Anybody watching the NCAA Tournament this year?

I haven't watched any NCAA basketball this year, but the tournament is usually fun to watch. Who are the hot teams or favorites?

PS85: I know you are a Wildcats fan. How are they this year? Unfortunately, Illinois was not very good. They made it to the Big Ten title game but lost to Wisconsin. That was their only hope of making the tournament this year.

Of course I am watching the tournament! Most people think it's either UNC or Memphis for the championship this year, but I'm all for crazy upsets.

And UD were kept out of the tournament by *this close* this year.

Pretty bad. Not having Lute all season didn't help. We got knocked out last night in the first round by West Virginia, and we finished the season a pretty paltry 19-15. We barely made the tournament at all, but we still made it for the 24th year in the row, which is the longest current streak, so that was still cool I guess. I don't really follow NCAA all that much, but it's my alma matter so I try

That's cool. I didn't know if you still followed it or not. Is Lute coming back next season?

And

at UConn losing to San Diego. I love the upsets.

He says so, yes.

Me too. George Mason getting to the Final Four 2 years ago was the coolest thing I can ever remember happening in college sports. It would be great if one of these 12/13 seeds that kicked ass in the first round could make it that far again... Go Siena!

I pay attention to what Kansas does and that's about it, until it gets down to the final four.

That was totally awesome. I'd like to see Western Kentucky be this year's George Mason though, because I hate Drake because they kept Southern Illinois out of the tournament.
