Thanks, LB. I didn't have high hopes for them, so I guess that's not much of a surprise. My 3 favorites - Wake Forest, Xavier and Illinois - are all through to next weekend, which is a first for me. Illinois gets Duke next, so I've got that one circled on my calendar.

I'm on the road, so I didn't get to post this before now, but I'm so bummed about Maryland, but I still LOVE them! GO TERPS forever!! P.S. -- A little trivia -- when I was in college (at U of MD), I was a statistician for the men's basketball team. So I feel like somehow I was a "part" of the team!

Yankee- by next week, every one at MD will be ok with the year and thrilled that we won the ACC tournament, which to some is just as important as the national championship- so they did have a great year and the possibility of 3 more consecutive ones if all the freshmen stay, as they will with such a great coach and system in place.

The right side of my bracket is totally erased after the elite eight - and the left side is not that much better.

Mary, I had a Kentucky/Duke final also. Oh well! Nevertheless, with Carolina and Gonzaga gone, I'm back to rooting for DOOK to win. Sorry DOOK haters.

BYE WAKE FOREST GUMPS!! Well, that loss was depressing. Luckily, St Joe's has some uniquely ugly players, so I was able to bear Wake's defeat by making fun of that. I still have Xavier and Illinois. GO MUSKETEERS!! GO FIGHTIN" ILLINI!!

Sorry, Sbw. I believe the Cowboys play those physically repellent Cro Magnons from St. Joe's next, so I'll be pulling for them.

I'm a realist, LB. As much as I pray to the gods of basketball nightly that Xavier or Illinois or any five breathing souls on a hard court will beat DOOK, I have come to realize that my burden in life is to eternally hope to see it happen only to have my hopes cruelly dashed. I still remember Christian Laettner some years ago making some physically impossible shot when I had already mentally started celebrating there demise, a shot that propelled them to victory and the eventual title. It has left me a mere husk of a man and I refuse to bet against them anymore.

and look where Christian Laettner is today - he is not even worthy of being called a man - and is it really good to have that one shot as your golden moment when you actually make the nba and want a career?? so
