Three big ten teams in the Elite Eight! Not bad for a supposedly weak conference.:bigsmile:

Okay you West Virginians whupped our Texas Tech Red Raiders. It was a fun game to watch until the last 45 seconds. Maybe it is all for the best. Maybe Bobby Knight will convert from Catholicism!

|  Not at all! Climb aboard and help us celebrate the Tar Heels' record-breaking 16th trip to the Final Four. You may need to learn the Tar Heels' fight song (which is ok for honorary Tar Heels to sing too):
I'm a Tar Heel born,
I'm a Tar Heel bred,
and when I die
I'm a Tar Heel dead.
So ra-ra Carolina-lina,
ra-ra Carolina-lina,
ra-ra-ra Carolina!
Way to go Tar Heels!
And it never hurts to brush up on your Tar Heel History
Here's to a Carolina blue celebration in St. Louis! Cheers!

As an MSU alumni I am supposed to be thrilled by yesterdays games. I am distressed that college games are now played on the Lord's Day. This never used to be the case did it?

| It's been the case for the last 50 years or so. It's frustrating for me too.

I caught all of the Illinois game and part of the NC game last night. Illinois played tough, as did NC. It should be quite a battle come Monday.

iT IS GONNA BE A GAME! However, I do not see how NC will dismantle Illinois superb passing game and three point shooting. Both teams run. Illinois is a better passing team. IMO, they have the far better front court.
I see Illinois winning by 6.
