Want to win? cyberEasy. Butler

Will win? How can u go against Make Me Puke, altho I like Coach K.

Butler. I like to see the underdogs win. I just wish it was NIU.

+1. Indy will go nuts if the Bulldogs go all the way.

The last team I want to win is Duke. I absolutely detest them and their coach. Unfortunately, I see them winning it all.

As long as duke gets to the championship game, I'll be $100 richer. I'd like a Butler-Duke matchup with Butler winning it all.

You will be $100 richer. I just hope that whoever Duke plays wipes their arses all over the court. If Duke is in it, I will not watch the game because I cannot stand them and their coach.

ANYBODY but Duke!

I think Michigan State will win, but like most people, I want Butler to win. They aren't anywhere near as subversive a presence as George Mason was (Butler is more Gonzaga than Gonzaga is. They have the quality but not the mythology)- but it's still a lot of fun to have a program from outside the power conferences in there.

Duke will probably win. I want Butler. Anybody but Michigan State.

I kind of have issues with 3 of the 4 coaches. At least 2 are A holes.

1. Butler - underdog
2. Michigan State - Midwest/big ten

I hope a Butler WVU championship game is in the works for Monday.

I love the fact that Butler is still making their players go to class today and Friday, even though they have walk through practices and everything. Maybe the first time ever in NCAA history that players are going to class before the biggest game of their lives?

A bit off topic, but is Chicago ever going to have the Big10 tourney or NCAA games return to the Allstate or UC? Seems like its been quite a long-time since either one of those occurred.

I hate both coaches in the WV Vs. Duke Game. Huggins is a scum and Coach K is a phony. I hope Butler wins it all. It gives hope to the little guys.

I heard first round games will be at UC next year.

One year, when he lost a few players early to the NBA, he called up their parents and told the the Fd him.

Hm never heard that. Even if true, maybe they did f him over. Maybe they committed to being there 2, 3, or even 4 years and Duke gave them scholarships to play basketball under the assumption they wouldn't bail on the program and ruin graduation rates. Maybe Coach K really wanted them to graduate and recruited them with the knowledge that they were committed to doing so.

All I know is that he attended West Point, served for 5 years in the US Army, has coached at Duke for 30 years, coached the USA olympic team (the NBA players said a LOT of good things about him), and as far as I know, boasts a good graduation rate.

1. Butler
2. Duke

Want: Michigan State
Think: With a healthy point guard, I'd take West Virginia but without him I think Duke beats them then knocks off the Butler/MSU winner for the title.

Order of preference:

1) Butler
2) WVU
3) Massive power outage to never allow tournament to finish
4) Duke
5) Rash of the measles going through Indy to cancel tournament
6) Tornado causing structural damage to basketball facility to prevent tournament from finishing
7) Michigan State

WEST VIRGINIA! If they win, I get to slap my roommate. I picked them at the beginning of the tourny. The deal was we could pick one team that wasn't a number 1 seed for our slap bet. He picked Georgetown. (Thanks Ohio!)

THe Butler did it again.
