    NCAA tournament

    UNCA is the local team in the tourney. We have a few other members close to Asheville here. Everyone is going nuts right now. How awesome if they can beat Syracuse today?

    When/if they end up playing the Badgers or Marquette we'll have a gentlemen's bet.

      If they play wisconsin it would be in the sweet 16, more likely than Marquette would be in the Championship game. But i'd be game for a friendly wager.

        I have Syracuse to win this game but won't really hurt me if they lose since I don't have them going more than two rounds (I have Wisconsin beating them). Looks like my big bet will come tomorrow. Belmont is my Cinderella team....I have a few other first round upsets and this is where our pools are generally won (in the first rounds) since the points only increase by one in each round and short of some big shockers, most everyone has some combination of 6 teams in the final 4.

          Same here, i actually have Wisconsin beating Cuse next round. I would love for them to exit in the first round though.

            Wow 4 pathetic calls against UNCA down the stretch that changed the game. And they all ended up giving Syracuse points. Terrible calls.

              ^ You knew they couldn't have a 16 upset a 1. It's not right, but I could see this coming from a mile away.

                Yeah the commentators are slamming the refs right now. How awesome though if UNCA could have pulled it off. I don't see any of the other #1 seeds having close games.

                  I've got K-State beating them in the next round anyways.

                    I have been let down this entire year by my Duke Blue Devils. A team with as many guards as they have should have a higher shooting %. The only good moment i have had with these clowns all year was the upset win against UNC. So done with Duke this year. If they lose this game i don't even care.

                        I'm just stunned at the degree of upsets today. Michigan, Missouri, Duke! But I still have my final four in my brackets. UK against Michigan State. And Syracuse against North Carolina.

                          Scrolling through the ESPN boards and finding so much Duke hate. I don't understand that. I get college rivalries and arch rival stuff. What I cannot wrap my mind around is so many people from all over the country are actually getting aroused by Duke losing. It's shocking for sure, but I read a post, that got pulled quickly, about someone wishing their bus would run off the road, catch fire and kill everyone.

                          Otherwise, this has been a very interesting tournament. This is the second best sporting event after the Super Bowl.

                          If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

                            It's more of a gambling hate than anything. Alot of people probably had Duke in the final four or the championship. A staple position for this team. So alot of brackets got burned up today. I did pick the Michigan upset, so I got lucky there.

                              Being a Duke fan for the last 30 plus years i don't understand the degree of hate. Now there are teams i despise, UNC of course, Kentucky, UConn. But i would never wish physical tragedy or death. Dang it's a game. Coach K is amazing. He never said one harsh word about his players after that loss. And one stat i always like to point out about Duke is these kids are also among the highest academically. It is in the top 2% of all college students that even get accepted into Duke. This loss stings as i have never seen Duke get beat in the first round. This team just never had that Duke magic this year. I hope all the haters enjoy it cause you can bet they will be back again next year.
