All 4 of the 4 seeds advanced....3 1's, 3 2's and 3 3's...so not really that bad of a seeding job.

2 7's, 1 8 and 1 11 seed...so I guess that makes X the Cinderella....

If this was a football bracket, the natty would be on the platter.

 

[FORKWDEVIL]

Kansas takes it all.

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Kansas takes it all.

Yeah they looked the most impressive so far, even with a lack of offensive playcalling. You have a blue chip player that hustles and plays defense and an elite SR PG.

Kansas takes it all.

Purdue beats em

 

[Fountain City Blues]

If Kansas gets past Purdue, things get real interesting.

I know no one cares about conferences but just for completeness:

SEC - 3 teams
B12 - 3
B1G - 3
P12 - 3
ACC - 1

Hard to believe the ACC had 10 teams, if it weren't for Arkansas gagging they'd have none

Kansas looks pretty unstoppable right now. Should be interesting matchup with the twin towers Thursday.

That's what I was thinking. Perception/reputation had the SEC as horrible and the ACC as the cat's meow! Perception/reputation is more bullshit than reality IMHO.

I didn't think Gonzaga took care of the basketball very well in the Northwestern game. If they don't improve that, it'll be a long day against the couch burners.

I've been thinking West Virginia had a pretty manageable bracket to get to the FF. I don't think they'd beat Kansas but I'd like to see that all-Big12 Final

Go Bucky

Go Bucky

That's going to be a molly-whomper of a game on Friday...I'd lean on Wisky at this point but should be a close one.

Might as well make some picks while we're here, right?

Hey, c'mon now. Those couches sat on a porch thru rain, sleet, and snow for better near several decades before they decided to win something and burn 'em.

Or Butler pulling another Butler.
