I've been working 55 hours a week. Oh the life of a lowly associate!

You need to check your bracket! LSU winning screwed up a lot of people's bracket.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!

I work at Duke Medical Center and I have despised the basketball team for years. They are arrogant and so is the coach. I see him walking around with his nose stuck up!! Anybody but Duke is what I say.

Actually, Coach K was somewhat gracious in defeat although he couldn't quite get the words, "They deserved to win" out of his mouth when describing the better game played by LSU...but the score tells us, and everyone else, everything which really counts.

Well, I'm (obviously) an Aggie fan, and losing to LSU that closely sucked. But seeing that the Tigers beat Duke made me feel better. Now I don't know who to cheer for--LSU or Texas? And did you see that Gonzaga lost? I really like Morrison, so I was sad to see them lose.

My son's bracket was #1, we shall see where he is now.

His brackets usually do well (he came in 3rd last last), but currently has a "C" in math (down from an A- 1st qtr). Sigh.

UCONN barely got past Kentucky so they had better be playing better than they were in that particular game.

How many of LSU's players actually belong in college? Or Duke's? College basketball is a fraud and the colleges shame themselves by pretending that the players are "student athletes."

We're so very proud of our Tigers!!! Glen Davis and Garrett Temple graduated from my children's high school and were so kind to my little boy when he was in 2nd grade. I see Glen a lot around Baton Rouge and he always takes time to speak to me with beautiful manners, I might add! John Brady and Butch Pierre have done a great job with these boys. They are a fantastic team and deserve to win!

Personally, my bracket looks better than ever after yesterday, as I have LSU and UCLA in the Final Four. Connecticut can win it all. I better go fly my UConn flag. My husband and I had an argument about Morrison crying. I thought he should have been a better sport but my husband felt they shouldn't have shown it on TV. Either way, I feel bad for the kid but really, do you lie on the floor like that?

GeorgeW, Duke's basketball team has one of the highest GPAs in college basketball and has the highest percentage of graduating athletes than any other univerisity.

That said, I've got LSU picked to go all the way!

Since my Gamecocks are in the NIT (hope they win again)I'm pulling for the SEC.

Boston College in the ACC is weird.

Actually, U Conn did not play badly against KY. The CATS just played like they are capable of playing but have not done most of the season.
Was so happy to see DUKE lose.

GO SEC!

Go_Travel, isn't it weird ... BC in the ACC??? I'm not used to it yet! I don't feel like the ACC, as I think of it, has anybody left.

GeorgeW, you're way off base about Duke's student athletes, and UNC's, for sure! Dean Smith's philosophy was that if they didn't study and make the grades, they didn't play. Roy Williams is the same!

Did anyone see the end of the UCLA - Gonzaga game last night? Talk about March Madness!

Thank you Bonnie! I thought I was alone in that.

Thank goodness BC didn't win the ACC tourney. How embarrassing would that have been?

Where was Duke last night BTW?

GoT, I am convinced that aliens invaded the bodies of the Duke players; we only *thought* that was the Blue Devils last night!!! Really, I couldn't believe it .... I also thought that the refs let that game become a free-for-all at times, and the bigger players from LSU got away with some stuff .. but I'm probably wrong there.
