    My least productive time at work. I watched some amazing ends-of-games so far. Almost had a nice Davidson over Marquette upset until Davidson handed over the game.

    Looks like there will be a 5-12 upset with Oregon, although I felt that Oregon got screwed with its seed in any event.

    My UCLA Bruins are not going to do well (having your second leading scorer on a very thin team break his foot on the last play of the second to last game before the tournament can suck).

    I hate Duke, so refuse to give them any credit. I really like the Big 10 this year though.

    Should be a good tournament because there appears to be no single dominant team like Kentucky last year.

    Go Harvard!! I'm a Penn grad, but the Ivy League still holds a place in my heart. Great to see Harvard win in a stunning upset over #3 seed New Mexico.

    Plus, the Pac 12 so far appears seriously underrated.

    Penn Grad eh?.....Pat's or Geno's?

    My final four, which is a 100 fun tickets bet with my boss, head to head, is Kansas in the South, Miami in the East, OSU in the West and ..ahem...Duke in the Midwest. With Kansas trouncing Duke in the final. But I am rooting Nova and Temple obviously. Nova isn't deep and won't go past the second round at best, Temple...you never know. They are usually good for one big win.

    You don't have to go to college in Philly to answer that question - and it's not even close, btw. Of course it's Pat's.

    As for the tournament itself, I feel like Louisville is the favorite - they are playing great right now. And I think they catch a break with their Sweet 16 same against Oregon. I agree with dmc that Oregon was woefully underseeded, but I'd still rather play them than St. Louis or Oklahoma State.

    That said, I think that Ohio State now has the easiest path to the Final Four, with all the other top seeds having already been eliminated. I don't think that they will get to the championship game, as I feel that any of the four remaining teams in the east could beat them head to head, but they have to be a considered the clear favorite for making the Final Four.
