Yes, lowly Ohio U. took out Georgetown, all honor to the Bobcats!  Unfortunately, they couldn't handle Tennessee, which the Buckeyes will have to do next Saturday.

And how about Northern Iowa beating Kansas?

I would just like to point out that of the major conferences, the Big Ten has by far the highest survival rate so far, 60%, with Purdue, Michigan State and Ohio State still in it.

I have nine teams alive from my initial bracket:

Michigan State, OSU, Syracuse, Butler, K-State, Kentucky, Cornell, W.Va, and Duke. 

The South Region has killed me.  (I did pick Duke to win the region.)

Unfortunately for me, I have Georgetown beating OSU. So the Midwest Bracket is also doomed.

I treat the NCAA pairing as par. So far, I'm doing quite a bit better than par, and a bit better than Obama.

If your bracket isn't ruined by this point, you were either making crazy or brilliant picks in the first place.  How far did you guys have Kansas going?  I, along with many others, picked them to win the whole thing. . .

I still love Liverpool, but I went to university and live in the US. The college basketball tournament is really big here in the US.  Think of it as similar to what happens to France during the Tour de France.  Yeah, other sports exist during that time but for one month or so, cycling is everything.  Same with college basketball in the US during March!

Are you tired of football, S_F? Now, while you have reason to rejoice?

Weird notion of fandom you have.

I'm a perennial G'Town fan.  I also realise that Kansas is the best team in the country right now.   

But I'm also a sentimentalist.  I'm picking the Orangemen of Syracuse to win, hoping that everyone stays healthy!

Ohio State looked reasonably good in the Big Ten tournament, but then again it was the Big Ten tournament.   

My early round upset picks include Murray State over Vandy, Cornell over Temple, Louisville (not really an upset) over Cal, and Siena over Purdue. Overall, my picks look pretty "chalky" (That is, I tend to pick the favorites.)

Will Markovich choose anybody to beat Ohio State this year?


Why would I do that?  With Evan Turner at the top of his game, the Buckeyes will be very hard to stop.  Go Bucks!
