    Oh, and no Kansas this year either. I want to be the most recent to repeat.

    Include Kansas in that . . . they would become the only other back to back.

    Yes.

    It's special that only two teams since the UCLA dynasty have won back to back titles: Duke and UF.

    Even more special . . . . back (BB) to back (FB) to back (BB). This accomplishment will probably never be matched. Few teams excel at both sports. And, even if they do, it's seldom at the same time.

    Adios Purdue. I believe there’s only been a handful of #16’s that beat a #1. Wowzer!

    I am rooting for Purdue. Why?

    Because I have a masochistic personality this season...for some reason.

    I root for whoever is playing any of our SEC rivals or against Miami, but in reality this year I could care less. It’s more about who I don’t want to win versus actually wanting a team to win since Florida isn’t in it.

    FDU came into the tournament at 19-15. Only 16 ever to win the play-in and then follow it up by beating the 1-seed. Amazing, and that's why the NCAAT is special. Purdue fans came in already booking their 2nd weekend lodgings.

    Purdue looked like they were playing with cement legs against those guys.

    Well, you got two left!

    I'm in a very large survivor pool, so who I root for changes every day lol. But having said that I would like to see KJ have a good tourney.
