Although my bracket is history, this has been one of the most exciting tournments in memory. Not many blowouts and the point that teams can beat a bunch of young superstars anyday.
Any true basketball fan loves what's happening and the competitiveness of every game.

Thanks a lot Ohio State. Way to go Duke! Don’t even look at me Kansas.
By now you’ve probably finished pulling out your hair or setting your NCAA bracket on fire only to put out the smoldering ashes with your tears of rage. There’s a reason it’s called gambling and this year’s Final Four tournament has once again reminded all of us that Cinderella teams can be thrilling, but they can also throw off the curve like nobody’s business.
After a string of upsets that will have next weekend’s games hosting only the third 11th seed to ever make it to the final, way-beyond-longshot Virginia Commonwealth shot past Kansas on Sunday, screwing up brackets from Topeka to the White House, where President Obama had picked the Jayhawks to go all the way.
Like most of America, Obama’s bracket – which featured all four No. 1 seeds – took a hit when Pittsburgh, Ohio State, Kansas and Duke all lost this weekend, paving the way for VCU to take on No. 8 Butler while No. 3 Connecticut faces fourth-seeded Kentucky in next weekend's games.
Forget the Final Four, CNN has dubbed this the “Improbable Four.” How improbable? The Associated Press reported that the VCU Rams were so sure they wouldn’t get an NCAA tournament bid two weeks ago that they got together to watch the Cartoon Network and went out for burgers instead of watching the selection show.

Is your bracket toast?
If I want to watch sports I will. If I want to go play a game of football or basketball I will. Calling it retarded is well retarded. I was just pointing out a fact.
The stars and moons aligned just so. Enjoy the game for what it will be. A fine game of basketball.
i hope either Butler or VCU takes it all
Either way it goes I hope we are in for the best games of the tourney. If so.. they will be amazing.
I cried when Duke lost...o.o
VCU proved the seeding committee knew more than they were given credit for and ESPN doesn't look so smart right now.
In addition to asking if you were toast should have also asked if so who your pick is now.
No matter how it goes, we are seeing some great basketball.
The top 5 from each were all as good as each other.
If you watched ESPN last night (hopefully I have the numbers right), 5.9 mill brackets. approx. 90k had VCU and Butler in final four. approx. 112k had KY and UConn. Of all 5.9 mil. 2 (two) had the final four picked.
and for all you gator fans out there: WOOF!!!
