Well I picked UCLA and NC and they both lost, so I'll choose Kansas in the title game.

Congratulations Memphis!  :whatever:

I guess Kansas wins. Say 78 to 71.

Hope that does not jinx em given the way Memphis has made a fool of me for the last couple weeks.  :-)

Here comes the drama!  :hyper:

I can't help it. "The dreams", "the hopes" the drama of championship time. Special music, player profiles and college history. The whole testasterone parade of the big game! I didn't care a wit about either team three weeks ago and tonight I'm farking hooked.

 :lmao:

OK. Maybe just getting my buzz on too.  :uhsure:

Fess up if your here and watching.

Who ya for? (for me it's Kansas. No good reason except I like the coach and their semi-storied history)

Who were ya for? (Indiana since Ohio State and Texas Tech didn't make the show)  :(

"A tradidtion unlike any other". LOL (aren't they all?) Oh well. I'm off to the living room but I'll be checking back.

Fingers crossed for a real good game tonight.  :cheersmate:

OTOH, there really isn't anything else to live for here.

I have been playing NCAA basketball pools since 7th or 8th grade, many moons ago. I have never, ever won a pool. If Memphis wins tonight, I break that 25-year streak. I'm the only one in my pool who picked Memphis.

Therefore, obviously, congratulations Kansas.

Well that's almost enough to change my loyalties. Almost.  :uhsure:  (h5)  :-)

This game is flying by.  :o

Even the refs are a bit fast and loose. Kansas guy hit in the face but played through it. Memphis got caught flat footed waiting for a couple calls (they deserved to get) but you gotta stay fast and furious anyway.

Man.


Good game so far!  :hyper: Love the back and forth craziness.

They went nuts here in KC -- I think they might still be celebrating.

That's true. Nothing but wide-open spaces and sunflowers up there.

No sunflowers yet -- the weather has been dreary for the last few weeks.
