they'll do well to make it past USC in the second round...if they get to sweet sixteen G-town will beat them easily....I can't see them beating USC to be honest...realistically they can't handle a running high tempo game and I predict OJ Mayo will light them up

You obviously haven't been following Wisconsin. They weren't good at the start of the year but Bo's got them solid now. Doubt they'll go all the way though. I think they could handle Georgetown but not Kansas. And USC is nothing. Neither is UCLA. UConn could go deep. They have the two best big men in college basketball this year.

I find the "experts" (used loosely) and most everyone rates teams on "hotshot" players. The teams that go the farthest are the best coached. Duke, UNC, Kansas and Wisconsin have great coaches. Teams that are used to scoring 90 points a game won't know what to do when they hit Wisconsin. They rate UW low because they aren't flashy. Dunks, ally-oops don't win games.

... as a 3 seed in the same region as Georgetown and Kansas, probably not that many. I really thought of taking them over Georgetown, and with the Jayhawks performance over the last 3 years, there may be alot of people looking for another pick to go to the Final 4 in that Region. Even on KU's half of the region, I have Clemson losing to Kansas. I even contemplated taking Siena over the 4 seed Vanderbilt. That is possibly the weakest conference IMO.

... also, the 16 and 8 will be in Detroit, which will likely play to Wisconsin's advantage.

edit 1 - In my pool of about 50 people, 65% have them winning the first two, 25% have them winning the third. Because I did not pick them to win the 3rd, and cannot see how many picked them to win the fourth and going to the final four. However only 59% have KU going to the Final 4, pretty low for a 1 seed.

edit 2 - actually doing the math, 25% have Georgtown in the Final 4, so I would venture to guess about 12-15% have Wisconsin

We pick up 3 channels running the tournament, all 3 are running Mich St and Temple. No real surprise there. Let the games begin.

edit 1 - 13-3 KU, 5 minutes in

BTW, I found if they don't run your game on your network, NCAA Sports and CBSSportsline have on demand viewing of the games at no costs.
NCAA March Madness on Demand - NCAA.com

I got excited, plus the last one was for you guys and not me

I will probably calm down now that KU is safely on to the second round.

That was a fantastic game, I can't believe they pulled that one out.

None of my upsets panned out, and not looking to good in the standings. Although that is the great part on having picked Kansas. Out of about 50 people, only 3 picked Kansas. Me, my wife, and one other guy. Both my wife and the other guy have pretty close brackets, although they both picked Duke to go to the Final 4 and were almost toast yesterday.

I have Kansas playing Texas in the Championship, no one has Texas. So none of my other picks likely even matter at this point because it is a staggered poll. From the looks of it, if Kansas and Texas meet in San Antonio, I will likely win. If Kansas and Memphis meet, it will be between my wife and the other guy. Any other result, other than Kansas, and I could care less
