OUT OF DUKE, OKIE STATE, UCONN, & KANSAS...

Who out of these teams, do you think will win it all?

Feel free to choose an outsider, as I'd love to see which posters end up getting it right...

For the record, I have filled out only one March Madness Pool and I have DUKE winning it all...

Having watched DUKE play their first two games, I like my chances a lot...

Thoughts?

If St Joes is hitting the trifecta, they can win, but can't they all when hot from tri land? Ruined the game for me. I am not a fan of the 3 point shot.

I have OKIE ST. in about 69% of my bracket pools.

General-

Not a fan of the 3-point shot either.

Was a HUGE college basketball fan when there was no 3-point shot and have slowly distanced myself from the game since its inception.

I do not however disagree that it hasnt been good for the game from a fans standpoint.

Just evidence that I am not like John Q. Public as a whole.

Consider myself an outcast, no question.

UConn got the nice break getting Stanford out of the way and they are healthy for now. With those in mind I make them the favorite to win it.

Most certainly Fishhead, we are the minority. For those who like it, I salute you.

It adds nothing for me. Nothing I dislike more than to see a coach teach good fundamental basketball and score an easy layup, only for the opponent to take a quick tri and benefit more than the harder working team.

Uconn over Texas and GT over Pitt in the Final Four. GT over Uconn in the final.

Wouldn't it be funny if all 4 number one seeds got knocked out before the FINAL 4?

I can't remember when that happened last?

BOYS, JJ is heating up for Duke! LOOK OUT! Duke wins this tourney hands down! A mere walk in the park! Only team I fear is UCONN! Duke has too many weapons!! Glad I have them at 5-1.

I stepped out a little bit, I think GA Tech might have a real shot at winning this thing, I have them in my bracket at work. And in my Bet Jamaica bracket i picked Illinois but i was drunk when i filled out that one. Those are the only bracket contest i played in.

By the way bet jamaica has the best bracket contest i saw on the net with an actual chance to win a little money.

Wake

Best backcourt in the nation.

Solid frontcourt just need more consistent play and stay out of foul trouble. Paul should school Nelson this round.

Duke had a cakewalk against a Seton Hall team that played like crap. I'm not impressed. My understanding is that Duhon is not going to be healthy and he didn't look well at all to me. Reddick is still streaky and a good defender can man him up. I just don't think they're all that special. Maybe I'm missing something. Won't surprise me at all if Illinois takes them down Friday. Illinois has the superior backcourt with Brown, Williams and Head and if they can hold their own on the inside and stay out of foul trouble Duke will be yesterday's news.

UCONN is the best team in the nation, hands down...if they're healthy.

Ok. St has a tuff road with Pitt, then the St. Joe/Wake winner, if they can survive those games they get a break in the semi-finals with the Kansas bracket winner. UCONN and Duke are on a collision course in the other semi. UCONN will win the tournament.
