I'm with you on 6-0.

But Final four? I'm not seeing it. Even before Fab Melo was lost, I didn't expect Syracuse to get there. Marquette has the best shot now that Missouri has gone down, but I've learned not to pick against Izzo in these kinds of games. Marquette is a bunch of overachievers & Buzz does some great coaching of his own on the sidelines, so I'll leave room for hope. Maybe Crowder will turn out to be the next DWade & will lead these guys to the promised land.

I'm kind of the same thought on this. I think Georgetown is good, but it's a bad time to be playing North Carolina State who is getting hot right when it matters most.

Scratch another Big12 school off that list. Cuse beats KState

Pac 12....LOL

anybody know when UCLA plays?

Yes but three of the four Big East and Big Ten teams are going head to head. The remaining Big East and Big Ten teams are facing an SEC opponent

Also if the remaining Big East Teams do win, they will all play each other in the elite 8 round, possible for 2 big east teams in the finals. But I haven't counted my chickens or anything.
