Is about to make my bracket nice for picking them as my Cinderella this year to hit the elite 8. Love watching this team play.

Hell ya. Picked them elite 8 also for one main reason. Reynolds is the most overrated player in college basketball.

Some of these upsets have been unpredictable flukes, but I give you props for picking this one. Saint Mary's just looked like the better team.

I watched them play a couple of times on tv over the last few weeks and loved the way they play. Samhan is a beast and Allen is servicable size. They have gritty guards, but if they had a couple swing guys with superior athletic talent they could be a contender. Either way I like their chances against a weak 3 seed in Baylor or ODU.

I was close to picking this upset but convinced myself not to, stupid me. They could be the next George Mason in that weak ass bracket.

Loved St. Mary's until I saw their draw. Thought for sure Villanova would win with ease. Maybe Villanova with Scotty Reynolds, but whomever is impersonating Reynolds, sucks... Should have known. You called it on 'nova. Dumb.
You're absolutely correct at St. Mary's. They have equal balance in scoring inside and outside, have multiple three-point shooters and can play big and small. With Samhan out, they played very well in each of their first two games. Versus bigger teams this could be a problem, but they really don't play that type of team in this bracket. Baylor is the closest, but they don't have great depth upfront.

Northern Iowa up 7-2 on Kansas early :lol, there's an upset I'd love to see

Prob not gonna happen this game but IMO the winner of Maryland Michigan State (Michigan State in particular) has a great chance at beating Kansas. They seem vulnerable.

I'm officially on the Cal, Washington, BYU, Gonzaga and St. Mary's bandwagons... I want them all to advance and screw up everyone's brackets (including my own). WEST COAST!

I'll be on that boat if my bracket gets screwed up. Even though I had nova (yeah I tried to play it safe) and Georgetown in the final four my bracket has a great shot at winning its pool if Kansas continues this suckage. Only person with a Syracuse vs. Kentucky finals

College Basketball isn't my favorite sport, but watching this Huskies team is damn fun.

It is good for the Pac-10 that the two teams they have in there are making noise. Their bad non-conference play early in the season was overblown given how young a lot of their teams are.

Great job St.mary's. I did not expect it.

Looks like Aggies and Baylor have great chance now to play for Final 4.

With Villanova out, and Aggies playing well enough to beat Purdue and Duke, who are not a good road team(Reliant Stadium showdown with Aggies), it is a very good possibility of being an all Big 12 showdown in South regional.

No way A&M beats Duke.

2-15 fg then 2-11 fg in the tourney. Horrible.

They're going down vs. Baylor...the frontline is too big and too athletic for Samhan to dominate like he has early in the tourney.

Well apparently I was a bit off on them beating Baylor. Oh well. Good run. Baylor looks great.

Looked more like D2 St. Mary's (Texas) out there tonight than the team that beat Villanova.

They are just over-matched, and then lost confidence after getting off to a big deficit.
