let me guess it's so important they're gonna do a similar dance next year?
jk, wish MM came was April Madness, that's the dead zone, not enough snow to snowmachine, river not open enough to run.
I could watch some games then, lucky to catch any right now, busy time of year.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

WVU is the trendy pick today to pull an upset.
I say hogwash, Kentucky by 20.

It'll be much closer than you think,ghost. WVU played them close last go-around.
WVU is physical and unintimidated. They also do not have the discipline Ky has, nor do they have a first 8 who'll go pro, like Kentucky has.
I'd love a WVU win but I'm thinking Kentucky pulls it out but in a closer game than you predict.

I don't like to make predictions. Any team left in the tournament has the ability to win it all. But I'll say this. This Kentucky team *really* doesn't expect to lose,..and when they turn it up, they're very tough.
Most people don't appreciate how tough that Cincinnati team was. It took everything they had to keep Kentucky in sight through the first half. Then Kentucky decided to win the game,..and it was over.
I've been living in Lexington through 4 Kentucky national championships and all of them were very good teams, of course. But I have to go all the way back to the 1978 Nat'l champs to find a team that could overpower an opponent like this one can. They have a lot in common as far as their mentality.
The 1978 team fumbled a couple of games during the season. This team hasn't, but it's come damn close a couple of times when it wasn't playing up to par.
But both the '78 team and this team was and is very deep,...and they both turn it up when it matters.
Kentucky will have to fall apart to lose a game from here on out,.. and they just seem much too poised at this point to just come apart during a game.
In any event, I hope they don't lay an egg before they get a chance to play Wisconsin. I want to see Kaminski play against Willie Cauley-Stein and Karl Towns,...not to mention Trey Lyles, Dakari Johnson, and Marcus Lee.

I love WV. Lots to do outdoors. Damn near lost my life in one of their many rivers in a kayak. River went from 3 to 8 feet in less than an hour.
Speaking of drugs....got some antibiotics today. They were 700 bucks without insurance. That's just obscene!!!!
Guess I'll root for KY and Wisconsin tonight! I can see the Domers and Arizona going down.

Notre Dame is a double handful.
They play very fast and under control.

What I wanna know is, where did Wisconsin get those big white boys who can dribble and shoot?

They play very fast and under control. Yup....They're the kind of unified team that will force big guys to come out and get 'em. And if a team can finish--like ND does--then speed can prevail.

Carolina is always tough. Watching a 6'9 white boy dribble down the court and take it to the hoop is uncanny.

They looked like a winner tonight. I haven't kept up with them very much. I hope they can't play like this every night. Somebody is gonna have to get a face in that point guard and rebound against their post man or it's gonna be a long night.

I'm actually rooting for Carolina, just don't tell anybody. I am impressed with Wisconsin tho, 6'9 centers who shoot 3 pointers like it's cool.
