If UNCA beats Syracuse I quit.

I will spit on my bracket and quit.

Hoping NC State upsets Georgetown here, and that Purdue upsets Kansas tonight. It will ruin my bracket even more but at this point I don't care. Duke, Mizzou, and Michigan proved that brackets are for crap this March.

I think Purdue stands a better chance against NC State's game than they do G-Town's, but I honestly think Purdue is going to get humiliated against Kansas anyway.

I already feel sorry for Purdue, but there's not been a long break too.

My bracket is ok so far, not particularly good though, I think Mizzou losing screwed almost everyone...It was nice to see Syracuse look like a real team yesterday for the first time in about a month. Even with Fab they hadn't shot the ball like that for a long time. Wisconsin is going to be a slow, tough game but I'm hoping their confidence grows alot after that win yesterday and we get rolling.

Wisco is such a great matchup for Syracuse, but especially with the way they played their second game I think the Orange will come out with the W

In terms of athleticism there is no way the Badgers can match us. But they can win if they take the air out of the ball and prevent the Cuse from getting out into transition and getting into a flow offensively, something the Badgers definitely have been known to do. If they can force Syracuse to beat them by making shots in the half court set in a low scoring game they have a good chance to win.

That said I think Syracuse is going to be able to impose their pace on the game and win.

Utterly heartbroken.

My deepest condolences Matty. They played a great game, sucks that someone had to lose both teams played really hard. Wow.

That was ours. They swept that out from underneath us.

In all honesty Lewis Jackson lost us that game. Hurts me so badly to say so because he's my favorite on the team. That bullshit dribbling for 30 seconds running out the shot clock when you're only within a point is the dumbest move. Gives you absolutely no time to recover when Kansas did what they did. I would be SHOCKED if that were the play Painter called for during the timeout.

But still....Kansas barely "came back" at all. They crept up and crept up, and even when they took the lead by a point, we stole it right back. For them to take that game away is just awful.

Ya, that possession was awful. Kansas made some adjustments and played better defense in the second half as well.

Speaking of defense this Florida State Cincinnati game is ridiculously ugly

Syracuse game starting in a bit over an hour. SOOO nervous. Ohio State really scares me we're going to need a great effort to pull it out. I'm going to be inconsolable if we lose.

I'll be rooting for ya, Brian. Did you see UNC almost get beat by the other Ohio last night?! Was quite a game, shame it had to go into overtime at all- Ohio should have had it.

UNC is in my Final Four, but I'll take the upset over my bracket at this point.
