    C) The announcers for the game?
    Jim Nantz, Jim Spanarkel, and BILLY PACKER

    So, how deep can one person lodge his foot in his mouth?

    That's strange, a pretty reputable source had Nantz/Packer doing the WSU/GM game. Must've been some pretty heavy lobbying to get out of that one.

    I chose Bradley and Memphis, just because I see Bradley beating Memphis.

    But my 2nd choice is def. Gonzaga and UCLA. That's going to be one heck of a game.

    Watching UCLA blow out Gonzaga will be pretty sweet.

    Saying Witchita State and GM is the best game to watch is stupid. Neither team is a threat to win the NC so knock yourselves out.

    Watching Shelden Williams and Big Baby battle it out is probably the best matchup that you'll see in the tourney so I went with that, and watching Tyrus Thomas and Josh McRoberts, two guys with top 5 potential is an added bonus. Nova/BC and UF/GU will be pretty good too.

    I don't think Duke or LSU will win the National Championship either.

    UCLA cant even beat UW, what makes them think that they will blow out Zaga?

    GM beat UNC which to me should be something to keep an eye on cause i bet some people had UNC going deep in the tourney. Wich St has been ranked before and could give some teams some trouble later on. They pounded the Hall and Beat 2nd seeded Tennessee (still ranked, still good, yet inconsistent).

    I went with Ben Howlands Defensive Schemes vs Adam Morrisons Dymanic O for the best matchup. But then again the last time UConn and UW hooked up. ****in Rip Hamilton and his horizontal jumper to win it.

    Uhh, so who does then? UConn? LSU only lost them by one in Storrs. And Duke is Duke. Those teams have as much of a chance as anyone.

    Bradley and Memphis for me. Bradley has a legit shot and both teams are athletic and have some NBA potential. I likey. And of course Packer and Nantz aren't doing the Mason game... they are gonna be as far away from the Mid-Majors as possible (look at first round games) and here with 2 Big East, 1 ACC, 1 SEC.

    Circular logic aside, Mr Mims, you have yet to provide a single credible reason why you are, in fact, hot.

    You need to fix your Husky Tracker, Element. Geez. UConn getting not respect for what they did to use with Kalid El-Amina and Rip Hamilton (who killed the Sonics the other night.

    Porter, you are such a west coast whore.

    Gonzaga sucks, and Adam Morrison can choke a dick. I am sick of hearing about him.

    I voted for Nova/BC, but the UF/GT game should be hella fun. Duke/LSU, I had a chance to go to that game, but didn't. I think Duke will win by a lot, though. John Brady sucks.
