the Missouri Valley may have a team to contend for a National Championship. don't be surprised Missouri St., Southern Illinois, Northern Iowa, or Wichita State, or any others be in the final four this year.

because didn't that Missouri St. team beat Wisconsin this year :

[muggle not]

Missouri St. has some of the most avid basketball fans in the country.

slorydown1, that is blasphemy. I never heard of a N.C. person that did not follow racing and basketball.

I'm not orginally from here...I come from Rosie's neck of the woods. I did follow basketball when MJ was with 'DA BULLS and they were wrapping up all
of those championships...the Last NBA strike did me in, just like the 95 MLB strike did. In fact, all those overpaid crybabies are what drove me to like racing to start with. As for college basketball, it wasn't a really huge deal when I was growing up in the NW suburbs of Chicago, college football was.
Living here now, I will get involved with a college basketball discussion from time to time, and if I had to be nailed down on a favorite team I would say UNC but that would be because thats where MJ came from....I couldn't tell you anything about their current players, nor Duke's for that matter....
Thank God the Bears are in the playoff's because I would be pulling my hair out waiting for the Bud Shootout to get here if they weren't!!!!!

Like Forrest said..."It Happens".

I'd rather have UW go into the tourney with a loss versus undefeated and lose in the sweet 16 or final 4 say, like an Illinois or UNLV.

Ok, who are your picks for this weekend:

New Orleans
Chicago

New England
Indianapolis

[harvick#1]

new orleans / Indy

Manning finally wins the super bowl then he will have more commercial time than Mikey and Jr. combined

[muggle not]

I will pick the other way:

Chicago
New England

(Tom Brady will have a reputation like Joe Montana after this year)

[MD24]

New Orleans and New England

The women Terps are one heck of a team. However, Duke and N.C. are no slouches. Duke looked pretty good against the Terps.
