Ohio 13 seed and plays in Tennessee. Ohio could bring a good number of fans. Good luck to the Bobcats!

This is one many will circle as upset alert.

It's not a horrible matchup for Ohio, that's for sure. Michigan relies heavily on outside shooting and if they're having an off night, Ohio will be in it until the end. Of course, if they're hitting it's probably over, but they don't have a dominant inside guy and they can go hot/cold with their reliance on shooting.

Ohio wins by double digits, the big ten is about to have a very bad tournament. The only team I have faith in is michigan st.

Go Bobcats

I wonder if Brady Hoke thinks Michigan is playing Ohio State in the first round of the tourney

Cooper vs. Burke is a fun matchup

As much as I dont like Ohio, it would be nice to see them beat Michigan and then knock off the Owls

Ohio defends the perimeter really well. I like their chances to be a pain in the ass all game long and deny open looks.

Wait minute; you're watching basketball? You must be bored!

Not sure there is anything I'd rather watch than college basketball. Something I doubt I could get bored of.
The last couple of weeks with all the games on, and the next couple of weeks with the NCAA tourney are the highlight of my tv watching year.
I watch plenty of all of these sports, but my rankings of what sports I enjoy watching most are:
1. College basketball
2. H.S. basketball
3. College football
4. (not far behind #3) College volleyball
5. Pro basketball
6. Pro football/baseball
* These rankings might change a little if it were "live" viewing at a stadium.

I was talking about Cawoo. Just a guess, but I think his list would read like this:

1. College football
2. Pro football
3. H.S. football
4. Pro Hockey
5. College Hockey
6. International Soccer
7. Rugby
8. Strongman competition
9. Poker
10. Curling
11. Nothing better to do? - basketball!

I assumed that you were referring to him. It just triggered a response of stating what I would want to watch, especially at this time of year. When I saw your list for him it made me realize poker is another that I find myself watching. Not sure why, but I do.

Anyone else go through a level of depression/sadness when the college basketball season ends? We go from having so much available to nothing. Hits me pretty hard.

College football is far and away #1 for me. But, I do like college basketball and I really like March Madness. I also enjoy going to H.S. playoff games, especially the Supersectionals at the Convo. Shows how the place can really rock with big crowds! Hopefully, we'll get to experience that with the Huskies in the near future.

Part of the reason I took my vacation this week is for the b-ball tournament. :)

College football and pro football are far and away my favorites. Basketball is more ho-hum for me, although if NIU develops a good team I'll watch them more. If there was more pool (billiards) on I'd watch that, along with tennis (especially if Sharapova is playing).

Have no interest in poker. Would rather watch a chess match. Literally.

Well, there's this @**hole I hang out with who likes basketball, so I end up watching it. Luckily, he's usually just as down with watching DVDs of NIU football games from 2008, too.

My list was missing Major League Baseball*, but otherwise you've got it pretty close.

*The metric s#*t-ton of money I pay every year for the MLB Extra Innings package, plus the assorted $$ associated with rotisserie baseball every year would attest to that.

Rotisserie baseball? How long do you have to cook it?

Been cooking it for 15 years now, and every year, my team tastes like s#*t.
