Sorry your team got knocked out Beth.
I was wrong about Clemie. I thought we'd never agree on anything including the color of milk. That's why I was pleased to see this comment which I'm in agreement with 100%:
Clemie: 'Although college basketball is a shadow of what it was 20 years ago (for me at least) the tournament remains a great event. How anybody can watch this and be opposed to a college football playoff is beyond me. '
That's perfect. The problem, of course, is the early departure of the best players after their freshman year.
We no longer see match-ups like Lew Alcindor vs. Elvin Hayes in the NCAA tournaments because the players turn pro too soon. Sure, Kevin Durant was great when playing at the University of Texas but he's so much better now. He'd still be a junior if in college.

Thanks for the condolences, das. I'm really sorry about the Tennessee-Michigan State game. MSU by 1 point! The Baylor-Duke game is just starting. I'm definitely for Baylor. Best of luck to them. They are the first real challenge Duke has had so far.

Your wish has been granted, Clemie. Means more aggravation for me, though. The final will be between Butler and Duke. Duke is my least favorite team, but a win by Butler will only happen with a big upset. What the heck. Go Butler Bulldogs!!!
