      Who ever comes out of the Big 10 the healthiest. They beat the hey out of each other during the season and lose ranking during the may-lay.

          I would like to see someone besides the usual yearly big dogs win for a change. St. Louis, Wisconsin, Wichita State, Creighton, Gonzaga, Oregon come to mind.

            I think the shockers are better than most think even though they are #2 in the nation.

            Im with u Clayton. Id like to see a long shot win, I really like OK ST but they couldn't beat Kansas today without their best player. So it isn't looking good for them.

              I hope your right but alot of mid pack teams from the major conferences could look good against the Shockers schedule

                Witchita State did play some patsies throughout the year, but any team that can click off 30 straight wins in Div. 1 deserves a #1 ranking in my book. Shockers have something to prove. Won't be surprised if they pull it off this year. No strangers to the dance this time.

                  I will be surprised if a Big Ten team gets to the Final 4. michigan barely got past Purdue at the end of the regular season and the unranked Fighting Illini of Illinois gave them all they wanted and a little more earlier today in the Big Ten Tournament.

                  As much as I hate to say it I think Wisconsin might have the best shot to go really deep into the tournament this year. I don't see ohio state doing much and michigan can't play defense but they can shoot. Generally defense wins big games in NCAA Tournament play.

                  My sentimental favorites are located in Kansas but it dam sure ain't the gayhawks, oops, I mean jayhawks (maybe I had it right the first time). As usual duke is universally despised, which is well deserved.

                  I hope Kansas State gets in the tournament and I'm really rooting for Wichita State to go to the Final 4.

                    This is a crazy 1 rst rd. Cinderella prediction............coastal Carolina ( my old alma matter)out of Myrtle beach , SC knocking off their first round opponent as a mega teen seed???

                    They have a buzz going on with the entire athletic program ..... Very good NCAA baseball , football( of course they got murdered by the eventual champions in the semifinals, but who didn't),stout NCAA golf team and now the old Clemson ball coach( cliff Ellis) has them in the march madness event.....( his 4 th college team to get there,Clemson , south Alabama ,and auburn being the other 3)

                    They will probably draw Wichita state in the opener,lol.

                    Not bad for a bunch of beach bums and surfer boys though!!!!

                        Looks like my huskers will make the tourney for the first time in 16 years. Its been a very long suffering time for us. Better yet...... The next couple years look great, 3 best players are just sophomores.

                            U got that right a bright future. The coach really turned that place around. Just hope those boys don't get the bright idea go to the league before their ready. I hate seeing those guys leave before they're ready.

                            I can't believe Creighton got upset yesterday. I like that team and McDermott is a modern day Larry Legend. I like watching him play.

                            I think the first rounds will go as planned, for the most part. From the there on out it'll get interesting. Im not even goin to try to do a bracket this year, just gonna sit back and watch.

                              Coach Tim Miles has turned every place around he's been. I hope someone doesn't wave a bunch of money in his face to go somewhere else.

                              Those boys a good head on there shoulders. All 3 have made it there mission to turn it around. Shavon Shields is pre med major and his dad is former NFL player Will Shields. I just don't see any of them leaving but you never know.

                              Creighton has been huge disappointment this year. After they smoked Villanova they were a shoe in for conference title and couldn't get it done. Curious to see how good they will be next year with McBuckets gone.
