Who's in?
Although I'm rooting for UCLA, my bracket came out with Michigan State winning. Interesting to note that I had 3 Big Ten teams in my Final 4: Michigan State, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Florida. Kinda whack, but that's how my bracket played out.
What about you?

Damn, I have been meaning to ask you all season sayne how Steve Alford is doing at UCLA? You guys are in the Dance! I can see their record but do people like him or hate him?
I am distraught. I.U. is not only not in the NCAA Tourney but didn't get in the NIT! We had raw talent but talent nonetheless. The Hoosier Nation is getting put-off on Coach Tom Crean especially how we petered out last year right at tourney time after being #1 for large parts of the season last year.
I hope you win the billion dollars for a perfect pick. I didn't play.
Wisconsin will flop in the tourney maybe at Elite 8 if they are lucky. Michigan State is coming on strong and Michigan can be unbeatable when the want to be, do they want to be so now? Florida is a great pick by you.

Michigan State is coming on strong and Michigan can be unbeatable when the want to be, do they want to be so now? Florida is a great pick by you. As one of the elite programs in college basketball, Indiana should never NOT be in the tournament. I feel your pain. And, to not get into the NIT? Ouch. Now, I heard on Sports Talk radio some criticism of the Hoosiers for not accepting an invite to the College Basketball Invitational. The reason? Indiana talking high and mighty by saying, "Indiana does not play the CBI." They sounded so arrogant. Also, there is the idea that any extra games you can have your players play only helps you in the future. Westwood has been very patient with Alford. He started rough with a tough press conference. He's gotten some blowback for the number of minutes he's given his son. But, he's beaten 'SC (always good), beat Arizona, and won the conference championship. But, his team has lost every second game of a 2 game away series (each time to a lesser team). I think if he gets to the Sweet 16, people will be fine with him. If the Bruins go 1 and done, his head will be on the block. I have them getting to the Sweet 16, then losing to Florida - again, which has happened 3 times in the last 6 Bruin appearances in the tourney.
