I say again Go DUKE!!!

We'll see how Duke fares in their last regular season game @ North Carolina...good luck with that.

The last time they met was an AMAZING game.... Once again Coach K has a "rebuilding season" and delivers an outstanding team. Maybe not a championship but most definitely a Final Four spot!

If they don't have any speedbumps in their bracket that is...

I graduated from an ACC University, so of course, I am a big fan of March Madness!

The only game I've seen this year was this weekend's North Carolina/U Conn game. Good stuff, seems like NC wore them out more than anything.

UConn has been a powerhouse in the past several years. Anyways March is always a fun time

No cookies for the billygoat! We must (in this house at least Cheer on our beloved Blue Devils!)

Illinois is going down. You heard it right.

They're going down in the elite eight, maybe in the final four depending on how the brackets unfold.

KU and UK are overrated this year in my humble opinion, but they are always dangerous come tourney time...

Jamie who do you think is going to win on the mens and womens side?

[The Grovers Corners Yenta]

UCONN WOMEN HUSKIES

[Kimmygonbefamous]

Posted: 2/17/05 at 6:28pm

GO UCONN!!!!

God, do I love the Huskies...although they have lost some of their sparkle without Taurasi or Okafor on their respective teams...still...

GO UCONN!!! (especially the Lady Huskies)

My anut works at Uconn and she knows alot of the players. Uconn will go to the Big dance but much like Duke it's a rebulding year for them. I gave up hope on my local college bball team (Umass)a long time ago but I was shocked when they beat the Uconn mens team a few months ago.

billygoat -
That's a toughy, I really can't give a solid opinion until the brackets come out. There isn't a team this year who can beat anyone else, it's going to depend on match ups a lot this year.

For the women I have to say Stanford, because I grew up there and can't betray them by even thinking anything else...

For the men, I think the team to beat is UNC...but they can be beaten by the right team.

KU and Duke will be very dangerous, as will Wake.
MSU may make some noise, and never count out those sneaky UA buggers...they can run with anyone.
And like I said before, the usuals will be a pain to beat too.
(UK, SU, etc.)
