It's March Madness... few things are obvious locks!!

So by my count, the Big 12 is 5-0 in the first round with just 3 seed Mizzou left to go. Pretty nice start for the conference.

That's verrrrrrry true. The obvious ones never work.

Except for Western Kentucky. They should never be a 12 seed again.

Truly surprising to me. I didn't think we'd measure up like this.

Has anyone else noticed that one of the "American Airlines Arena" logos has been taped over - the one one the ASU end of the floor? I just noticed it, thought maybe it was a graphic.

Same here, pleasantly surprised with how well Big 12 teams are doing so far.

I'm with ya. I'm usually a huge Big 12 homer, but I picked against A&M and Texas this year.

**CycloneErik** · 03-20-2009, 02:17 PM

Color me stupid. I went and double-checked, and I picked every Big 12 team to win in the first round.

I thought that I picked Minnesota, but I guess not. Wow, I'm stunned!

**TarHeelHawk** · 03-20-2009, 02:18 PM

Would you look at that, it's none other than Ed Hightower!

**ClimbIowa** · 03-20-2009, 02:19 PM

3 brutal games in the next round against Pitt, UConn, and Duke, but 3 of 6 in the sweet sixteen would be very respectable.

**The_Architect** · 03-20-2009, 02:21 PM

I think Okie State is going to give Pitt all they can handle, same with Texas. A&M plays good enough defense to make it interesting with UCONN.

Okie State wouldn't surprise me at all. Duke and UCONN are very vulnerable for high seeds.

I did the same without even realizing it.

Another weak technical foul for hanging on the rim!

**CycloneErik** · 03-20-2009, 02:57 PM

Cornell and ETSU are hanging in a lot better than I expected for the 1st half.

Being a Cyclone fan, I understand that playing two halves is sort of important, but these games could really get good.
