Thanks for posting this and the other ones, and in reality, I probably should have canned a few more of those "Happy _______ Day" threads, but after a certain point, I was simply impressed that March 16th had a very crowded field when it came to being the supposed "national" day for various things, not to mention the fictional celebrations for March 16th that were suggested.

These late starts aren't ideal. Wouldn't be surprised if Kansas and Seton Hall goes into triple overtime and we tip off at 11:00. I also can't believe I'm going to be cheering for teams coached by coach k today and boeheim tomorrow.

During M's 2013 Championship run (with the Louisville Lapdancer's forfeit, M can kind of call itself champion now) Duke eliminated Sparty in the Sweet Sixteen. Duke and Sparty could well meet in the SS again this year. Even with the monumental upsets that have already occurred, Duke should get by Rhode Island today and Sparty has the talent to penetrate Syracuse's zone tomorrow. Whoever wins the Duke/Sparty matchup then (probably) has Kansas as the main obstacle before facing Villlanova in the Final Four, where (if Sparty should win) could result in an M-Sparty, big-enchilada final contest. Possible, but for Sparty, not probable (still, it's OK for a mere fan to look ahead).

Anyone want to predict an M vs U of Maryland-Baltimore County Final Four meeting?
