Either Duke or Connecticut. Memphis has a chance, but Duke has  J.j. Redick and Shelden Williams, and Connecticut is No. 1 in both polls, so I don't think anyone else stands a chance.

I like Duke.  Even after the embarassment they suffered at the hands of UNC, they came back and won the ACC tournament, snatching the number one overall bid.  There toughest game before the final four is going to be Texas in the elite 8, if my bracket turns out right, which is a bit of a scare but I think they'll handle it.  Then I got them beating the Zags before facing Villanova in the championship, the one game on my bracket I truely am questioning right now.  I think Duke beats Nova by one.

No. Mason has had a lot of luck so far in the tournament. They also had a lot of skill, but you need luck to win any of these close games. They can only go so far before they find a team that is just better.

The brackets are announced at 6 p.m. (EST) on CBS television on March 12.\n\nBut the brackets are actually picked in the four days before that, as the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee gathers in a hotel to start evaluating the teams. The committee places all the conference champions guaranteed spots in the tournament, fills the remaining spots with teams and then seeds the tournament so that it all can be released at 6 p.m. Is a pretty high pressure job considering some of the conference tournament championship games don't end until after 4 p.m. that day, locking teams that otherwise probably wouldn't have qualified into the 65 team tournament field.

Selection sunday is the 12th of March. The play in game is March 14th, the first round games will be played March 16th and 17th. These dates are for the NCAA Div I basketball championship. IF you are talking about your state's high school "March Madness" - I don't know. Also, the term is commonly applied to any post season hoops tourney.

Yes, I hate to be cynical, but it's about the money.  Joe Pa spoke out strongly about this a few days ago.  We need to stop focusing on the money and the profits, and find a system that is fair.\n   It may not be possible to determine the "national champion" since the conferences vary so much---some are "semi-pro" and don't bother with the "scholar" in "scholar-athletes" as much as others do.\n   This year, the Big Ten, known for outstanding athletics AND academics, has the two best teams in the nation.

Florida has an excellent shot at repeating because the starting 5 return, Duke is always a good team and Paulus, with another year of experience comes back, UNC's fab freshmen are another year experienced and jelled, but in March Madness, anything can happen. GEORGE MASON ALL THE WAY!!!!

for the most part I go with the big time programs. The level of competition is greater and I feel the talent level is far superior than in the mid majors.  That being said I have loved watching George Mason and hope they win it all.  I believe they are a true Cinderella team and if they can win the championship it will be one of the greatest upsets in sports.

THe fans storming the court is definetly going to be one of the headlines in 1st and 10 tomorrow. But Florida State did good. They got an early lead, didn't go down by much, hit their free throws, and came back late in the game. Duke is now 4-2 whlie losing at half this season. Florida State showed everyone how to beat Duke.

Yes, they have a good chance this season to go deep into the tourney.  It depends upon the seedings and how well they play.

The early favorite would have to be Florida.  They didn't lose any players from their championship team, but you can never rule out Duke.  They always have Strong teams and great recruits.  Duke never rebuilds, they reload.

Let me tell you a story. Two seasons ago I picked Xavier to beat Louiville in the 1st round even though they were underdogs. Everyone thought I was crazy. What shocked them more was the fact that I picked them to win the 2nd round, and the sweet 16 round. I was right. Now Gonzaga is a different team. They have the player who can hit almost every shot he takes. And that is all they need to win believe it or not. Xavier winning the big 10 was good, but have they faced Adam Morrison before this season? No.
