Can't see an upset coming here..... But maybe the Domers shock the world.

I might be able to see cuse over Virginia if they don't deal with the zone well but I haven't really watched them play this year so I don't know.

Looks like last time they played it was at Virginia and they beat cuse by 18. (Earlier this year)

I am a fan of Tony Bennett and Virginia. Not a big Boehwine, never have been. The UNC and ND game is just about a wash, if both could lose. I would rather see ND win and Virginia play them and destroy ND in Final Four. I don't want ROY and Fraud U to even have a chance to WIN and vacate another national Championship.

I think I'm with you. I'd rather see Virginia and ND.

Well, Virginia gave that game away. Couldn't handle the press, looked completely lost against the zone down the stretch

The better coached team won. The changes Boeheim made Tony didn't have an answer for. The press, the changes in their offense. Great moves. Perantes was out there partying when he made threes but won't even shake hands?

I'm thinking this could be a year where not one of the 1 seeds makes it to FF. For snicks, let's rank the 1s from most likely to make FF to least. My list: NC, KU, VA, OR.

Hey, this guy might be on to something!

(Never mind the parts of the prior post I omitted.)

Having trouble thinking I need to root for the Domers to make this work out though.

I guess I called that one.

I prefer this possible reality.

Since The Orange defeated Virginia, I'm hoping they defeat whomever wins the ND vs UNC matchup. For whatever reason I find the ND basketball fans irritating. The situation at UNC is why I want The Tarheels to lose.

Anyone out there still think Boeheim isn't a great coach?

He's been criminally underrated for decades now.

Butkuser · Mar 27, 2016

I hate, hate, hate UNC! First, because they are UNC, which is self explanatory, and second, because they made me root for IU, and now they are making me root for ND.

Your use of criminally as a descriptor for Jim Boeheim seems appropriate.

TheBucket · Mar 27, 2016

Demetrius Jackson is so good.

BillyBob1 · Mar 27, 2016

If the NCAA actually penalizes UNC for their academic problems, would this years team be impacted with vacated wins?

illinoisportsfan · Mar 27, 2016

Notre Dame basketball -- still only one Final Four in the history of their program (1978).

Hah! Not sure he's any worse than most of them. It's not an easy field for a nice, honest guy to thrive in.
