Tomorrow's also a good day to be Irish too.

I don't follow NCAA basketball as I do football, but I always keep an eye on ND's teams.

Re: March Madness

Have Kansas taking it in my bracket...I think Ohio State has too tough a road to get there.

I always seem to root for Syracuse - no reason in particular. But this year, with the local guys on the team, I'm goin for:

Re: March Madness

Nice Pick P25! they have another Canadian joining them next year as well. Quite the pipeline.

Kace, I used to just follow them in football, but last year I went to the Big East Tourney at MSG. Hooked ever since.

Kansas is my bracket as well, although I might change that last minute. Louisville or Vanderbilt will give them a great game.

Re: March Madness

I have been a Notre Dame fan for more than 50 years. Why change now? I don't think they will make it to the final four, but they should be fun to watch. My head tell me that Kansas has the best team, but time will tell.

Re: March Madness

I root for my alma mater....Duke.

Yes, I know they are not popular, often viewed to be a bunch of rich kids playing games. But, Coach K gets results year-after-year with different blends of talent and graduates all his players. When you realize that the curriculum at Duke is pretty rigourous and athletes get minimal breaks (compared to the course schedules at Connecticut, Florida State, and other athletic "factories") his achievements are even more remarkable. In my opinion, it is a class program and one that few universities, anywhere, can match.

I do have some mixed loyalties because of family connections with UNC, Kentucky and Louisville.

What I do enjoy is the intensity of play and the devotion to all aspects of the game by the collegians...including tenacious defense. Unlike their NBA cousins who seem to be dogging it 75% of the time (count the number of uncontested layups and dunks in an average NBA contest...these guys seem mesmerized by the athletic prowess of their opponents and like to watch their mid-air artistry instead of actually contesting a shot) the college game is a real two-way battle at both ends of the court.

Re: March Madness

One of the most interesting tourney's in awhile as their could be a lot of upsets but who knows. My final four is Duke, Pitt, Louisville and Ohio State. I have Duke beating Louisville in the championship game.

Being a Gonzaga fan I think they can get by St. Johns but have a tough time past that. Should be a great tourney!

I can't see Pitt going that far, they're vastly overrated IMHO, but, what do I know!?

Re: March Madness

^^^While I agree, they have the easiest side of the draw. I have the Badgers beating them though (as bad as I know they are away from Madison).

Kansas - aside from the game against Texas where they were emotional - have to me been the best team all year. Duke likely getting Kyrie Irving back changes things...they're solid as always.
