Maybe it'll be different when they play real competition. Oh that's right, they have a cakewalk to the final four while Kansas, UCLA, OSU, Texas A&M, UNC, Georgetown and Texas are all beating up on each other.Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615862536072857322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-63095417622820715482007-03-16T23:00:00.000-04:002007-03-16T23:00:00.000-04:00Yeah, you're right, dulton.

Even Florida was getting manhandled by Jackson St. for a while. We'll see how the rest of the game plays out - I'm just hoping Arkansas wins, that was the 12/5 upset I was predicting in my bracket, but I guess it's no big deal, Texas is beating whoever wins anyhow.Lowlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01009250887625614397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-36739663235034251052007-03-16T22:51:00.000-04:002007-03-16T22:51:00.000-04:00more importantly, alot of these games are alot clo...more importantly, alot of these games are alot closer than people think. I can see all the complaining because people look at the box score and see wisconsin/maryland/texas/UNLV win big, for a good 35 minutes of the game this was not the case at all. These GAMES have been great, with most of the low seeds hanging in, or leading for most of the game, and just having the game get out of hand at the end. so the results may seem dull and uncompetitive, but for as long as i can remember, i don't think i've seen this many competitive games in the first round, upsets or not.Dultonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393859263854311723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-17139837075946044882007-03-16T22:01:00.000-04:002007-03-16T22:01:00.000-04:00VTech scores a ton to come back and win.

I think all these naysayers out there can shut up when we get to see Butler-Maryland, UNC-MSU, Winthrop-Oregon which seem to be interesting match-ups.<BR/><BR/>I guess this begs the question - would you rather have a bunch of upsets the first four days and occassionaly have a George Mason slip into the Final Four OR have a pretty ho-hum first two rounds with exciting top-tier team matchups later in the tournament? I'm just saying I think I'm more excited about the possible match-ups later on in the tournament than I would have if Old Dominion, Albany and A&M-CC would have advanced.Lowlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01009250887625614397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-50861830865344309052007-03-16T18:47:00.000-04:002007-03-16T18:47:00.000-04:00OMFG!
