Seeing someone hang yet another banner isn't too exciting.

Wisconsin hasn't hung one since before Pearl Harbor was bombed, before the NCAA tournament even meant anything. That would be something different.

That said, I do hope we see the day when some complete unknown marches all the way to win the Final. Even when Butler got there, they had 15 years of pedigree and Tournament appearances.

Exactly. Watching the little guys win is the best part of college sports.

Underdogs make sports in general fun. Just keep in mind how exciting the World Series was with the Royals in it. Way more exciting than someone like the Red Sox.

I edited my post though.

I caught that. I do get the history of Kentucky, but unless it's one of the two schools I root for winning it, then I'd rather see cinderella every year. There are around 350 schools in D1. That's a quite a few lifetimes worth of interesting matches without ever involving a traditional power.

Yeah, some fresh blood is good every now and then but so is watching the traditional powers to balance it out.

You picked wrong tonight son.

Yes I did too but I will still end up winning my pool while at the same time getting to see Wisconsin knock out Kentucky. The Big Ten ended up being the bane of the SEC this year.

I didn't pick anything, I said I want UK to win but wouldn't mind seeing them go down as well.

1. Who are you rooting for Monday night? I want to put some money on the other team!

2. Duke and Wisconsin are very different now then they were in December. That game has some implications, but I don't think it can be a prediction of the outcome of Monday's game.

I live in Covington Ky. Hit the bars last night and surprised how many non UK fans there are here.
More UK jackets for the homeless.

I hate Kentucky. They've turned college basketball into a joke. Thanks Badgers!!!!

Well you got half your wish. Meanwhile, I pocketed a cool couple on hunnids on picking Wisconsin.

Now I'm rooting for Duke. And I'm not betting against Duke in March.

It's April, not March!

A-hole, you know what I meant.

I did, but it was Kentucky that I bet on beating them. Luckily for me my bracket went so well that I won my big competition before the Final Four even started which was nice so that I could be happy about Wisky taking down Kentucky.

Wisconsin will beat Duke. Kentucky is a better team than Duke. Wisconsin is a much better team right now than Michigan State.
