Who's your team in the tournament...

[Emboldened Chimp]

...and how well will they do?

Be honest.

UCONN's mine. I think they'll make it to the Final 8 where they'll get knocked off by UNC.

[Leilani]

1. Dukie till death

Honestly, they are weak this year; lots of injuries, no bench, inconsistent play.

I think they'll go a couple of rounds, due to coaching of K.

Doubt they will make Final 4.

[redirish28]

2. Pittsburgh, and if they get by Pacific then...

Pitt vs Washington in the 2nd round could be a great match.

[metisnation]

3. IL

THE GOT GAS TO GO ALL THE WAY..THE USA'S MOST DEMOCRATIC STATE LEADS THE WAY!

:kick:

[Arkana]

15. In that case, expect BC to come along and spoil your plans

:P

[adwon]

4. Carolina

And, due to my new home, Kentucky. Carolina over Kentucky in a head to head, though.

[FlyByNight]

5. The Huskies

UConn not Washington. ;-)

Like you, I don't see them getting past the Heels. They're in a tough bracket along with Kansas, Florida and 'Nova. Ugh...

[MasonJar]

6. Kentucky forever. Go, Cats!

[kentuck]

28. Yep. Wildcats!

But I think they are over-rated this year. I will be surprised if they get by Cincinnati tomorrow.

[SeanQuinn]

7. Who I want: UNC; My local team: UCF

Won the Atlantic Sun, so will play uConn first round.

[ThorsHammer]

8. Orphaned; I'm sticking w/ the BE brethren and a few more

I'll pull for the BE squads, especially the WVU "Hoosiers". Unfortunately, I don't think they can keep up their shooting much longer, and may even fall to Creighton, a longtime giant killer. UConn should make it to the Elite 8, Cuse could go to the final 4, BC to the Sweet 16, and Nova to the 2nd round. Pitt is my wildcard. I really think they have the type of game that could give UW fits, and I could see them going to the Final 4 if they can win that game.

From the East, I like UF, UK, Wake, and GT. I've got UF to the Sweet 16, where they may have the horses to run w/ UNC. Wake should be Elite 8 at worst. I've got UK falling to OSU in the Sweet 16, and GaTech to the Elite 8.

From the Midwest/South, I like TTU and OSU. I've got TTU taking out Gonzaga, and they're my other (Pitt) big sleeper. OSU is at least to the Elite 8.

From the West, I like Gonzaga, UW, and UCLA. I have both Gonzaga and UW getting upset (TTU and Pitt, respectively), and UCLA going one and done to TTU.

I'm also pulling for the A&M/Oakland winner to go as far as possible.

9. My favorite college team or who I want to win?

Cincinnati's my favorite team but I expect them to get stuffed first round by Iowa.

The team that owned Cincy this year, Louisville, is my pick to win it all this year. They were vastly underrated in the seeding (just as I thought Wake Forest was vastly overrated).

My #12 that will beat a #5 is UW-Milwaukee over Alabama.

My final four is: Louisville over Arizona, Duke over UCONN
My final is: Louisville over Duke 78-71

10. UW-Milwaukee!

ha i don't think i've ever had school spirit before, but i guess i don't have too much as i have em picked to go out in the 2nd round

they play tough and they play strong, and that's all you need to win.

[sniffa]

22. they're out to a big Lead

:D

[sniffa]

11. i'm waffLing on uconn

i didn't think they deserved a #2 seed, and they're pLaying my sLeeper team - UCF.

it's hard to pick against them though. i'LL put off my brackets for another day.

[kick-ass-bob]

12. Wolfpack!!

I want a NC State/ Uconn rematch from a few years ago.

They keep putting them in the same pod - that's kinda weird.

[slestak]

13. Oklahoma State!!!

Picked them to go all the way in my bracket.

Honestly I think they'll make the Final four.

[Arkana]

14. I may be a PC Friar

but BC is my team for the tournament.

[southlandshari]

16. Alabama A&M!!

If, er, that is, they win the play-in game tonight and actually get that coveted #64 berth!

No, I'm not crazy, just have a lot of good friends who are A&M alums, so, why not? Everybody loves the underdog, right?

[ThorsHammer]

17. I'm pulling for A&M/Oakland to go as far as possible

[southlandshari]

19. Oh dear

With a little more than six minutes to go in the play-in game, Alabama A&M is down by about 21 points. Guess I need to do a quick study about Oakland, which I know virtually nothing about, so I can cheer for the underdog. My favorite underdog does not appear to be barking tonight! =(

[Mean Streets]

18. Townie Pride.

Utah Baby!! I'm a student there now, so how can I possibly pick against them? Bogut is gonna carry us all the way. Best player in the country. That's my BOY!!

[aaronbees]

20. The Zags and Oklahoma State

I can see both going far. I think OSU's experience will serve them well in this tourney -- Joey Graham and John Lucas are a sweet combo. Gonzaga seems to be gelling at the right time, too. I'd say at least the Sweet 16 for the Zags and, hopefully, Final Four for OSU if they can knock off the Illini.

[micrometer_50]

21. Arizona Wildcats

I think they'll win two and lose the third.

[Midlodemocrat]

23. UCONN - all the way, just like last year.

Both boys and girls.

[B Calm]

24. Fighting Illini

[Renew Deal]

25. St. Johns

But I don't think that's going to far. ;) Arizona is my winner.

[rfkrfk]

26. Badgers

I'll be real happy with two wins in the tourney.

[Scout1071]

27. i'm afraid that UCONN won't be around for UNC....they have to go thru

my Jayhawks first.

[JohnKleeb]

29. UNC I guess

[all.of.me]

30. arizona

i don't know how they'll do - can't even venture a guess, but i hope they go all the way! of course....

[Phoebe_in_Sydney]

31. Mine's Utah

I'm an Aussie and I want to see Andrew Bogut play in the final. Don't think an Aussie's done it since Andrew Gaze with Seton Hall (late '80s???)

As for where I honestly think they'll finish, I've got no idea. It's a bit hard to get a handle on college ball from this distance.

It is good we're getting some coverage through ESPN in Australia but not enough to get a real overview.

Any reviews on Bogut would be much appreciated by this geographically disadvantaged basketball fan.
