kinda. But my sis has duke.

How's her bracket holdin' up? Did she register the bracket on any website?

 

[Lawrence Wright]

You gotta admit that you're nervous though. I would be

I'm not nervous about playing Florida Gulf Coast...sorry.

 

[govols120]

Hope Creighton makes this night even crazier. They've got a good shot to do so, I think.

Also, this is the best team ever.

You should be. They proved tonight that Gtown wasn't just a fluke. I think florida will win, but I just don't see how you're not a little nervous about this game. EVERY ncaat game is nerve-wracking if your team is in it

 

[Lawrence Wright]

FGCU is a blast to watch.

The whole country will be behind them next week (besides UF fans).

This is what March Madness is all about.

I agree they are entertaining, and most of country hates UF regardless of who we play.

It's George Mason all over again.

Beating San Diego State proves beating Georgetown wasn't a fluke? Okay.

Florida has a better basketball team than FGC. We should beat them...there's really nothing to be nervous about.

Pretty good. She was 30/32 in the first round. She has gotten one sweet 16 wrong. I think she's gonna get some more wrong though. Strange final four.

She didn't do anything online. She's not even a sports fan. It's just something I've done for years with family. Sit down and let everyone have a bracket. She just picked names when I told her the teams. She usually does decent, but not this well.

Did anyone think the refs called the fcgu game really soft. Not saying it was leaning either way, but a couple plays that went fcgu way that i thought were close.

So she's top 10 in the world? Have you told her?

It's one of the worst situations to be in. Everyone rooting for the Cinderella and all the pressure on UF.

Fair enough. I too think fla will win, but I disagree with some other details. Good luck; it would definitely help my bracket. Michigan vs. florida would be a killer match-up...screw kansas

Except better. More of a cinderella (15 seed) and wayyyy more entertaining.

Their athleticism at every spot is unbelievable.

I just don't believe the have the size to hang with UF. Then again, I had Georgetown going pretty far in my bracket.

 

[LittleCat]

She doesn't care.

 

[LittleCat]

My mom had Ole Miss, Missouri, Florida, and Indiana in the F4. SEC Homer lulz.

 

[govols120]

Creighton got a dunk to start the game two seconds in off of a perfectly-placed tip. That's a good way to start, I suppose

 

[LittleCat]

Henderson with one of his stupid shots.

 

[Insunseri]

She doesn't care.

You should take a pic of her bracket and attach it to a comment. I'm not saying I don't believe you, but I wouldn't mind seeing her predictions for sweet 16 onward in written form. Getting it notarized would also be nice

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Like George Mason in 2006?

I completely disagree with the notion there's more pressure on UF to win its next game because we're playing FGCU instead of Georgetown.

 

[Insunseri]

Well crap, my creighton pick is an absolute MUST. Btw, I noticed Creighton was actually a relatively popular pick considering they're playing duke. I've glanced over some brackets from other folks on here and also the espn leaderboard, and it pops up more than I would expect.

 

[govols120]

If Creighton wins tonight, MVC will have more teams in Sweet 16 than ACC, SEC, Big 12, and the Mountain West. Most underrated conference in America.

I had Michigan beating UF in the Elite 8.

But, if Creighton loses, then they will not...correct?

*When Creighton wins.

*When Creighton wins.

But, if Creighton loses, then you will have overrated Creighton, correct?

 

[govols120]

No one's overrating Creighton. I'm sure their upset odds are pretty low.
