kansas, or Louisville walk out of New Orleans with a national title.

Its going to be an exciting game. On paper Kentucky should dominate this game. They are definitely more athletic than we are, they have the POY on their roster with a plethora of NBA draft picks playing for them tonight. I was in New Orleans for the game on Saturday and I can say that about 60-70 percent of that arena is filled with Kentucky fans. Everything tonight supports a Kentucky victory, but for some reason - perhaps its the fact I am a KU student - I just got a feeling deep in my gut that Kansas is going to win it tonight. Its the same feeling I had at halftime on Saturday, even down by nine I just knew deep in my core this team would pull it off. Hopefully it will be a great game, but win or lose I will not be disappointed in my Jayhawks who did what very few people outside the city of Lawrence thought they could do (including myself).

The Jayhawks were the 5th ranked team in the entire tournament. So it wasn't that unexpected.
Game will come down to who mistakes imo.

The more talented team won this game period. Not upset one bit with how this season went. There were many who picked us in the bottom half of the Big 12 at the start of the season, and some who thought this team may not even make the NCAA tournament before the season started. What a great season by the Jayhawks, we will be playing the last weekend next year. Everyone except Taylor and possibly Robinson will be back and we will be adding McLemore, Ellis, Traylor, Peters, ect. Going to be a great year next year, heres to hoping that Robinson pulls a Hansbrough and comes back to finish the job next year. Rock Chalk Jayhawk, KU!

Also grats on winning the bracket competition Liquid. My last second change of taking UNC over Kentucky ended up screwing me over. Should have stayed with Kentucky and I would have dominated the bracket comp.

TThere were many who picked us in the bottom half of the Big 12 at the start of the season, and some who thought this team may not even make the NCAA tournament before the season started.
Nobody picked ku lower than 3rd in the Big 12 and 80% of the pundits had them picked to win the league. Additionally they were ranked top 15 in the nation in every preseason poll. There is no way that anyone was seriously talking about them barely making the tournament.
You can talk about this being Self's least talented team ever but he still had 6 top 100 kids playing this year which gave him by far the most talented team in the league. The closest would be Baylor, after them, I do not believe any other team had more than 1 top 100 kid. Just because he only had 6 super talented players instead of his normal 10 doesn't make it a surprise that they won a lot of games. 
But having said that, you guys still had a good season, did what you were supposed to do and represented the Big 12 well in the tourney. Congrats
