    Mark my words: Texas Tech will make it to the elite eight. There's a 50/50 shot they'll make it to the final four.

    Correct your bracket's accordingly, and thank me later.

    i have them losing to Gonzaga, but i'm not super-duper confident in that. mostly because i have no idea which Tech team will show up at the tourney. on the surface, i think Gonzaga is better than Tech...but i'm not overly-confident they'll beat Tech

    You're right on the Jeckyll/Hyde phenomenon. However, I think Knight's pissed this year, and I believe he'll take it out on his opponents.

    Plus, I'll look like a genius if I'm right.

    Better them than his elderly secretaries.

    UCLA will beat them in the first round.

    You know me. Yesterday was the first time I actually wrote down the seedings as they were announced. I had my first bracket filled out no more than 30 seconds after they were finished announcing them.

    What're you up to? Wanna meet up with us for any of the games?

    Thursday and Friday. I may head out that way during the weekend though, so maybe we could catch some games then.

    No one ever thinks of Oklahoma State.

    But they will win this year.

    god knows they should have been against UConn last year, the gtech squad rolled over and died.

    Hands down Biggest Disappointment:

    Wake not getting a No. 1 seed.

    1. Of their five losses four were to tournament teams (Ill., Duke- split season series, NC State, Ga. Tech - in OT)...the other L was a road loss in OT.

    2. They have beat a ton of ranked teams including Arizona, UT (when they were #12), UVA (when at #25), UNC, Cincy, Ga. Tech, Dook.

    3. Went 13-3 in the ACC - all three losses on the road, 2 in OT.

    4. They were in the top #5 almost the entire season, while UW was #14 in the last poll.

    5. The last L was w/out Chris Paul...most NCAA teams would lose
    without a consensus all American

    Reasons they didn't get the No. 1

    1. Not as sexy as Dook.

    2. NCAA couldn't bring themselves to have 3 ACC #1's.

    3. ????

    Duke's unstoppable when it's 8-5, which is most nights.
