Since 2000, 23 teams have appeared in the championship game.  Seven of them are members of the current Big Ten (though Maryland appeared when it was still in the ACC).  If you count Maryland as an ACC team, the ACC has the second-largest number of teams appearing at four.  The Big Ten doesn't win a lot of those games, but that's crazy conference depth.

From ESPN Stats and Info:

Six teams have entered the Final Four with more than 30 consecutive wins that season; none have won the title

Here's an amusing story that should probably be in some NBA thread here if we have one, but I'll put it here because you only know Nick Stauskas from college.

It seems that the live close-caption software a week or so ago in a broadcast translated his name as "Sauce Castillo."  Somebody caught that, turned it into an internet meme, and now the Spurs are having a http://www.nba.com/kings/blog/join-kings-sauce-castillo-night-4/5 "Sauce Castillo Night" tonight.  Canuckleheads will want to mix this sauce with maple syrup, I am sure.

I conducted a minor trolling operation last night. OPERATION YEW KAY.

The tears: delicious.
Nice work, chief.

Big mistake IMO.  Everyone is really playing for 2nd place.  KU is untouchable this year.

You're a more experienced wagerer than I am, but my rationale is that the pool will be heavily skewed (I said 90-95% which may be an exaggeration but only slight) towards a team that has a 50% chance (based on them having even odds) of winning it all. That basically means if I win that coin flip (i.e., UK loses at some point) then I have a much easier pool to compete against.

Even if I didn't hate Duke with the white hot passion of a thousand burning suns I would be rooting for Wisconsin.  I really like what they are bringing to the table.

I don't want to set Berkut off, but are these really the best officials the NCAA has to offer?

I thought the only bad call was that block on Doogan.

Disgusting! :bleeding:

I think that is the one that made me post that.  The offensive foul on the Wisconsin player in the post very soon after that may have been right, but it seemed really close.

It sure will be magical when Coach K is cutting down the nets again.

And it was, wasn't it Tim?

Tommy's bracket won the Bengals pool.  His cut should be enough to buy a nice Lego set or a recently released video game :)
