NCAA Tournament

Anyone else filling out brackets today? I'm a Big Ten fan and I have to say Ohio State looks like a real beast. It would take a real effort by anyone to oust the Buckeyes this year.

Just for statistical curiosity ... in NCAA play, is it mostly 1.e4 or 1.d4?

I have created a group at ESPN.com for the Tournament Bracket Challenge.  I'm inviting all Chess.com members to join and create an entry there.  The password is "fish", and the link is:

Let's have some fun with March Madness!

*bump*

I like Blue Devils... but North Carolina is also one of my favorites

Niven42: I'm in. Look how far, I've taken our Boilermakers!

pathfinder: it is e4 in the men's tournament; d4 in the ladies' tournament.

 UCONN HUSKIES !! we got the best player in the country ( walker) but he has no help at all. I hate DUKE and N. CAROLINA go BIG EAST and BIG TEN !!

mateologist: UConn is hot ... the team noone wants to play right now.

They played 5 games in five days they'll be too tired too win.

Youth & Adreneline

Still

We know they do not have the talent besides (walker) they are just relentless on defence !! But i think ohio st is too big too fast and too strong i think they are 30-2 in the big ten that is an awesome record for that league !!

Anybody have any good sleepers? Remember Northern Iowa and Butler last year?

Does St. John's count as a sleeper?

Not any more. They've become legitimate. I've been hearing UAB and some other 12 and 13 seeds will surprise. I think Penn State can win some games.

I personally think that notre dame has an awesome team this year. I have them going all the way. My second is San Diego St. In the final four, i have pitt and ohio st.

My sleeper: the Texas Longhorns!  Final Four bound. 

Hook 'em Horns!  In Houston, it will almost be a homefield advantage.
