Since Syracuse needs another year with the injuries and inexperience, it's great to see another Big East team still in it. I am not sure what West Virginia or Louisville will do. While I would rather see Syracuse, you can't ignore Scottie Reynolds and the rest of the Wildcats. Go Villanova! I’m another one rooting for Villanova.

Bush league? How about giving the third-stringers a chance to play in the NCAA tournament they'll remember for the rest of their lives? They're hard-working players the fans love to see get some action when they can. If the team is so good they dominate the entire 40 minutes, why not rest the starters and give the others a few minutes of playing time? That's what Roy's always done, and it's classy. Memphis is highly overrated; I've thought so all season. And UCLA won't be able to hold a candle to Carolina if they barely beat A&M. In fact, no one will be able to hold a candle to us. Holding back? Not playing your A game? Yeah right. Great excuse for poor play. No coach in his right mind would have his team hold back in the NCAA tournament. Every game could be your last. And for Memphis, that will come against MSU (I had Pitt beating MSU and Memphis, but that was dashed) if not Texas. UCLA will beat WV (who will beat Xavier) but will struggle all along the way, finally losing to Texas, who will lose handily to UNC in the final. It's going to be either Kansas or Wisconsin in the other region. “Watch Roy Williams pull his starters after they reached 100…..Bush league…..”

We haven't been hitting our free throws for the last three years, and it hasn't cost us yet. And we haven't played our A game yet. We're saving it up for the right time. Our "A Game" is good enough to beat anyone, including North Carolina or UCLA. Go Tigers!! Memphis a fraud? I don’t think so!

Then they always get knocked out before the regional finals. I stopped buying into the hype a long time ago.

Don't feel bad about your brackets. I had Pitt winning it. And I'm kind of a big deal with middle school basketball here in Loveland, CO. :-) ej Pete,
