That would be interesting to see them in the Final Four. I wouldn't know what to think. I've seen them about 5 or 6 times this year because BYU is in their conference and they are overrated in my mind based on what I think a top level team should look like, but they may not in fact be overrated if you take college basketball as a whole into account. I don't know. I don't think they win by 30 + really or anything, they might be the ones that get drubbed themselves. I love the matchups in this game though. The Point guard battle should be great. The 4 and 5's battles should be great.

They sounded good on paper and I just sort of went with a hunch on the notion that no one really talks about them any more the way they once had. That's not to say they're any worse year to year. The Gonzaga Cinderella Story just lost its luster and Butler and VCU did a lot to help with that over the last couple years. So I said to myself, maybe they could, for the first time in a decade or so, sneak up on someone. They have a very good coach, very good personnel...

Not sure why so many people (a ton of experts) loved Missouri. Their defense absolutely sucks, they have little size, and no depth.

I must have got caught up in the hype machine. I didn't actually see them play, but only had stats to rely on.
I am surprised my ESPN bracket based on jersey color/style is not the points leader.
That's usually how people I know have won the last few years.
Maybe I was too serious about getting the jersey color bracket just right.
 
My final four of Florida, FSU, Baylor, and UNC are still intact.

Also, looked like Stockton's son should have played way more than that chucker Pangos.

I feel like Homer after watching my bracket go down in flames......

I think you would be pretty safe if you stayed away from picking any Western teams to make deep runs this year. SDSU (-) their 4 good bigs from their deep run last year aren't going to do anything. Colorado State is garbage. Gonzaga/New Mexico/BYU/Saint Mary's/UNLV have enough talent to make a run, but they would have to play out their minds really to even get to 16. Maybe college basketball as a whole is just down this year though? Which means that sexy 2012 NBA draft that everybody is eying could just be fool's gold.

Brilliant. All the teams that I would consider Western teams are now out. At least I picked the teams I was at least vaguely familiar with well. I don't know Eastern college basketball from women's college basketball.

Really is amazing how poor the western conferences have been this year.

It's the end of the world this year. The western teams are living it up, and their basketball has suffered.
I will say that Utah did go a little overboard this year, as to living it up, but so did the other Pac12 teams.
