POLL: How far do the Cats go in your bracket?

[CatManTrue]

I've waited a long time to ask this... so let's get to it.

How far do you have the Cats going in your bracket? Bonus points for additional information: such as, who do you predict they'll defeat for the national championship?

Of course I'm and optimist but I have a really good feeling about the first two games. After that I think they are tired but will face ND and beat them.

Alright, I'll cave too: I have Northwestern going to the Elite Eight.

I actually have Princeton upsetting Notre Dame in the first round. Simple logic: I like Princeton, tend to dislike ND, and wanted to pick at least one brain school for an upset - and I see that as much more likely than Bucknell over WVU.

So I have NU defeating Vanderbilt, Gonzaga, and West Virginia - then falling to Arizona.

I've been doing a pool with a three high school buddies for years. We do a draft where each of us gets 16 teams. I had the second pick and went with Kansas. I picked Duke in the second round, UCLA, in the third, and then finally in the fourth I couldn't wait any longer and went with Northwestern. I don't care if it's four rounds too early and Butler/Virginia were still on the board. I had to have them.

For the most part, on my serious brackets, I have NU losing to Gonzaga, but I do so many that I'm pretty sure I have at least a couple where they're in the sweet 16 or elite eight. My son picked them to go all the way. That's my boy.

In one bracket I have ND losing to Princeton and the 'Cats losing to Gonzaga. In another, the 'Cats defeat ND and advance to the elite 8. Alternate universes anyone?

John Shurna's bracket has us winning the national championship by 100 to 0 over North Carolina

Is Football Phil an NU men's hoops fan? Sorry, dumb question.

RIP footballphil. I wish that hero would be in Utah to intimidate opposing teams & fan bases into submission.

I think they will get to the round of 32 and lose to Gonzo. Otherwise it may be clean sailing in this division if they knock off Gonzo.

I'm thinking that Gonzaga is overrated. Every one is claiming they're the best defensive team in the country... but how many good offensive teams did they play? From what little I've heard, BYU lit them up from 3 point range for their one loss.

First things first: beat Vandy.
