Damn those Wolverines!  First they outwin us Illini during the regular
season, then they outchoke us :-)

MSU doesn't surprise me.  They played well down the stretch, except for
the Indiana game, and if you had told me only one Big 10 team would crack
the Final 16, I would have given the Spartans serious consideration despite
their schedule of initial games (maybe not despite, Georgetown didn't impress
me that much this year.)  It's too bad they draw Kansas now; whoever wins that
may only be a Duke away from going all the way.
