So who is following the tourney? Any of you involved in any pools? They have cracked down on our office pools so you have to do them away from work. A large group of guys from work just go down to Vegas every year drink, bet on the games, and do other gambling.

I've seen some great first round games. The second round starts today. I'd like to see the Cougs beat the Leprechauns. It should be a good game.

Pac 10 didn't fair so well but there have been some standout games. Western Kentucky beating Drake in overtime as time expired definitely takes the cake for me right now.

It has been a great tournament so far. My bracket, is pretty well hashed by all the upsets, but so is most everyone else's. The games have been really fun to watch as usual.

My office does a pool $5 per head, and then the company matches the pot. Last year the secretary won it, the year before the artistic guy who thinks hackey sack is a sport won it. Neither of them knew anything about the teams, or the tournament.

Dude,
Hacky is not a sport?
Out of all sporting events NCAA Tourney IMHO is the best. The Pac-10
is holding it's own. 3 teams to sweet 16.

Is anyone going to beat Kansas? I have them as my final pick.

GO COUGS!!!

I have the Gayhawks too. We have a K-State guy in our office, and we have learned that is their nickname.

RR - Cougs look solid. This year it seems like the defensive teams UCLA, WSU, UNC etc. are holding a distinct advantage. The 3-point shooting teams are struggling Duke, Oregon etc.

How about those COUGS!

My favorite time of year......

WSU played great.....really looking forward to the WSU/UNC game. Unlike most people, I think the Heels are certainly beatable, and I can't think of a better team to give them a run for their money. Duke went into Chapel Hill and kicked their ass earlier in the year and the Dukies aren't that good. The only thing that worries me is the travel.....UNC took a bus to the opening round games and will do the same to Charlotte. They are well rested....

Watching Stephen Curry from Davidson light up the Zags and Georgetown is the highlight of the tourney so far....what a stud.

As long as you didn't have Georgetown and Duke in the Final Four your bracket still look okay.

Curry has been so fun to watch.

Yeah the WSU - UNC matchup is a big one, I can't wait.. WSU plays really good team defense, but I have a feeling that foul trouble is going to be an issue. I watched the Duke - UNC game where Duke won, and they could not miss a 3 pointer. It will take a big game out of Lowe and Weaver to get through UNC. Phsycho T is going to cause problems, Baynes hasn't seen that kind of speed and aggressiveness down low yet this year. I still wouldn't bet against the cougs.

If we play like we did vs Notre Dame we should beat UNC

UNC will CRUSH the cougs

Tarheels will thump them Coug's

Notre Dame is NO WHERE NEAR UNC....Your gonna have to play like you beat ND and then some more.
I'm all for seeing upsets, but a team that's averaging 100+ in the first two games? cougs better score A LOT if they want a chance....

Would that be similar to the thumpin the cougs gave the dogs????????????

My bracket is goin' good. I have the most available points left in our pool. I "coug" my bracket if the the cougs "coug" the game. I win the whole shebang when NC loses.

Theres a lotta coug haters on this board

I guess if I was a Husky fan upset about the way the Cougars beat up on their teams all year I would have a little animosity as well.

I agree they are good but look who they played number 16 Mount Saint Marys and number 9 Arkansas. We need to play good offense but the D will be the key. Notre Dame had one of the best offenses in the tourney averaging over 80 points per game, the cougs held them to 41.

They didn't get a number one seed for nothing. Thats why they got two games to lay into opponents and completely destroy them...Cuz they are the #1 team in the land...

They are not the number one team in the land, the BCS thinks they are the top team compared to other teams in their league. You cant assume that all leagues are as good or comparable to the pac 10.
