Is this the most open tournament ever?

This is a crap shoot. I'd love to hear who people are picking to win it all. Vegas odds are crazy. The lowest odds are 6-1 and that is for the school that the NCAA seeded as the 7th best team. The Western schools are getting no respect: Gonzaga and Arizona are 10-1 and UCLA is 12-1. Louisville is 14-1 and I'm hearing their name being thrown around. There is definitely money to be made.

I was feeling pretty good about UNC until this past weekend. Can Duke get by Nova. They will most likely be favored in that game. I hate to pick Duke because I like the Western schools. However we know their past history. Purdue is the #1 B1G school at 30-1. What a fricken joke. Do we just pick all the B1G's to lose in the first round.

Of course it's a huge shame we are not in it but I don't understand people who say they won't watch it now. It's an incredible sporting event. Can't wait for Thursday.

If Berry doesn't get into foul trouble, I think Carolina beats Duke by double digits in that game...

I like Carolina...I think they are better this year than they were last year...

But Berry cannot get into foul trouble...

I think a UNC - Duke final is a real possibility. Nirvana for Dick Vitale

Title comes from
North Carolina /Arizona/Duke/ Villanova/UCLA

UNC got screwed. They have the worst odds to make the FF out of any 1 seed. That's a brutal region. I think Nova is the favorite again.

Carolina has a cakewalk to the Elite 8. Then they get a tough E8 matchup versus UCLA or Kentucky.

Lol I haven't seen the bracket yet.

If - IF - Lousiville can make FT's I think they are going to be a tough out. Most consistent on D and the glass. Sadly the future of all these teams relies on who is wearing the stripes and how they choose to call the game.

For sure. I don't think they have THAT hard a path as well. They have the frontcourt players and size to give Kansas problems if they can get past Michigan. That Michigan-Oklahoma St should be interesting. Probably very high scoring! I have Michigan but wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys blitz them early then hang on.
