Yea wow. When Baylor was ahead 10-5 I was thinking this is going to be a good game. That sure got lopsided in a hurry.

Now when it comes to money I'm not an idiot. I took OSU. The one bright point this morning is in my wife's office pool I have both OSU and Lville in the FF and rode Lville as this season's dog. Now if UK and UNC win I can have all FF.

Nice call on Louisville. I had Missouri to win the west region. Ugh 🙁 But still if UNC wins I will be 3/4 for the FF. But I have OSU over UNC for a UK/OSU final while I'm pretty sure a vast majority has UK/UNC for a final.

Thanks. I had Mizzo winning up until they lost to Lville so that killed that part of the bracket. I'm perfect in the east and Michigan bit me in the SE. I had 6 of the 8 and on course for all 4 if UNC wins.

This Kentucky/Indiana game may become an instant classic. I hope this back and forth high energy play continues the entire game.

I loved that game aside from all the fouls. I'm already picking Indiana for next year #1. Everyone will be back and Zeller will be a beast and they have one of the top recruiting classes around.

Now if Kentucky can keep the freshman from leaving to the NBA just wow I'd love to see them arrange a UK/Indiana final 🙂

Indiana is going to be TOUGH next year. UK will look like a completely different team most likely.

We basically have 6 main players, plus Kyle Wiltjer who gets some minutes each game. Of those six:

- Anthony Davis: will be gone
- Terrence Jones: should be gone
- Doron Lamb: should be gone
- Michael Kidd-Gilchrist: should be gone
- Marquis Teague: will probably leave after having a great second half of the season
- Darius Miller: senior, will be gone

Davis is definitely NBA ready, that guy is a beast with the skills and the size. Teague and Gilchrist would be smart to stay another year and develop a bit more. Gilchrist is skilled but a 6-7 F in the pros would be very challenging for him at this stage and could possibly derail his NBA career if he leaves early. I'm sure Blake Griffin would love the chance leap over Gilchrist for some ESPN highlights 🙂
 
Grats KU! Great game. Didn't see that huge run coming at all. From 1pt lead to 13 pt win. Wow!

Oh well at lest my Kentucky vs OSU pick is still alive 😀

Too bad Kendall Marshall got hurt in addition to Strickland & McDonald. At full strength, I think only UNC had a legit chance to take down Kentucky.

Negative.

Would have still lost to OSU.

Highly doubt it. Rotation of Kendall Marshall (6'4"), Bullock (6'8"), Strickland (6'5"), Mcdonald (6'5") with the front line of Mcadoo (6'9"), Barnes (6'8"), Zeller (7'0"), and Henson (6'10" (all healthy)) would be too much for the Buckeyes. I could only see the Wildcats match up and it would've been a hell of a match.

98% sure Kidd-Gilchrist will be gone.

Rock Chalk. I have them going all the way, but I'm biased. Downtown Lawrence is crazy tonight.

I have them going all the way in my main bracket; unfortunately I have them playing Missouri. :hmm:

Grats on Kansas. UNC looked like they were playing not to lose and Kansas was playing to win. UNC would keep coming back but Kansas kept the pressure on until UNC finally folded. Not sure how they will match with OSU but it's going to be a great game. The guard play alone will be worth watching. And the Lville/Ken game has the state of Kentucky in full meltdown mode. I ended up with 3 of 4 in the Final Four and I have Ken playing OSU for the NC so I'm still in the running for the pool.
 
Louisville, of course. I also still have all possible points remaining (got UK over OSU). I'm not even in the ATOT group though, unfortunately.

I have UK beating Louisville and OSU beating UNC so I'm dead on Kansas but we are both in good shape with a Ken/OSU match up. I have UK winning it all 71-63. I'm really looking forward to the games this weekend. Some intriguing match ups.
