    Re: The Official 2011 "Running Commentary of Every Single Tourney Game" Thread

    Is it just me, or does it seem like interest in the tourney is WAY down. Like off of a cliff. I've noticed it in this forum, at work, and at the bars....just way fewer people caring this year compared to a few years ago.

      I don't know if it's just you, but it doesn't seem way down to me.

          Nope. It is quite the opposite when looking at the numbers. The first two rounds of the tourney had the best TV ratings it has had since 2000.

          For me personally, I am just as interested in the tourney as ever! We should have some great games tonight.

            I'm going to pick the opposite of you in every game except Wisconsin/Butler, and I think that one's a toss-up.

              It's just you...I can't turn on the radio or the TV without hearing someone talking about it. At work everyone in the office is talking about it and going over brackets. I actually wouldn't mind if people would talk about something else for a little bit!

                    Too much love for the west IMO. I could maaaybe see Arizona clipping Duke, or BYU taking down Florida if Jimmer goes nuts, but I think UConn is going to beat down San Diego State.

                      Can`t wait for tonight`s games to get under way. It seems like it`s been weeks since the last game was played even though it was only days.

                      We got 4 great games tonight. I am most excited about BYU and Florida.

                      BYU vs Florida
                      San Diego St. vs UCONN
                      Wisconsin vs Butler
                      Arizona vs Duke

                        Pretty much agree with you, being out west in Pac 10 country Zona would seemingly have more of a home court advantage (although Duke fans are everywhere), wouldn't be surprised if they pull it off but I still think Duke wins.

                        If BYU shoots like they did against Wofford Florida will smoke them, if they play like they did vs Gonzaga they can win, I hope BYU wins but I think Florida will.

                        Butler/Wisconsin should be an awesome game, I expect score to stay in the 50's or possibly low 60's should be a great one, I think Wisconsin wins it but why do I keep picking against Brad Stevens? His teams just win.

                        UConn/SDSU while SDSU hasn't impressed me yet when they bring it they can play with anyone, UConn could easily blow them out but if Kemba has an off night I think SDSU can win.
                        Favorite Teams:
                        NCAA- University of Illinois Fighting Illini
                        NFL- Cleveland Browns
                        MLB- St. Louis Cardinals
                        NBA- Boston Celtics
                        NHL- Chicago Blackhawks
