So, who will lose to UK in the NCAA final? (March Madness Brackets thread)

[dpdx]

I'm in - I'll probably do another one when I'm awake.

Well, Gators drew a 4 (that's what I get when I don't wear my glasses) - in the GROUP OF DEATH. Nice. I can't even see Carolina surviving it. It's gonna be somebody weird from there (Syracuse, maybe Florida - if they play like they've been, and not like they did against Creighton the other year).

Nice of them to grease Bruce Weber's run all the way to the Championship.

And I love the Pac-10, reppasent, and all that, but the Washington Huskies? as a one seed? The Tournament Selection committee really didn't know what they were doing this time, and Washington should have been maybe a 3, possibly a four. They're not that good, it was a down year in conference, they played way over their head, and aw, isn't it nice that a 5' 6" guy can dunk, but they're a jelly donut team that's going to get torn to bits if they make it to the Sweet Sixteen. They can't play with Wake. They shouldn't even get to.

And finally, as for Kentucky (cause we all love Ashley Judd), they got a 2, but they won't play to it. Any three seed (in this case, Oklahoma) is gonna give them problems.

Here's why UK basketball is a religion...

My theory goes like this -
Kentucky leads the world in three things: Tobacco (yes, they do, NC ), bourbon, and race horses. So we've got smoking, drinking and gambling out the wazoo in a predominantly Baptist state (dry counties are still in the majority ). UK basketball is the only thing we can be legitimately proud of

Eddie Sutton and that nasty gambling thing in the early 50's kinda blow a hole in that theory, but every religion has its scandals, now don't they?


Much as I love 'em, having grown up in Georgetown and gone to UK, they ain't got the hosses this year. I just hope they get a chance to nail Cincinnati in the 2nd round
