Not much luck so far, but I'll go out on a thin limb and offer up my Elite 8 scenario guessings (bold and underlined for later ridicule):

Ohio State over George Mason
Kentucky over Ohio State

Syracuse over Marquette
Washington over North Carolina Missed  the mark, now it gets dicey here for me 
Syracuse over Washington

Kentucky vs. Syracuse

Duke over Michigan
Arizona over Texas
Arizona over Duke
Connecticut over San Diego State

Arizona vs. Connecticut

Kansas over Illinois
Biggest Upset Guess Time: Richmond over Kansas
Purdue over VCU VCU is looking tuff tuff tuff! WOW! 
Notre Dame over Florida State
Notre Dame over (scratch Purdue) VCU??
Notre Dame vs. Richmond

Wisconsin over Butler
BYU over Florida

Wisconsin vs. BYU

I can go further for the funk of it...

Hey Rick,
I'm done with being tantalized by animals, as in Cats and Owls...I am honestly happy to be put out of my misery. 

What a battle yesterday, especially since I thought your guys won it at least twice before the first overtime, let alone 2 overtimes!!  You do know my hubby is a classic armchair coach and very emotional fan.  Not to sound like a sore loser, but there were 2 things he didn't like , I think both in the 2nd overtime. There was a walk not called on the Aztecs, as he screamed it, Temple sideline was doing the hand motion for walking and there was something else, a fowl maybe.  And one of the Temple players blew it at the end. I was checking SI brackets, they had the Aztecs playing Penn State instead of Temple and had you going to the Sweet 16 meeting up with UConn. Kemba's wrist is hurt, I think he's getting a little beat up...it should be an exciting game.

Its a funny thing with colleges and alumni...colleges try to fundraise when their teams are playing well.  We both got mail Friday saying "Get Your Owl On", but it was for Alumni Weekend, no fundraising. If you remember Hall and Oates, Daryl Hall went to Temple and will be performing alumni weekend. Hall & Oates meet at Temple while they both were students there.

Did anyone see the end of Pittsburgh vs. Butler?  Its probably my Big East favortism, BUT what a way for Pitt to lose!!  Coach husband would have got them the win.  When Pitt lined up for 2 fowl shots with less than 2 seconds, he would have removed the Pitt players from lining up for the fowl, so what happened didn't happen, which cost them the game.  Strange ending with 2 mistakes on both teams.  2 years ago, 'Nova beat Pitt in the last second of the game to go to the final four, this year SI had Pitt going to the Final Four losing to Kansas.

With that said, I just totally admire the Butler coach since last years run and his player Howard was a shining star again.  Just a class act to say what he said at the end.  I wish St. John's Coach Lavin said something of value when he beat Rutgers, even though it wasn't his fault or anything.  Just saying...

Rocket, Good Luck to your Orangemen!!

same here Rick, my right side looks like a mine field. VCU killed me, but so did ND and Pitt. On the other side, I managed to bring home Arizona and Marquette which was a good thing. Not out of it yet, floating around in the 68 percentile. yep, that will be a good matchup on Thursday, maybe they will shoot better. I'm darn tired of the Big East, come to think of it they didn't have a very good weekend. Steve will have them ready to pounce, good luck.

Gee Rocket, can it be we have two Wisconsin teams in the Sweet Sixteen? Marquette and Wisconsin? Who would've thunk it?

Roy

Debate 'em or relate to 'em!

Kentucky over Ohio Stale

UConn over SDSU

BYU over Florida

Wisconsin over Butler

Arizona over Duke (are you kidding?)

VCU yes, continues ('til the baskeball turns into a pumpkin) over Florida State!

Richmond over Kansas (are you kidding me?) Why NOT two Cinderellas?

North Carolina over Marquette

Who cares?!   

Rock ON & Keep the Faith,

I'll drag up the tattered remnants of my better Liz Bracket choices, and fill in the gaps with the survivors for the 16. Bold are my originals that remain.
OSU v Kentucky, OSU
UNC v Marquette, Marquette
Duke v Arizona, Duke
AZTECS V UConn, AZTECS
KU v Richmond, KU
Fla. St. v VCU, VCU
Butler v Wisconsin, Wisconsin
BYU v Forida, BYU

I've got SDSU Vs KU in the final. 
I looked into tix for Anaheim. FUGEDDABOUDIT! 2 large per

Oh well, Too much Kemba and too many dumb mistakes = end of the road. Sure will make it easier for the coach to recruit now. Wait 'till next year cry the losers.

I'll have to add after watching replays and listening to Coach Fisher this morning that the two technicals were terrible calls that probably changed the game, certainly stopped the momentum the Aztecs had going on the second. The Italian soccer flop to the floor by Walker was ridiculous, and he was heard in the tunnel after the game bragging about how he pulled it off. The tech on Kawhi for jawing with the other players at 2 minutes into the game was ridiculous as well, the first in his career for unsportsmanlike conduct. One wonders.... TV influence was scotched big time though when mighty Duke was snuffed by the Zonies.
