Ugly game so far. Well for UNC at least.

Not even close.

There has never been an easier draw to the Final Four than 16, 9, 12, 11.

I'm not just talking about this year. Look back the past 7-8 years how many games they've lost as the higher seed. Kansas also won a title 4 years ago....

Big picture I agree, but if you're going big picture you have back to back first round exits at KU at the hands of Bucknell and Bradley, UNI last year in the 2nd round, and failing to reach the Final Four this year with the easiest road ever.

Not to say OSU hasn't had its share of troubles to, but to be a basketball school built upon such rich tradition as KU is, to have the flameouts they do is far worse for them than OSU who is a football school anyway.

20 brackets on ESPN had VCU, Butler, and UCONN in the final four.

Not for long, after the NCAA infractions committee gets done with them they will be lucky to be relevant for the next 5 years or so.

I'm sure Tressel will resign and things won't be nearly as bad as people are thinking.

Yeah you really couldn't have picked VCU and expected to win a pool.

Yeah, I could see Butler just because of last year, I could see UConn because of how they were playing, but to pick VCU, much less VCU with Butler and UConn is just crazy. And you just know some of the brackets are from people who picked because of the how the team mascots look or something ridiculous.

True and those people are the ones who seem to win it by picking favorite colors or like you said mascots.

Roy should have taken Henson out with that 2nd foul. SMH.

Kentucky playing really well right now, only hope is that they go cold from 3 in the 2nd half.
