      I love watching WK play. Can the brackets be amended? Say, trade them with - well, how about Texas?

        It is tough. I want WKU to win, but not against us.
        When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep - not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

            WKU likes the 3's---must be a decent team to have knocked off Louisville this season.

            I'm kinda liking the idea of playing Illinois so far, but let's see the 2nd half first.

              "WKU likes the 3's---must be a decent team to have knocked off Louisville this season." It sure looks like they got the goods to beat soem very good teams.

                    I am getting physically sick watching the toppers...

                    they are looking a little too good.. Are we gonna need to fire up the "abandon the zone, scheme up a junk defense" conversation... Yikes, I'm gonna go nuts waiting until saturday.

                      I picked them to win this game in my bracket - WKU is good, no question. But man I'd be nervous facing them - they very well might shoot us out of the gym with our 3-pt D.

                        Maybe I'm missing something here. But it looks like WKU is a better team than Illinois? I haven't seen either play this year, but I'm guessing that the missing injured guard for Illinois is hurting their game? I see the kinds of things in WKU's games that seem to give the Zags fits---scrappy, shooting the 3's, in your face D, etc. Guess the final score may prove me wrong.

                          Careful. Don't want them to go all Syracuse on GU.

                          I am afraid of the Red Blob. The Red Blob knows how to play with the cliche 'controlled chaos'. It looks like they are just playing loose and having fun. They don't seem like they run set plays but I would venture to guess that this is exactly what they do. They are fast and athletic. I think Akron was able to impose their game for quite a while and the Red Blob plays like GU's style but nonetheless, the Red Blob is to be feared.

                            WKU does look good. That Mendez-Valdez is going to annoy all of us all night long. I think our best bet is that they like to get out and run and I think we will do that better than they can.

                              Plus no matter what happens, another mid-major will be out. I want as many mids as possible to advance so the committee can eat their stupid BCS bias.
