"Pretty much the whole nation thinks we're going to get upset, except us," Williams said. "We're coming to win. We're going to prepare hard and come to win."


...I never had doubts they were gonna roll through the tourney. They are a great team. Illinois can roll past Cincy in 2nd round, but will face a pissed-off Duke in the regionals. THAT will be an awesome game to watch! Go Illini.








...and Huskies, and Zags:)

that will be a damn tough match up.

heart says Illini head says Duke. Either way I will smoke a dman fine cigar after that game - unless I can sneak out to a bar then during the game.

Duke has to get there first....

and Cinnci also has to get past first round also...
I got them bowing out...

I see allot of upsets according to how they laid out this bracket this year...I am also favoring Richmond over Wisconsin in the first round...

just a few Hogs Predictions....

GT grad here,

Duke is tough... the stars will have to align for you to beat them. The best talent in the country, and well coached. They CAN lose, but, they can also win, and do.

That whole bracket is tough.. I still show Seaton Hall pulling in an upset on Duke 2nd round.. then falling to Illini in the 3rd...

Cannot rule out N. Carolina nor Louisville either...

Now I know why Hog never wins. Cincy goes out 2nd round.

I say if IL beats Duke they lose to Stanford.
Got a PSD3 EL to back that.

Hog,

Just caught your 'Head East' reference. They were our Homecoming concert my freshman year when I was at Knox College. I still have a couple of their albums....LOL

Saw them once in Alton. I like their msuic and have an album but the concert was disappointing even with alcohol.
