Yeah I knew that was coming.

At the end of today those advancing to the final four are:
West Virginia and Butler (first time for Butler)

The losers are:
Kansas State and Kentucky (I'll be able to further discuss this after I take a few days to process).

Tomorrow's games are:
Baylor v. Duke (Go Baylor!)
Michigan State v. Tennessee (Go Michigan State!)

if we had hit a few more than half of the freethrows we missed, we could have won. that and a totally absent 3 point shot (4-32) sealed the our fate.

We just didnt have an answer to that 1-3-1 zone.
again- some really bullshit calls, but that's not why we lost.
it's such a let down. i was so convinced that this was THE year.

Butler and Baylor alll the way. I'd love to see that final game.


...i have to remember UK will have an awesome season next year too. this was just the beginning. GO BIG BLUE.

I feel your Kentucky pain. My best friend is a Kentucky man and it was a pretty painful day for him. I'm a jayhawk myself so I'm used to the disappointment though! Really an amazing March though. I believe it would best be described as Aces-10.

As an alumnus of WVU and also having partcipated in past couch burnings I was very disappointed to learn you can no longer send a burning couch attached to skateboards down Hill St. in Morgantown. What happened to tradition.

GO BAYLOR!

I would love a win for them in a tournament as crazy as this one.

God I wish!


Alright, tonight was the final four. Don't know if anyone still has a bracket left but....

The final 2 are:

Duke (sigh) and Butler.

Duke kicked West Virginia's ass and Butler v. Baylor was a 2 point game.

Butler has never been in the finals before and they're playing Duke so GO BUTLER!!!!!

Was a good game, but the best part about it was that I watched it in Cancun!!!

Sports bar was packed with middle aged Americans and 85% were rooting for Butler. Fun time was had by all.
