Heart says Duke; head says Kansas.

If Irving's back, Duke.

I had/have Clemson beating them. So....



It is strange that pretty much no one is counting those games. They should have at least used them as the tiebreaker or something. Especially the 12-seed ones. 12's win their "first rd" games pretty often.

Maybe next year or so, when people get used to the First Four..

Been thinking the same. I currently have Duke losing in the final to Kansas, but if Irving is at full strength and the transition is smooth....

I've actually picked them 3 out of the last 4 years now. 1 right (their title year; picked them over Memphis before the season even began), 1 wrong (last year), and now this year.

We'll see what happens. Looks like in this year's competition the First Four and the Final Four are the same.

Unless others join tonight or early in the morning, see you three in Houston.

Yep. Clemson is not a bad team and should have never had to play in a play-in game at all. They're better than Georgia, for instance. I had them winning both their play-in and this game.

Me too.

Ya, the Butler/ODU game should be one of the best games of the entire tournament. Both are very good.

Clemson had WVA on the ropes early. WVA stormed back. Huggins is a hoot to listen to when things are going poorly.

WVA is getting into foul trouble, lead down to as little as six w/2+ left

Butler/ODU remains tight.
