Have a great Dance. To lunch on 'til we meet: 1) Since expanding to 64 teams (1979), the four #1 seeds have never met in the Final Four. 2) Heck, in the past ten years, the #1 seeds have had 40 (4x10) chances to get to the Final Four... they've made it 18 times (45%) 3) Duke, our regions #1 seed, has "only" made it to the Final Four three times in the past ten years. (heck, Michigan State has been there four times, as has North Carolina) 4) So let's show our #1 seed some respect... but fear playing them, NEVER! 5) Win your games, wait for the upsets of others.... and We'll See You In Atlanta!!!

Good luck to the Hawkers too...when the pairings first showed I thought we were playing Iowa because the TV at work is on an antenna and the reception isn't that great. I immediatley thought of you. The the next instant I realized Iowa was too good to be the 12 seed and figured it was Iona. My prediction? No one seeds make the Final Four....
