    These off days are torture. I can't wait to get the games started again tomorrow. For me, everything depends on the Friday games. And if those go well then the Sunday games are even more important.

    I had my days mixed up. The most important games for me are tomorrow (and Sunday) - KY vs WV, ND vs Wich St, UNC vs Wis, and AZ vs Xav. I think AZ will have the easiest time. Wis should also win without much trouble. I need ND to play better and send Wichita St home. My big gamble is on KY. I have them losing to ND on Saturday. I am taking the chance because I don't think the SEC is that good, except for KY, so KY hasn't faced a really strong team since December. My gut feeling is that they will be facing much better teams in the next few days that may just surprise them. However, ND hasn't played that well so I'm a bit worried about my approach/bracket.

    ND and KY looked great. AZ and WI struggled and won. Its the two games on Saturday that could send me to the top or bottom of the standings (I keep mixing up my days). Lower seeds (except Duke) winning tonight would also help. After seeing KY last night I feel I might have made a bad gamble on ND beating them.

    KY is favored against anybody. They look great, but competition is getting tougher game after game. Someone will get them (I hope).

    Despite KY's perfect record they had a couple of close calls during the regular season. (KY 71-LSU 69) If anyone beats KY it will be a team with a great defense and great outside shooting. Too many KY trees inside. Also, with all the early round upsets a lot of potential competition got weeded out as well making KY's task a little easier.

    Not YET!! I only have 2 left in the final four, but I don't think any of the other 3 will beat KY!

    We used to do a Master's tournament, which was fun, but kind of a pain to score and I won't have time.

    If anyone wants to run it, I'll provide the prizes.

    Last year's contest... http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/site-news-...rs-2014-a.html
