    I got the Orangemen as the winner in my bracket picks. I have them and Loiusville in a rematch of the Big East Finals. Also looking for NC to get eliminated by Gonzaga tonight.

    I think 'Cuse will beat OK but UNC will not be stopped this year.

    I thought Duke and Memphis would make it.

    U Conn is a bunch of cheats.

    Blake Griffin is going to be tough.

    Blake is tough but if they can knock him off his game Cuse will roll. Stupid Memphis messed my bracket up I had them going to the final 4. But I still have Lville UNC and 'Nova

    I won't be cheering because I don't really care (sorry), but I do have Syracuse down for this game. But what the heck, go orange!

    Hey, it is Oklahoma - it's not too hard to cheer for their opponent down here. But then it does get a little confusing since they get most of their recruits from Texas.

    The Prez picked NC to win it all. So far I would not get rich betting on his picks.

    I don't get that because his brother in law,Michelles brother is a coach for Oregon State.

    They are still in it as of Wednesday.

    I generally just follow the east until we get to this juncture.

    Any more ORANGE fans out there willing to root for my hometown team ?

    I have never seen anything like that before from my team.I can' begin to understand it.

    Hay all you rooter's :p

    Thanks for nothing.. kidding !

    Thanks for hangin' on this board with me today ! It was fun and the support was cool and for those of you who never saw Syracuse play before ,they really are good :)

    I have no idea but they were so off game.

    My BF says there is a Sports Illustrated curse.

    Jonny Flynn was on the cover last week.

    Did anyone ever hear of that before?

    Yes the SI jinx is real... sometimes. Look what happened to Flynn during the game. But then again Eli Manning was on the cover for consecutive weeks before the Giants SuperBowl win last year.

    But the real curse for SU was Tony Crocker .He played an awesome game.

    Go to Dinosaur Bar-B-Que and have a few... that should help.
