    Tech is a lock.

    8) Which cinderella is most likely to reach the Final Four?

    Since when were "cinderellas" considered to be "locks"?

    "Hey Knight!", better hope that his Red Raiders don't get the same refs that called the West Virginia-Wake Forest game last night or the game will be over before it even starts.

    I actually picked Tech to win their first 2 games but then to lose to Wake (of course like any other reasonable person would).

    But I agree with drapg here - since when has a cinderella equated to a "lock"?

    I still ask you where it says that Tech is a "lock."

    It simply isn't there.

    Fatty, they may not be a lock, but I sure am pulling for them.

    I even threw two packages of tortillas at my television during the Gonzaga game!

    so was covering vs. Kansas at home.

    there's no such thing as a lock in sports.

    having said that...i'm like RMTexas..I'm rooting for them. My 5 year old had them in the Final Four in his bracket! :)

    They had their chances but didn't have a very good last minute of play. They were in position to win and didn't get it done. Blew some good looks and managed the clock very poorly.

    I was rooting for them.

    Well that sucks. I was rooting for Tech just cause they're from Texas, and then Ok State gets their hearts broken by Stoudamire and in the process kill my bracket. Not a good night, except for the Rox win.

    Oh hey I didn't know Zeno was playing for Texas Tech... I went to high school with him

    he did absolutely nothing, and just harassed the guidance councelors all day.
    Of course I think his parents died or something and he lived with one of the coaches. FREE RIDE

    I worked for Wafflehouse and he'd harass me for free waffles all the time

    Man, Stoudamire is a solid shooter. I think he'll make a very good sixth-man type player. A poor man's Michael Redd.

    I was rooting for the former Big 10 coaches tonight. Knight is a great coach, it was a good game. Tech will be here again, and they'll finish better next time. Mental errors cost them the game tonight - that won't happen again.

    I was rooting for them until virtually every tech fan I knew started with all the smack talk.

    Either way, WV is really coming out of no where.

    I'm in a sense of depression.

    Tech had the game.

    We lost it on horrible shooting, piss poor turnovers, and WV shootimg lights out on threes.

    We were the better team. They shot better for one night

    Now you know how Wake Forest fans felt.

    If Louisville doesn't absolutely roll West Virginia, I will be in shock.

    Louisville has caught fire lately. I'd love to see them matchup with UNC in the championship game, that would be a good one.
