Villanova? With Allen Ray playing with one eye? Me no thinks so.

Watch out for Michigan State. They're a dangerous team in the tourny. Duke and Kentucky found that out last year.

out of sheer lazyness at not wanting to check ESPN's site, who won the big 12 tourney?? I assume Texas, but you cannot count Kansas out..

Remember the Final 4 run last year?

MSU plays it's best in the NCAAs. For that matter, watch out for the Big 10.

UConn's very good. Too bad they ran into the hottest team on earth in the Big East Tourny...

Gonzaga is overrated, as always. They're the class of their conference, but their conference is lame. They had to rally in the 4th quarter and barely get by Loyola-Marymount. Gonzaga will disappont again. I'm from Washington, and I believe that. You wanna watch a team from my home state, you watch UW. The real Huskies have an outstanding coach, and while they likely won't win it all, they'll probably do better than those pretend Huskies out east (compare logos if you doubt my mockery).

Never count out Nevada. They're good for at least one upset.

Here's hoping. When they play well, the Pack playes very well. It's just that we have a remarkable tendancy to screw ourselves over at the last minute and a love for uglyball.

I'm a Pitt guy, but I'm hoping that Syracuse wins it all. I'm rooting for McNamara, because he's just that good.
