I had Michigan State in the final four... until realizing that EVERYONE and their sister is doing the same. So I took Virginia and the separation that would give me :twisted:

So, tribe_pride, what do you make of Izzo's run this year (yet to play their elite eight game).

Michigan State 6-1 all-time under Izzo in Elite Eight games. Also, 19-3 all-time in second games of tourney weekends.

You really did pick a convenient cut off to measure his success as well.

Like I said - Michigan State is starting to peak at the right time. They are healthy. The have Tom Izzo in the month of March.

First 7 seed to do it would be pretty sweet. But I don't want to deal with their fans, so I'll be rooting for either Florida or Wisconsin to win it all! :thumb:

When was the last time had a Final 4 with 2 teams outside top 6 seeds? Never?

Do 7 and 8 seeds count as cinderellas?

Black history month ended a while ago.

What if a white coach wins? Can you name all the white winners or are only black people important to you? :suspicious:

Can you name the team this year with the most white players on it? How about the last team to win it with a majority of white players? Any teams with Asians, or an Asian coach/assistant coach? How about the white versus black cheerleader ratios?

Can you name the last championship team to not have one of their black players arrested? How about naming a championship team that graduated all of their black players...or had a white player who failed out?

These stats are an important part of our history. :lol:
These signatures have a 500 character limit?

What if I have more personalities than that?

UK was the preseason #1 and a lot of people were talking 40-0. Took awhile to get their 5 freshmen starters on the same page, but they seem to be rolling now.
