Kansas vs Baylor looks to be the premier game today. Kansas has been winning close games as of late. I think they lose this one.
It bites that Illinois vs Iowa is on at the same time. I guess that I will be pushing the back button a lot.

I guess that I will be pushing the back button a lot. 67-65 Kansas. Fun times ahead. Looks like this is a year any # of teams can win it. Despite being undefeated - and I'm happy for them - and I hope they make a deep run in the tournament - not even Gonzaga scares me being a 'Nova fan.

I am interested to see how Wisconsin responds today after back-to-back loses.

I think they're going to have to go on a nice little run from now until the end of the season to make it in.

Four as of right now, but Michigan St., Minnesota, and especially Michigan still have a shot.

I see MSU lost Harris for the season. They just can't catch a break. It's gonna be tough for them to make the dance now.

Bad loss for Syracuse tonight at Georgia Tech. I don't know if they will make the tournament now, as they still have to play Duke and Louisville. It's a shame, as Boeheim's teams can frequently make runs in the tournament as they did last year.

It's a shame, as Boeheim's teams can frequently make runs in the tournament as they did last year. 3 Top 25 Games tonight. Virginia, FSU and West Virginia all in play tonight. Is this going to be another year when Virginia disappoints in the tourney? FSU is a huge team - finally got to see them a couple of weeks back - I'm sure they pose some matchup problems come tourney time but it looks like they've been taking a nosedive as of late.

FSU is a big team and they are good, but I'm not sure if they have enough scorers to make it to the Final Four. Same with Virginia, they are well coached and play great defense but their offense can just go dead at times, as we saw Saturday at UNC

Anyone see Huggy Bear go down right before halftime in Texas-WVU? Scary moment, I was surprised he managed to come back out for the second half. Another nice win for the Mountaineers, they are a very strong team, very aggressive and deep and I like how they play. Definite Final Four contender.

West Virgina hasn't impressed me and in my estimation they will be done in the Sweet 16 if not before.

Four as of right now, but Michigan St., Minnesota, and especially Michigan still have a shot. I've got to add Wisconsin, Purdue, Maryland, Northwestern, and Minnesota above any Michigan team as they stand now. Overall, I think Wisconsin, Purdue, and Minnesota get in. Northwestern/Michigan/Michigan State are bubble

Texas isn't very good this year, but WVU has impressed me. They beat Kansas and Baylor soundly, and almost beat Kansas at the Phog. Why hasn't WVU impressed you?

They have a tendency to play to the level of their competition. They have lost to some very bad teams. No way the make it to the Final Four.

I was talking about WVU. Yes, Maryland is still ranked @ 24. but they won't make the Final Four either. I don't agree that they are on the bubble though.

Florida-South Carolina was the biggest game last night, Gators got another dominant win and have now won 9 straight. Gators were lighting it up from beyond the arc, I think overall their success will depend on how much inside play they can get since their best big guy is down for the year. I think the Gators are definitely the best team out of the SEC.
Indiana lost to Iowa, looks like the Hoosiers are out of it now. Think Crean is on the hot seat?

I agree, Crean has always been overrated and it seems that the Hoosiers disappoint regularly.
Speaking of nuts, have you heard from him? I hope he joins this board.
