March madness thread anyone? Who ya got for FF and Cinderella team?

[GusBob]

I got: VA, MICH, PURDUE, KAN in the final four

The furthest lowest seeds I got advancing are Rhode Island and Missouri to the sweet 16

Now that I think about it, I might need to fill in another bracket with more glass slipper teams advancing....

1. VA and KY are in the same regional bracket

Therefore both can not make the Final Four.

3. K for Kansas! D'oh

too early for Gus&Bob

4. No problem

Kansas goes by KU. Kentucky goes by UK. Easy to mix them up unless you are a fan of either or Other schools in their conferences. Big 12 schools put the U last. SEC schools put the U first.

6. By your rule, where is UT?

Austin, Knoxville, or both?

BTW UNC used to go by NCU; it is still used in the school song, “Hark the Sound”.

7. Both Tennessee and Texas go by UT

However, Texas is originally from the old Southwest Conference not the former Big8
(Now the Big12).

Missouri is in the SEC and goes by MU (also Mizzou), but they are originally from the Big8.

8. I know, just kidding around

I’ve spent a lot of time in Austin, even more time recently in Knoxville.

9. Two great towns that

Love their UT.

2. Go KU! - Rock Chalk Jayhawks!

5. Always ready for March Madness. Go Heels

UNC will be hard presssed to return to the Final Four. Maybe a 15-20% chance. That is a lot higher than most of the pundits think. Making it to back-to-back championship games is really hard. Three FFs in a row is even harder.

Don’t know how well UVA will do with the loss of Hunter for the rest of the year. They have a short rotation and will miss his defense and 9+ points off the bench. Think their chances are still better than Michigan.
