So....this is something I just realized. One of these teams will play for the title.

Gonzaga
Xavier
Wisconsin
Florida
South Carolina
Baylor

Hopefully its not the badgers

How does Few recruit all these guys from Austrailia and Poland? He seem to get these diamonds in the rough from all over the place. Wonder if Wojo has any contacts in Poland for 7 ft centers.

How to win over New Yorkers...

Nigel Hayes on NYC: "I don't really like New York. It's too big, it's dirty, trash everywhere, too many people. It's cold right now."

He can suck it.

As long as it isn't Florida or Wisconsin that would be nice.  Sure looks like the "other side" of the bracket will likely have the national champion though.

Kansas looks unstoppable.  But I will sleep easier the sooner Bucky bows out.

Who were those guys that said the sweep of Xavier was not impressive?

We offered Karnowski. Buzz had him on campus right after his official to Gonzaga back in 2012. Wojo also offered Markkanen, but I don't think we ever got him to town. Hoping some success with Froling will open us up for international players. It really seems to be a recruiting goldmine.

Actually same except i had Xavier in the elite 8

I thought the Zags  were losing to South Dakota State?

Well, in my "mulligan bracket," I'm 1-3.

Arizona, which I picked to go to the championship game, out. Very pleased to be wrong about that one, though. What a game by X. Blueitt sure looked like a guy who would be wise to test the NBA waters.

I really thought Michigan and West Virginia would pull their games out, but both had horrible last possessions, especially WV. Ugh.

Exactly.

Our first game against them, at our place on National Marquette Day, yeah, they were without Blueitt as well as Sumner and that game was a lot more important to us than to them.

But our second game 2 weeks later was at their place. Blueitt was back and at full strength. They had a full month to get used to not having Sumner. They were desperate to win. And we pretty much kicked their fannies to secure our NCAA bid. It was EXTREMELY impressive, and those who deny it aren't Marquette fans.

I would not say he was back at full strength, if you watched the game @X you could definitely tell he was still a little hurt
