Goddamn you Tim, you're always one point ahead of me, despite me having guessed one more right than you have

Goddamn you Tim, you're always one point ahead of me, despite me having guessed one more right than you have 

And I've got 3 of my final 4 left to your 2.

True, but on the other hand you have Baylor playing in the Championship

And after everything we've seen so far that's impossible?

Teams come back down to earth for the Elite 8/Final 4 games.  Of course, as I type that, Butler is up on K-State 18-10 

I think you're still in the driver's seat, but there are three others in contention if UK keeps winning (which I hope they don't, naturally).

Hey Speesh, when was the last time the Fighting Hillbillies had someone from in-state on the team?

Grats spicy as it appears WVU is headed to Indy.

and so am I (I hope).

Might be the biggest win in WVU history.

[katmai]

Better win whole thing, then at least I can say Huskies lost to champs.

[derspiess]

Looks like our big non-money Languish bracket of 6 participants will be decided by the Baylor-Duke game tomorrow.  I'll be happy to lose, as it would mean WVU faces Baylor, not Duke in Indy

FUCK BUTLER

FUCK BUTLER

You have money on K. state?

No, I loathe Butler.

They always smack down his beloved Wright State Raiders.  Plus I'm guessing there is an Indiana angle of some sort with his in-laws.

That would be the 2009-2010 season.  They have a sophomore guard from Charleston.  Jerry West's son is on the team, so I would count that as two

But I get your point.  West Virginia is a small state and traditionally the top high school recruits end up at a higher-prestige school-- e.g., OJ Mayo going to USC and Patrick Patterson going to UK.  Hopefully Huggins will put an end to that with his recruiting magic.
