Session 2 correct since it's the second game? Never been to a NCAA tournament game.

I would like to apologize to all the professors I won't be paying attention to this week...

It'll probably be closer to 10:30 than 10:00. Games are running much longer than normal in the tournament because of longer timeouts and officials obsessively checking the monitor.

Winner of this game will have a easy road to the final four

I wouldn't think that. The Irish gave them a good game back in December, and, well, Wisconsin is Wisconsin. One game at a time.

Jeebus. That's freaking late. Lol tix are minimum $225 in the nose bleeds. Unfortunately, that's too rich for my blood. :(

I live 30 min from UNC campus, everybody knows I bleed Crimson. I can't wait to sport Hoosier gear all week. Johnson and Paige are really good and experienced. It seems like they have an infinite supply of front court players. We will need to shoot at a high percentage. Both teams like to push the tempo, it will be a fun game to watch. Go Hoosiers!

UNC fans were concerned about being the late game. Apparently their team plays poorly this time frame.

I LOVE our chances if we can knock off UNC. Either of ND or Wisky on a neutral court doesn't scare me. I did pick UNC to win the whole thing.

Rojo said he re-agrivated the bone bruise he's dealing with. Let's hope he's ready to go. I think it will take a lil more than just good 3 point shooting to win this. I remember watching Duke/UNC game at Cameron and Duke was knocking down its 3s but could do nothing in the interior and eventually lost. We need to gang rebound, get some of their bigs in foul trouble and absolutely NO silly turnovers! If we do these things and shoot like we are capable then we should be successful.

Losing the low cut shoes and some tape would help. Looked like it wasn't even wrapped.

I really hate North Carolina. That is all.

Roy probably has a bed time for them so they don't miss their "classes" in the morning.

I thought the exact same thing. I thought, "why in the hell is that kid wearing low tops, with a bum ankle"? Not in my day...
