There's really about 4-5 teams who have a realistic shot. My brother has N.C too. But he picked them last year.

in my opinion teams like north carolina, duke, etc. (the 'powerhouse' teams) are safe picks. they're basketball giants, but that doesn't mean that at the end of the day they come out on top. like i said, i like the underdogs and the 'yeah they're good, but not THAT good' teams. makes victory much sweeter.

Agreed. I love cinderella teams in the tournament. Although so far, there hasn't been any yet after Day 1.

I had Western K in that game. Illinois stinks, they shouldn't have been a fifth seed IMO.

oooh, it's on now, "spanky"! no one talks smack about my illini but me! ;D if frazier hadn't been injured, that game would've turned out MUCH differently.

Illinois lost, so I don't care about the tournament anymore. LOL In 2005, they went to the final!!
