This guy on facebook's cbs bracket challenge, has a perfect bracket through the first 2 rounds. Prett impressive. Apparently, no one on espn does at the moment. Hopefully, this guy submitted his bracket elsewhere where money was involved.

^i was in a 25k challenge 4 years ago and perfect through the elite 8 before it all went to ****.

Calhoun I admit is a genious when it comes to recruiting and building a program. He built it from the bottom up and has kept UConn at a remarkably high level for a long time. The reason I say he out-coached K is because in each big game they have played, Duke has been favored or at least on par with UConn and the Huskies pulled it out in crunch time.

Coach K is the best active coach, but Calhoun has gotten the better of him the last time their two teams met. Calhoun arguably outcoached K in the 2004 national semifinal -- Duke blew a huge lead in that game -- and definitely outcoached him in the 1999 championship game, which featured a loaded Duke team with 5 or 6 future NBA players.

Obviously I am biased because I live in Chapel Hill, but UNC has done very well so far, especially now that Ty Lawson is back off the bench. We absolutely bulldozed Radford and we had a solid victory over LSU. Considering that we also had pretty significant wins over Duke twice this year, UNC should have a very good chance of hitting the final four, maybe even winning the tournament if we don't choke (as we did last year against Kansas at the final four). Hopefully I won't be proven wrong.

My god this is the worst I've ever seen any duke team play.

 

[unexpected]

you clearly did not see the Clemson Duke game this year.

Someone shoot me.

and metrostyles, duke has been to 9 of the past 11 final fours. Did you also know that EVERY duke player since 1984 has been to at least 1 final four (except for demarcus nelson, last year). Though it looks like we're about to kick the bucket here....

I hardly call that jack ****.

and Calhoun def outcoached us in 1999. Uconn was actually favored in 2004. I still cannot believe we blew that 12 pt lead with 3 minutes to go.

LET'S GO NOVA!

Haha! Oh man Duke got absolutely ******* creamed last night, that made me so happy. As much as I hate Duke though, I have to admit, coach K has created and sustained what is easily one of the consistently best college basketball programs in the country. They have also won the ACC title 8 times in the last 11 years. Still, last night, just wow. That game against Villanova is definitely one of the worst games I have seen them play. Jon Scheyer and Gerald Henderson were combined for a total of 4 for 23 shots. Villanova wouldve killed them even more past a 23-point margin of victory if they hadnt gotten cocky and rushed as many ****** 3-point shots as they did(they were 2 for 12 on 3's). Can't wait to see UNC against Gonzaga tonight.

We totally sucked last night. Our recruiting is going down the f'ing drain.

We have not been able to get a banger for several years now, and I think that's really hurt us. Ugh. kill me.

Damn, should have known that Memphis was fool's gold. Wish I had been able to pull the trigger and pick Missouri.

This will be a GOOD game.

 

[MetroStyles]

I'm glad Memphis lost. What a lame popular pick to win it all by so many people.

I am worried about Mizzou against UConn. That full-court defense is scary.

 

[JayJay]

Michigan State looks awful. I'd rather watch the UNC/Gonzaga game but that's not showing here, at least not yet. All the games have been boring tonight.

 

[JayJay]

Michigan State surprised me with the win. I kept thinking Kansas would pull off the win, but MSU kept at it (and screwed up my brackets). Go Spartans!
