Open thread for anyone wanting to weigh in on the NCAA Tournament. This thread will be used for both Saturday AND Sunday. I'm going to weigh in here with my thoughts and you can also find me on Twitter (@Mark_Kieffer for me, @CloneChronicles for the blog in general) too.
Saturday Teams I Want To Win: St. Mary's, Butler, Ohio, Kansas, Washington, Baylor, BYU, and Wake Forest
Now, in my bracket, I didn't have St. Mary's, Ohio, UNI, Washington, or Wake Forest advance, but others did, and the teams they are playing I have losing by the Sweet 16 or Elite Eight.
Sunday Teams I Want To Win: Gonzaga, Ohio St, Maryland, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Xavier, A&M, and Duke
A much less upset kind of a rooting day than Saturday. But that's the way the scheduling goes. I want to get some of my Elite Eight and Final Four teams right.
My Elite Eight is all still alive: Kansas, Ohio St, Syracuse, BYU, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Duke, and Baylor. Only reason why I want Gonzaga over Syracuse is because someone I'm playing with has them cutting down the nets, and I'd like to see them eliminated!
How's your bracket looking going into the 2nd round, and who are you rooting for today and tomorrow?

'Nove going down to the wire again
Makes me wonder how far they will go? I have them losing to Baylor in my bracket…
Just as I say that
‘Nova goes on a little bit of a run. St Mary’s may be running out of gas. We’ll see

I Know
that some ISU fans would like to see the Cats go down today, but it ain’t gonna happen.
Yes, BYU shoots free throws well and my Cats have this problem with fouls, but if the game is called right, KSU will be getting their share of fouls as well and BYU does not have the bench KSU has. Our defense will be the key and BYU gets beat by 6, minimum.
Yeah
K-State just has that uncanny shot selection.
Pomeroy has this as a 1 point game with about a 51% chance of KSU winning it. It’s going to be closer than you think if both teams play to their abilities.

Don't take it personal
You sound like an alright guy. I just think it’s going to be a close game.

You were right
I was wrong. Congrats to your team.
My track record for predictions continues to suck

I want to see UNI pull this off.
At this point, Iowa should just declare themselves the world's 1st professional wrestling team and give the rest of the NCAA a chance.
Sick win
They busted Obama’s bracket. My bracket was ruined with Nova going out. But I like seeing the smaller teams moving forward. Makes my day.
It's mixed for me
I have to give UNI credit and I give them props for beating the #1 team. And typically I like seeing big upsets in the tournament
BUT, I can’t stand UNI. Maybe it’s because I’m not a native Iowan, but I don’t root for UNI, Drake, and Iowa when they aren’t playing ISU. If that makes me evil, then so be it.

Well
Half of my Final Four is gone, including my champion.
Wisconsin and Duke: Your turn to blow it, so I can go 0/4!
