Yeah it's that time again. Let's talk about who you like and who you hate. Personally, my Georgia Bulldogs pulled off the biggest SEC tournament miracle ever by going from dead last to winning the whole thing. I'm going to be rooting hard for them as a 14 seed against Xavier in the first round. Honestly though, outside of Georgia, I don't care who wins as long as it's NOT UNC. I'm tired of listening to every EPSN analyst suck Tyler Hansbro's cock publically every game. "HE SCORED A BUCKET, OMG MVP BABEEEEEEEEEEY" Also, if you want to join the Yahoo F13 Pickem bracket so you can prove you know everything about college basketball, the thread is here: http://forums.f13.net/index.php?topic=12535.0. Make sure you sign up and make your picks by Thursday before the tipoff of the first games. Otherwise, you can't play. Let's hear what yall think. Who's the best team in the land?

I always think that Duke has a shot. They're generally a lock to make it to the sweet sixteen, if I remember my old brackets right.

Duke's going to have trouble with either West Virginia or Arizona for the second round. Outside of that though, I think UCLA's got one of the easier routes to the Final Four, so I'm not too worried just yet. Two injuries coming out of the PAC-10 tournament though  .

I really want to see Arizona play Duke. Talented team that has vastly underachieved all year. ASU got robbed, and that's hard to say as a UofA alum.

This is usually my favorite time of year. This year, however, I just can't get myself to care. I usually have 10 brackets filled out by now. I have yet to even look at the brackets yet this year.
Is it something to do with the media coverage this year? Has there been less?
It may just be a brain tumor.

Every media outlet pretty much believes UNC will roflstomp their way to victory. It's the kind of cocksucking you saw for the Patriots. Hmmmm.

UNC loses to Duke in the championship, 76-74. Kryzewski still remains the greatest coach in college basketball history still coaching today.

I realized later I was thinking of Richmond, not Xavier. They are the Musketeers or Musketmen or something.

Always fun when one of your picks scores 10 points in the entire first half. Way to go Kent State!

Kansas over Texas.
FF = UNC, Kansas, Texas, Duke.
Duke is a bad pick but every time I pick against them they go deep so expect them to get dropped possibly even before they play UCLA.

Paelos, what happened to UGA at the end of that game?  The shine wore off and the team that went 4-12 in the SEC showed up. The reason UGA lost so many games is because they faded at the end all the time, or they got simply outclassed and never showed up.

Duke losing to Belmont would have been so sweet. Oh well, I don't think the dukies are long for this tourney.

Lollerskates at the USC Trojans losing to Kansas State. ESPN talked all year about how fucking awesome the PAC-10 is this year in basketball. I don't think any PAC-10 team will see the Elite 8.

UCLA or Stanford should get that far at least. I loved seeing USC get beat. God I hate them, and OJ Mayo in particular.

I see UCLA getting upset by UCONN if they make it to that matchup. Also, Stanford stands no chance against Texas.

Texas always shits the bed, have no worries. If UCLA is healthy (big IF), they may be the best team in the country.

The lowest seed that UCLA has to beat to get into the Elite 8 is a 9 seed.

Yeah for some reason I just felt UCONN might fuck it up early, and damned if they didn't. My bracket still holds my final four, but the rest is now shot to shit.

My Big East honkness unfortunately did not include Villanova because I hate them with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

It's ridiculous to give up a 17 point 2nd half lead but there had to be some fucking memo sent out to allow Curry to get away with murder.

Arkansas is gonna lose to UNC by 30+ in probably the biggest margin of the tournament. Tennessee barely escaped in OT against Butler.
The SEC is on the ropes in this tournament.

I'm currently winning my office pool, being the only one to nail the Davidson run. My Final Four is intact, but I have Xavier, Louisville and Wisconsin going all the way which is bound to get me hammered.
