Duke loses.

Sweetness.

Think of the brackets, won't anyone think of the brackets? :(

Awesome for my bracket. I could care less about the bracket. Duke is out in the 1st round. Freakin' awesome.

My family is from North Carolina, I was born there, I live in Kentucky. Of all on this board I have the most hatred for Duke and with good reason.

Good for my bracket. I have VCU in the sweet 16.

VCU is going to get smashed by Pitt.

We'll see. Most people had duke beating them. Pitt still has to beat Wright St, which isn't a walkover.

Pitt is a strong team.

Why? They have played poorly this season, I've watched many games and just looked like they had the problems Virginia Tech had last year (couldn't win close games). Thier #6 seed was higher than I expected...only 8-8 in conference.

Damn.. I hope I can watch the second half of the VCU/Duke game later since I'm stuck at work. Sounds intense from the previous post!

Cause Pitt isn't looking too good after their blowout loss in the Big East finals.

Just an FYI for everyone, the odds of picking a perfect bracked are 2^64 or ~18.5 quintillion to 1 :laugh:

I am guilty of blasphemy... I had them going down to Pitt :p

But going down to VCU is unacceptable... :|


So for the remainder of the tourney, I will be rooting for my favorite teams: Texas (Durant and Co.), Oregon (Taylor and Co.), and Texas A&M (Law and Co.).

It's not 50/50. Most of the matchups are weighted against one team, at least in the first round.

Didn't you see my post? NC born, KY raised. 80% of the reason why I love that duke fell was my loyalty to KY. KY first, UL second, UK third. ;)

WOW, Pitt is no slouch. That would be a huge upset.

Given the tide of things, there should be some big upsets tonight. Can't fight the odds.

damn, biggest mistake was TT over BC, changed that at the last minute. I figured stanford would lose, but I put them down anyways just because :/
