Can't remember but I think it was only a couple of years ago that the Final Four actually featured all #1 seeds. When you have a one and done tournament with so many schools anything can happen. |

2008. I was there. It was my senior year at UCLA. We lost to a team whose star player was later declared ineligible. |

We (WVU) should have played you guys in the Elite 8 that year....we got beat in Sweet 16 by Xavier in OT....they made several 3's in final minute of regulation, and we missed a bunch of free throws down the stretch...we had them. Joe Alexander (WVU) and Kevin Love (UCLA) won Regional Co-MVP |

UNC Wilmington looked very good that game. Princeton looked good against ND also....They do need a tanning bed or something....some of those guys were so pale I felt like I needed sunglasses to watch |

Oh I also have Seton Hall over Arkansas if that counts as an upset
my next upsets are Michigan over Louisville, SMU over Baylor, and I guess Iowa State over Purdue |

I took Seton Hall, but I have U of L and Baylor....Michigan has been hot....and I struggled with SMU in both rounds. I am worried USC is bad match up for them. |

ya Michigan Louisville was a pure momentum pick. USC / SMU was definitely a tough one but I felt if they could get past USC they'd beat Baylor. |

| I have Mid. Tenn. St. going to the Sweet 16. They are choking right now big time. Their 17-point lead is down to 7. |

| Middle Tenn. St. back up by 10 with 3:33 to go. Minnesota had cut it to 4 and it was looking dicey. Let's see if they can close this out. They were the favorite to win this game in Vegas, after all. |
