#6Oh man! If I'd seen everyone was already on UConn, I probably wouldn't have picked them. No way that many of us here will be correct even if UConn was the best regular season squad this year. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see an All Big-10 regional finals here betwixt Illinois and Mich State.Comment -
#10Sorry but UCONN makes me wanna puke. I couldn't vote for them.
Uconn may very well win but anything can happen.Comment -
