Haha, that's great, and congrats JJ.

I'm really looking forward to this tourny, but ASU got ROBBED. Nova shouldn't have gotten in over the Sun Devils, nor should Arizona have (ASU was 2-0 vs. U of A, and Arizona gets in?)

As of now, I got UNC, Georgetown, Memphis, UCLA right now to make the Final Four.

Who do you guys got?

My final four is a little crazy. Put it this way, I've got two #1's and a 6 & 7 seed.

Cal State Who? Fullerton that's who! I remember seeing those T-shirts around Orange County after they made it fairly deep in the 1978 tournament. The Titans beat USF when they had Bill Cartwright and New Mexico who featured Michael Cooper in some upset wins. Maybe they can repeat the Cinderella story again.

Dogggg...don't give away your age like that!! :wink: Just playin'. But yep, it was the Elite Eight we made it to back in '78, lost by 3 at the buzzer that kept CSUF from going to the Final Four. Funny thing, the 1978 team was reunited this year at our homecoming game. Destiny. It gots ta be.

^^Haha I would love to see that matchup. My best friend goes to SC so if somehow we get past Wisconsin and end up seeing the Trojans...IT WOULD BE ON!!


OJ Mayo would get shut down too. Overrated! haha

At least some of your peoples schools go in. My Penn State Nittany Lions didn't make it past the first round of the Big Ten tournament. We lost to Illinois on a last second shot. We have a lot of good freshman. Remember the name Talor Battle, Penn State will be dancing within the next few seasons.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!
