    my bracket was F'd long ago. i've posted before about how much i dislike the tournament format from a "good way to determine a champion" perspective. it blows. basketball, like baseball, isn't a one and done sport. at least the CWS has double elimination. and when you're up 24 and find yourself barely hanging on at the end, you're probably not the better team.

    charge on mizzou, no call, touch foul on memphis. weak.

    You can't foul our Missouri's best player on a questionable charge.

    college refs do crap like that all the time. so instead of calling the charge that is always called at the college level, you hand mizzou a 3 point play since the memphis guy is now laying on the floor? how does that make sense? now you're just screwing over the other team.

    memphis has been lazy on D all night. They are getting everything they usually get offensively, but they've been beaten at their own game.

    How did anyone see this coming? I was for sure Memphis would at least make the elite 8... :(

    So does Coach K still think the ACC is the toughest conference in the nation?

    I picked Mizzou in my brackets to beat Memphis because the college analyst were saying Mizzou is a good press team and that Tyreke Evans is now the Starting PG.

    A)Evans isn't a true PG and he's a freshman.

    Too bad he was actually about the only Memphis player that actually decided to show up tonight.

    I'm doing real well this round of picks.

    Some of my early rounds messed me up.

    Aka Florida St., Wake, West Virginia
