The conference tournaments are complete. Ohio State, Kansas, Duke and Pitt are regional number 1 seeds.
Who do you think will win it all and why?

I have to tell ya, the field is wide open this year. No one is really dominating and I'm not even sure if a 1 seed is going to be in the Final Four either...

I agree. Some of those #2 and #3 seeds are looking good. Will be interesting.

The so-called media "experts" should be wearing a lot of egg on their face now - they all thought the Big East was by far the best basketball conference, and the NCAA Selection Committee put 11 of the Big East teams in the tournament. So far, 4 of them have bombed out in the first round. lol

Another Big East team - the Pitt Panthers, seeded #1 in the Western Regional - is gone. lol
They need to rename the conference the Big Least.

And a number two seed, Notre Dame, falls to #11 Florida State. LOL

Only 1 number 1 left but I think Kansas will be able to pull it out to reach the the championship game. It's tough to pick who's coming out of the East/West but I'll go with Tar Heels to face Kansas in the championship.

Been a crazy tournament for sure.
I'd just as soon see Virginia Commonwealth play Butler for the national championship, although I think you're correct in that Kansas will win it all. They were, IMHO, in the weakest regional.

And then there were none...I should've stuck with my gut that none of the #1 seeds would make it to the Final Four! Crazy tournament indeed!!!

And no #2 seeds left. VCU plays Butler. First time this has ever happened. Just shows the parity has also happened in college basketball, as well as football.
Hope whoever wins this semi-final wins the whole thing against the other semi winner - Kentucky/Connecticut.

Yeah I'm pulling for the either one of the two underdogs to win it all as well.

And let's not forget the ladies - will Connecticut win another one? They play Duke tonight in the East Regional. Tennessee got bounced last night as Notre Dame beat them in a regional final. They'll be joined by Stanford (only team to beat UConn in the past two years) and the winner of tonight's Baylor - Texas A&M Regional Final. Those that haven't watched Baylor's Griner play have missed a treat. 6'8" center, dunks frequently. Unstoppable. Scored 40 points the other night.
