    Colorado takes down Florida.

    For anyone that might have forgotten, IU didn't even make the dance. Nadda. Thats below “mediocre”. In each game there will be a loser and a winner. Making fun of the loser when you’re not even in the same race is silly.

    Nah.  I'm a Big Ten fan.  I'll take pleasure in SEC teams losing.

    3 out of those 5 teams never made it past the first weekend, and none of those teams made it past the S16. If we wanted those results, we could have just stuck with Crean. 

    And, Crean is a helluva nicer human being than Alford.

    May is doing more with less compared to the resources and level of talent available to B1G schools all while we sit on the outside looking in.

    Are you including Northwestern in the 'more with less' comparison?  I'll argue that point.  Northwestern is restricted by academics far more than FAU is short on 'resources'.

    100%.  FAU would NOT have been in the tournament this season if not for last year's run.  The committee would have found another Virginia to sneak in.

    Didn't Archie have an Elite 8 run at Dayton, which resulted in everyone slobbering all over him?

    Porter Moser had a magical run with Loyola.  Parlayed it into the Oklahoma job.  Not in the tournament this year.

    If IU would take May over Pearl, that's just stupid.  And Pearl wouldn't turn IU down unless Auburn makes a huge run this season or next.

    We are a cautionary tale for others.

    Meh.  I work in Louisville and know a lot of UK fans.  Some of them actually define themselves based on the UK basketball team.  

    I'm a big IU fan, but when it comes down to it, 32-0 or 19-14 are no different to me after the first Monday night in April.

  5. My goodness all of you guys suck!

    I pulled up my bracket expecting to be in the bottom half, and I'm tied for 2nd?????

    On another note, for all of the 'real' name brackets in our challenge, if you could please go in and change your bracket name to your HSN screen name, that would be great.  

    It's always more interesting to know who everyone is.  Plus, if @bluegrassIU decides to give out that $2,000,000,000 prize to the winner that he was considering, it helps us know how to reach out.

    The Arc of Champions only had them as a Tier 3 team so I decided to pick Duquesne. 

    I did my whole bracket off the Arc of Champions.  

    Unfortunately, while BYU was a Tier 3 team, Duquesne was in Tier 4.  Illinois also in Tier 4, so BYU losing cost me a Sweet 16 team.
