My father (the one that first got me hooked on Cyclone backetball during the Orr-era as a kid), just told me that if Iowa State makes the Final Four, he'd pay for my airfare to Dallas for the game. This needs to happen!

Hey your dad was a little reckless in college, I was the result, he owes me :twitcy:

I tried, you guys. I tried so hard to resist picking Iowa State to win it all. But the offensive consistency, the 2nd half adjustments, the hot streak, the selflessness, it was just too much. I know it's a homer pick, but I've reasoned my way into a hole on this one and don't see myself getting back out.

This is me. I've tried to think this through. But we have great guard play which is huge in this tournament. We have 3 big time scorers and not just one like most teams. And unlike the past 2 seasons, this team can get stops when they need to. Plus, they're just really tough minded, hard nosed players.

I just put $500 at 33 to 1 odds they win it all! Why not us?

I really like Fred after a week break. But I think I'll have us lose to Villanova in the Sweet 16. Virginia over MSU, and kansas with a healthy Embiid to win the whole tournament. Will he be healthy for game 3? My bracket needs him to be
Yes, he will be. If the Final Four was this week he would probably play. My gut tells me that he'll have his unifrom on under his warm ups while he sits on the bench for Sunday's game and that he'll go through pre game warmups as if he was going to play just to get in the mode and be ready. He'll almost definietly be back for the Sweet Sixteen.

Final Four losing to FL. I laugh at the people who make fun of other people's brackets. We all know everyone's bracket will be busted wide open after the first weekend, its just a matter of who's is busted open less.
