I've got Syracuse, Washington, K-State, and Kentucky tonight. And no, Washington was not in my original bracket.

How about you?

Here come the Orange on the comeback.

I knew I was right on that one.

Damn. You made a great call there.

How’d your test go?

I was wrong on Washington, too.

They gave WVU a game for a while, though.

Eh,

the test was OK. I was studying till 3:30, but I think I only manage a B on it. We’ll see, sometimes I do better on these things than I think.

I’m working a baseball preview right now…

FWIW, I’m now tied for first in my bracket after starting the day in 13th (out of about 60).

That call on Butler could have made your bracket...

Not many people have Butler in their Elite Eight.

Hope you ended up OK with the test.

I have K State in my final 4.

as long as they make it, and Kentucky wins the whole thing, I think I’m golden.

Well, K-State is in dogfight...

Kentucky game is close, too, but I expect them to pull away at some point.

Can a brother get a K State score, CBS?

Cornell scored 16 in the first half...

What does that say about Kentucky’s defense?

I'd like to see a little more of this KSU game, myself.

You know you can watch it online, right? Go to ESPN.com's scoreboard and click "Watch Online." NCAA.com broadcasts all NCAA tournament games so you can watch the ones you want regardless of where you are.

There have been a lot of really good games this year. I mean a lot.

Ugh. KSU fouls on the 3 point shot.

Yeah. That was beyond stupid. Can you think of something you'd rather not do with a three-point lead?

I mean, give them the two, and make sure you get a hand up on the three. I don’t even see why they were playing him so tight as he passed midcourt.

Great game though. Lots of lead changes down the stretch. Clutch shots.

Re: Kentucky...

Did anyone expect such a low-scoring game?

LOL. Only this time...

It really matters. It’s not some Tar Heel dunking over a 5’11 forward playing for UNC-Wilmington.

K-State is killing themselves at the FT line.

I really don't see how Kentucky can't be the favorite now.

I have trouble seeing Duke as a real contender. Maybe I’m wrong.
