So, I'm in the break room microwaving my Smart 1 Lasagna. As I'm looking at the box, I see the conventional over directions. - Jim Mar 28, 10:12 3

  - Sidenote: VCU was 2500 to 1 at the start of the year. I wonder how many tickets are out there. -- nm - David Mar 28, 10:13 11
    - Even those odds seem way too high. And I heard 175:1 at the start of the tournament. Who was betting on them?? -- nm - Don Homer Mar 28, 10:14 10
      - What's strange to me is that you couldn't even pick them on Yahoo. - David Mar 28, 10:16 9

        The obvious answer is that we need to expand again! -- nm - Don Homer Mar 28, 10:18 7

        Ah. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 28, 11:03
- At this point, I don't see UConn losing. They're on the most amazing run I've ever seen and I just don't see it ending. -- nm - Jim Mar 28, 10:11 4
  - I think they've overachieved and are facing a much more complete team next. -- nm - David Mar 28, 10:12 3
    - I agree...but the fact that they're in the final 4 means I can't pick against them anymore. -- nm - Jim Mar 28, 10:13
    - In some ways, all four teams remaining are overachieving. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 28, 10:13 1
