First of all, get out of your seats and do a crip walk, electric slide, or whatever you want, because we are back in the Big Dance!

Overall, I think we our in the toughest bracket, but I like what we can do here.

1st Rd; Airforce: The most important thing is not to overlook a team like this. I worry about this team playing down to a poorer team's level. Overall, we should take this one.

2nd Rd; Texas/Princeton: Both of these teams could be tough. Texas comes from a tough league and is solid. Remember though that Duke beat them with ease. Princeton's offense could spell trouble for our defense if they were to advance.

3rd Rd; Miss. St/Louisville/Xavier: I really don't know anything about Miss St., but they must be good if they are a number 2 see. Louisville is scary becaues Pitino is nasty when it comes to March. Meanwhile, Xavier is among the hottest teams in the country.

4th Rd; Duke/Arizona/Illinois/Cincy: I think that Duke is going to get this far. In all honesty, I really think that IF we can get this far we will beat Duke. There is no doubt in my mind about that.

A lot of good coaches in this bracket (Coach K, Lute Olsen, Bobby Huggins, Rick Pitino, Roy Williams). All I can hope is that our guys come out focused and play hard. If they do that, the rest will take care of itself.

when is the game? tarheelblue.com says 7:50 while espn says 9:40

I heard 9:40 on the radio today.

I hated our bracket at first. But, I think we can do damage here.

Let's think about it: our problems seem to come when we don't show up for a game. We've really struggled against some inferior competition this year. But, when we know we have to come to play, we usually do.

If we make it through Air Force (big IF), then we're probably staring down a tough Texas team. It would be a tough game, but one we'd have no problem getting up for. Anything beyond that would be about the same.

Let's take care of Air Force on Thursday and worry about the rest later.

Don't slug me, but when I saw the thread title, I immediately wondered if the Dancing Baby would be posted here... :laugh:

well, I am a little worried about the first game... I keep hoping these guys will come out and play like they have something prove. I like the bracket, I think the bigger the game is the better we play! Let's dance!!

I agree. The USAFA will be really pumped up to be playing us. If we don't bring our "A game" it could get scary.
