I published a timely poll for this madness!
http://www.imdb.com/POLL/ls076516983/

I just saw it and placed my vote for Hoosiers. I was shocked to see it was only a close second.

Who'd you vote for?

Wichita State over Indiana.

I also have Notre Dame going to the Final Four. So their win today is welcomed.

I just voted. Went for the Hoosiers as well.

I figure that N.D. will face Kansas in round of 16. Not very confident about that outcome. 50-50 shot...but I'm leaning towards Kansas.

Oh my! 14 seed GA St...just knocked out 3 seed Baylor in the last seconds. Coach's son puts the dagger in, I think!

AGGH! I had Baylor going to the Elite 8! That royally bites!

I hear 'ya. Bracket-buster. I have AZ facing Baylor and knocking them out in the Round of 16.

UCLA and SMU will be a nail-biter...low-socring one-pt-er... at the half.

Ooooooh, UCLA won. Well, of course it did, I didn't fill out the bracket thingy this year, being busy figuring out my fantasy baseball draft order.

edit - I forgot to link the article I saw -

Go, Bruins!

Meantime, I may start to pay attention. Basketball memories are flying around in my brain.. I was very keen back in the sixties, being there when Wooden was coaching fabulously and the players were playing fabulously.

Ok, I'll pick Kentucky, not having read up on the teams.

They are turning into one of the stories of the tournament. Many people thought they were undeserving even of a place in the field, and they are well on their way to a second win. If they hang on today, they will likely play Gonzaga, which I'd say is a winnable game.

Go Bruins. They're leading 34-30 at the half.

Ok then, next!
