Any NCAA Tournament junkies out there?

Stevebody,
Well Duke is still in it. When my nephews were at Duke (one of them during Christian Laettner's time) I was astounded to find out the hatred among NC State, UNC-Chapel Hill and Duke fans. I'm from Nebraska where there is one big university (Creighton and Nebraska Wesleyan etc. don't count) and the whole state unites behind the Cornhuskers. I naively thought that UNC fans would root for Duke when not playing each other, etc.
I'm wiser now. Once I mentioned Duke in Raleigh or Cary and the other person said Duke is a four-letter word in these parts.
I do have some kind feelings toward Maryland. One of my best friends started in the nursing program at Duke but changed majors and colleges and graduated from Maryland. She still lives in College Park and is active with the alum group and I have attended a football game with her. I also lived in Prince George's County Maryland for three years in the 70's.
UNC may be formidable next year. Several outstanding freshman players this year.
