I saw another: apparently UCLA smiled in the direction of Calipari, Kentucky countered with a contract for life....
 
Well. This weekend sucked in terms of teams I root for. Anyone want to give their final 4 predictions? I have MSU and UVA, partial to UVA winning it all.
 
I would not be sad if Virginia won, kept it in the ACC. But right now I really would like to see MSU lose, bigly.

Actually had duke winning it all in a bracket pool for a nice chunk of change...had Duke won that game I would've sealed my win. So I too hope to see MSU go down. Also never been a huge fan of Izzo, not because of his coaching style I just think he is a dunce
 

You know I had to hate that, right?

I am less disappointed that Duke lost--they didn't play horribly--than they lost to a non-conference, unranked team at Cameron. THAT fucking sucks. I couldn't care less about losing the #1 ranking; six games in it's meaningless.

In any event it just gives me one more reason to drink heavily tomorrow....
