March madness thread.

And to think my hometown Vanderbilt team beat Florida three times this season. Just crazy.

Now, SEC teams have to start playing each other in the Elite Eight. Hmmmm, funny that the ACC doesn't have that problem (& didn't have that problem even going into the sweet sixteen).

My wife and I are Gator grads. This game was frustrating, but in the end they found a way. Great game by Wisconsin but go Gators

now the bed

I went to bed during that stretch where it seemed UF was doing everything they could to not win.

Glad to see it worked out.

Tired of how much the talking heads think of their own opinions all year.

Damn that little Macura kid is good. This is shaping up to be a good game. First time to the Final Four for both teams on the line.

Go Zags!

Two down.

Gonzaga and Oregon in the Final Four. West coast is representin'.

Hard to believe Kansas fell hard. They just couldn't sink a shot tonight.

Exciting times!

Was hoping against hope for a Oregon v Oregon State championship game on the women's side.

Now I'll look for Gonzaga v Oregon!

I was surprised that NC had that hard of a time with Oregon who played like crap tonight (not what I was expecting).

Should be a good match-up for Monday though, but that trophy is headed to Spokane.

I was wondering just how long the SC game cocks (mens) could keep it up, they had a good run.
But at least the women are still in it.

I hope you are right. If so this town will go nuts.
If Williams-Goss and Karnowski are on their game, NC will be toast.

wished SC could have pulled it off. I hate NC only slightly less than Duke - so go Zags!

I will at least enjoy the women's final tonight. Go Cocks.

They gave it a hell of a go. They are one scrappy team, and certainly better than their 7 seed.

And I agree Jim, it'll be madness over there if (when

) they win.

Win or loose, the Zags have given us a lot to be proud of. What a year!!

Go Zags!

It will be amazing if a tiny Jesuit college from the very conservative inland-northwest, can win a national title. Truly amazing.
