Is anyone else as excited as I am for the NCAA men's basketball tournament? Who are your picks?

I really want to see University of Louisville play UK in the sweet 16..and of course I want my CARDS to make it to the final 4!!

    I'm super excited.
    Kind of rooting for Ohio... I know total under dogs, but they have been a Cinderella story before. Plus, one good game and they could throw off the entire bracket.

    Have filled out a few brackets, and I always have Kentucky on top; although there's usually a team from a small college who stirs the pot - look for St. Mary's or a similar team to be in the final 4. I also think Florida State has a chance to go a long way. Like _snw_ I feel the same way about UNC ... anyone but the Tarheels.

    In a bracket this year, I always do horribly cause I homer that ish up and pick my Noles to go way too far.

    ACC Champs though, let's get it!

    I would love to see that match up but with UK wining on their way to winning the championship. That's what my bracket says so it must be true!!!

    YES! It all starts tonight!

    Clearly, there is only one answer to this question. UNC! I have Carolina and Michigan State in the championship game, with Carolina taking it all. Go Tar Heels! (Full disclosure - I'm biased because I graduated from there...) :happy:

    Oh, and beyond that, I will pull for anyone BUT Dook.

    I have Kentucky v Michigan State and Kansas v Syracuse, with Kentucky beating Kansas in the final.

    I don't like it, but thats what my gut tells me. :-(

    I have Kentucky, Missouri, Syracuse, Kansas as the final 4 with Missouri vs. Syracuse for the title. If I'm remembering correctly.

    I'll be pulling for Duke, but they'll actually have to show up and play, unlike they did in the ACC tournament. Next in line is UNC and then NC State.

    If Florida State plays like they did in the ACC tournament, they stand a very good chance of taking the NCAA tournament.

    I wish, we're pretty inconsistent. The Noles are dangerous due to having one of the best defensives in the country, good length, and nice range. When they're hot from outside, they're scary for anyone.

    That said, losing to St. Bonaventure or Cincy wouldn't shock me... :frown:

    hahahaha I feel the same :) I also loathe Duke & UNC.

    I've got Kentucky over FSU (that's my longshot pick, but they've been pretty hot)

    My 'I know this is crazy but I want to see it happen' pick is Wisconsin going all the way for obvious reasons :)

    Yeah, sometimes we let little brother win a game just to boost his confidence and keep it interesting but this is not the year for that.

    GO BIG BLUE!!!!!!

    I have to root for my home-state underdog again - VCU! I hate them during the regular season because the university where I attended (and now work) plays them, but in the NCAA tourney, all is forgiven. Go CAA!

    I am in a Bracket and i have 18 wins so far. As who my teams are I have no clue. It is a fun competition between my husband and I. I chose my brackets based on school colors, mascots, name, and location, or a state I want to visit. We betting on what mini vacation we will go on. Though I have Kentucky as the Champs
