Thumbs up NCAA Basketball Tourny

It's that time again! Anyone usually follow the tournament pretty closely?

Post what school you're rooting for, smack talk, comments, opinions, brackets, etc. here!

I'm actually looking at my bracket right now so I'll get it up when I'm finished with it. Maybe we can do a challenge here with those that post their bracket before the tournament starts on Thursday? We can then do a daily points standings right here and have a winner when all is finished.

If you do have a bracket, scan or print screen it and post it here before 12:00pm noon EST this Thursday, March 21.

I'm too nervous to follow the tournament - I won't watch the games - too stressful. I have been a Kansas fan since 1988 so that's who I am rooting for.

I still watch as many games as I can even though filling out a bracket usually creates so much anxiety during games. I'm rooting for Michigan.

The brackets seem especially difficult to pick this year.

NIT bracket tonight..... #1 Kentucky, last years National Champ came to Pittsburgh tonight to play the #8 Robert Morris Colonials who hosted the first round of the NIT lost 59-57 to the Colonials......... Kentuckys Rupp Arena holds about 23,000 in attendance, they played in front of a packed house of 3,400 at the Sewall Center @ Robert Morris....... I saw the news and it was the first time in NIT history that the fans/students actually rushed the court......

I must admit. I was highly amused to see that Kentucky lost like that.

As far as the tournament goes, I am rooting for Indiana to win it all. I'm excited to see what they do. Best chance they've had at a national title in quite a while.

I didn't follow the NIT at all so I was unaware of the story around Kentucky. Pretty big win for Robert Morris. So the tournament has no Kentucky, Tennessee, or Maryland. No teams at all from Texas, which is unusual.

Big 10 has a strong presence in the tournament this year.

This might sound crazy but I think VCU is getting back to the final four this year. Indiana wins the national title though against Duke

Don't forget, if you want to post your bracket here please do so by tomorrow 12:00pm noon EST Thursday, March 21! Let's get a few so we can have our own challenge. I think I got mine figured out so it should be up a bit later. May tweak a bit but I doubt it. I've got Louisville, Ohio St., Kansas, and Indiana in the Final Four.
