Now how about them Wash. Huskies eh? Isaiah Thomas is doing great. His dad should be proud of him.

Well, I enjoyed my run in first place while it lasted. Kansas just killed me.
I don't even care. I am so happy for the kids at UNI. What a game.

Yep, really happy for UNI. Busts up my brackets big time (I had a UK / KU final, with UK winning), but oh well! I'm loving all the upsets this year. I got kind of bored with the predictability of the tournaments of the past few years.
Washington is slicing and dicing everyone! I loathe those guys -- showboating, classless street-ballers -- but their success is reflecting well on the Pac-10.

That would be a major story if St. Mary's won it all. Have they won it all in the old days like Stanford, Cal, or USF? I don't recall any recent wins in my life. St. Mary's would be great for the SF area. Cal and Stanford are big schools, so they are a lot of things to a lot of people, most notably academics and sports.
But when I think of St. Mary's, it's a small school which is thought of as a rigorous academic school who does not look past its toughness to coddle athletes like the other two have alleged to have done many a time. Now with a sweet 16 showing or better, and a few followups in the future, they can evolve into a NCAA powerhouse. This is so cool for them to finally reach this important peak.
Any current or former NBA pros from St. Mary's?
My bracket is toast, but this is great. I'm a football guy at heart, but these upsets make the tournament so much fun to watch. It's so much better than football where if you lose a game or two during the regular season, your hopes for title contention are essentially gone. Underdogs here can have a great 2 weeks and vie for the title. I don't mind my bracket being done just for this kind of excitement.
No need...
Next year? I root against Kansas....
That's why. I'm with you!
Also, there's a Missouri grad in our family now.
No, St. Mary's never won it all. It's been a long time for Stanford, Cal, and USF, as well.
Can't think of any besides rookie Patty Mills. Don't know if that kid "Big Continent" Bryant ever got any time; he was 7'2" and 300 pounds and actually pretty mobile for his size, but his constant foot problems kept his career from taking off.
Bullocks? I remember that department store!
7'2" is not a bad height to start out at. Sometimes Shaq looks less than mobile but somehow he gets the points or enough to keep him employed.
I still maintain Syracuse will win it all this year. I've got Syracuse vs West Virginia in the final.

Pretty Good article about March Madness. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/366769-ncaa-march-madness-boiler-uphummel-less-purdue-advances-to-sweet-16
Read all of his articles. They are pretty good about the tournament.

Cornell has done well. So have the Washington Huskies. I think they have a chance to beat W. Virginia.
I've got KSU beating Syracuse.
This is shocking and the ultimate Cinderella story of this tournament. Cornell? Basketball? #12 seed in the sweet 16?
