I Was doing really well until I went to bed last night.

I checked my bracket earlier today and things had changed somewhat.

I just had a moment to check again and perhaps now I am doing as well as Moxie

I am at 50%, grrrrrrrr.

i didn't do a mens bracket. but i did a womens, and i didn't do well. i won't say how bad i did, ... i'll just leave that to the whatevers.

men, kentucky vs kansas tonight. i'm going with kentucky. i have to. i am a sec fan.

women, baylor vs notre dame tuesday night. if i liked notre dame, i'd sure go with them, ... but i don't, so i can't. so baylor it is. the coach for baylor, kim mulkey, is suffering from bells palsy. mulkey just found out she has this disease about a week ago. i hope she gets to enjoy the night, win or lose. the medications and adjusting to the disease, ... i'm sure she's not quite herself. the refs have really taken over, fouls all over the place and not calling. or calling little rinky dink fouls. they don't seem to have a balance. good luck to the players, hope no one gets hurt.

go lady vols! lol

Just_G · 04-02-2012, 11:25 AM

Woooo hoooo....it is game day! I ak a HUGE Jayhawks fan and am so happy that my boys stayed under the radar this year! I say KU by 5....that will jack up most peoples brackets...lol

As for the women....go Baylor Bears! I would love to see the abig 12 take the mens and womens championships!

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK, GO KU!!!!

I don't follow the men at all.....college or pro....I support women's sports only. More women need to support women athletics. The men's basketball game is boring......run up and down the court dunking the ball........blech

So Baylor can make history tomorrow night.....no men or women team has ever gone 40-0 to win the national championship. Baylor is 39-0 right now.....so GO BEARS..............make history several ways!!! Griner is awesome and has grown huge amounts since she was a freshman and we get her one more year!!!

Kim's bell's palsy is not that bad.....she said she is on steroids and antivirals for a short period of time...........she said it's aggravating and that's about all...

ESPN has launched a website for only women's sports. It's awesome and covers ALL women's sports.

www.espnW.com

edited to add: I thought the refs were consistent and they let them play....I've seen far worse and particularly favorable to UCONN but that did not happen....

I am rooting for Baylor in the women's tournament.

Men, Kentucky.

I got 57% so far in my bracket. Not much to brag about.

BullDog · 04-03-2012, 08:39 AM

I have watched the entire Women's NCAA tournament, I don't follow the Men's. I just moved to Tennessee recently, but I am already a rabid Lady Vols fan- there is such a great tradition here with Pat Summit and all the great players who have played here. Knoxville is also nuts about the Lady Vols and the support here is awesome. They lost in the final 8.

My team growing up was Stanford. They lost to Baylor. Neither Notre Dame or Baylor is my team. I will probably root for Notre Dame just because they are the underdog, but Baylor really is an awesome team and none of their starters are seniors.

macele · 04-03-2012, 12:51 PM

i really felt like stanford could pull the upset. and they could have. just not against baylor lol. stanford did a great job. open shots missed, ... nervous, or not quite set, ... i don't know. but they never made a run, never pulled away to allow adjustments. the reason for that was baylors defense. stanford did fine on defense, but baylor did better.

notre dame is a shooting team, offense! we see all these teams that baylor has beat, and say, "if they could have just made their open shots!" there's a reason for that, baylor defense, ... and intimidation. notre dame may score a little better than stanford, but they won't play the defense stanford did. so the score goes up on the baylor side also. notre dame will have to stay out of foul trouble, i'm not so sure they can. i think the key to beating baylor is backdoor cuts and 3 pointers. but in order to do that, notre dame has to overcome baylors defense. so it's like the old saying goes, defense wins championships. if baylor holds up their defense, it's a blow out.

bulldog, good to see another lady vol fan. i am a diehard summitt fan. i only got to go to knoxville once this season. i wish for a lot more.
