I want Michigan State for the simple reason that KU fans will be selling tickets cheap if that happens and it will be a very pro-ISU crowd. And for the BLARGE. Let's avenge the BLARGE.
Yes!!! If we are lucky enough to win and for MSU to free up KC it will start to make up for the horrible luck we've had.

first year since 2007 that top 4 seeds went 16-0.

I predicted mostly chalk for the first round. I think there will be a couple more upsets in round 2.

Excellent observation about the 1-thru-4 seeds. So it has been a decade since that happened.

The closest comparison for 1st round I can remember is 2000 tournament, which went mostly chalk, then chaotic after that. Most seasons, it's bonkers first weekend, then becomes a bit more routine.

Wow, you really are clueless on this. It will be a huge KU advantage. This isn't the Big 12 tournament. Good lord, use your head. We'll be lucky to get more than 25% of the arena.

I'm sure there were a few, but a vast majority of KU fans didn't stopped celebrating when ISU was revealed.

Why are you even here? This is CycloneFanatic, not Cyclone, well, whatever you are.

I see we're going back to this.

Oh, that's right, you're the kid that starts threads about WWE. I apologize, with your previous lack of critical thinking I thought you to be an idiot, but you're just young and haven't followed college basketball. Let's pick this back up when you've reached 14.

Intellingent conversations significantly greather than you are able to have occur in those WWE threads, if the intellectual level of your posts in the basketball threads are any kind of indicator.

25/32 so far in my one and only Sheet of Integrity. Not great but it's the first time in a long time that all of my Sweet 16 picks are still alive.

Got the Xavier and USC picks right, and Vandy screwed me. Still feeling pretty good.

What's your guys best bracket? I'm 30/32 so far in one of my brackets

I only make one bracket and use the same bracket everywhere - two separate friend pools, ESPN, Yahoo, etc. In my mind it's too much effort to keep track of more than one bracket.

I'm 29/32, my worst miss being SMU, which won't be making the Sweet 16 this year.

I make 10 each year but only keep track of my main bracket. It's only 25/32 but all my sweet 16 teams are still in

I'm not going to argue with someone so young. I remember when I followed that garbage. Someday you'll learn, though. We all do.

Glad to have you aboard ISU MBB. I'd love to tell you it's always this good and last weekend is the norm, but take a moment to read Travis Hines recent article.
