2013 NCAA Tournament

This is one of those games where I'm really not sure who to root for from a bracket point of view.

I have Louisville going out in the elite eight, but given how many people have them winning the whole thing and likely they are to do so, maybe not the worst thing in the world if they go out here for me.

They look they're starting to pull away now so probably won't matter, but just interested to what people thoughts on to those kinds of games with your bracket which are going to start getting more frequent now. Do you root against any favorite that you don't have in your Final Four regardless of what it costs you point wise, or do you just want best scenario available?

Marshall Henderson can talk trash during the game all he wants. He can even celebrate with his teammates, but each time he gets a bit crazy he's border line taunting during a game. During a game, taunting should not be accepted. But I guess if it's not going to get called...

After the game, fine if he wants to run his mouth, he can do so. I think a lot of it is blown out of proportion but still he needs to be smart about what he does and when he does it, and from what I saw during the Wisconsin game he toned it down a bit. Someone on TV said he ran his mouth on twitter that was borderline crazy, but I don't know what tweet he was talking about.

Anyway... Is it me or is Louisville complaining about every single foul called against them? Seriously you are up by 20+ points and you make everything you throw up to the hoop, just play. I have Louisville winning this game in my bracket, but man reminds me of an NBA game.

None of this should come as a shock...we ALL knew Gonzaga would be the first 1-seed to fall.

Cue the Miami Hurricane fans still crying for not getting a #1 in 3...2...1...

*crickets chirping*

Miami sports fans could care less about their local teams.

Oh we all know there aren't any fans from Miami.

The U's legion of followers are scattered throughout this great land of 'Murica.

I'm in a pool of 13 people and there are seven different choices for champion, with no one team getting more than 3 picks. I'm the only one who picked Miami FL, so I want all the other big names to lose. If you're in a much bigger pool I imagine you need all the points you can get.

Plus this year there was no site in the southeast for a "home game" factor would matter for an ACC or SEC team outside of UNC or Duke. There was no sub-regional near either Miami or even Gainesville unlike the Michigan schools had The Palace, tOSU had Dayton and Louisville had Lexington.

PLUS: In terms of coverage, the CBS may have a new "Gary McCord problem" like the did with The Masters. And his name is Doug Gottleib. He is one of the youngest analysts working the tournament, CBS has millions invested in him for radio and TV, and one year in, he has greatly criticized officiating.

Gonzaga about make an early NCAA exit AGAIN. It's been since 1999, the year that put the Zags on the map, since they've had a deep postseason run. Mark Few is so damn overrated. He's the goddamn Norv Turner of college hoops.

I mean Gonzaga could have played better, but Wichita State went on a Reggie Miler type tear down the stretch. 14 for 27 from three. That's tough to do unguarded in an empty gym let alone in a game.

It wasn't even like they were getting many great looks. Just pulling up on the wing and then buckets.

I seem to recall suggesting that Wichita State could pose a threat to Gonzaga.

Congratulations to Ohio State on their trip to Atlanta BTW.
