UF is in the "Motion Bracket." The teams you mention are in the "Victory Bracket." The winner of the two brackets DO NOT play at the end. So there will be two champs. Odd isn't it. I just figured this part out tonight.

Thanks much Insti. It confused me not having one final champ in PK80 Participants
VICTORY BRACKET ........................................... MOTION BRACKET
Arkansas ....................................................................... Duke
Oklahoma ................................................................... Portland State
DePaul ............................................................................ Butler
Michigan State ................................................................ Texas
UConn .............................................................................. Florida
Oregon ............................................................................. Stanford
North Carolina .................................................................. Gonzaga
Portland ............................................................................ Ohio State

I seems like the Victory Bracket has 3 really tuff teams, while our Motion Bracket has 5 tuff teams.
Be forewarned, Nike is running roughshod dictating uniform colors again. Media is treating that like the Victoria's Secret of Basketball. This is a sudden proving-ground for us ... Duke has already played 3 more games than we have.

I'm still pissed about this tourney. Had tix and hotel reserves done. Family from Washington State was going to meet us there. Everyone flaked over the year and all decided it wasn't the best use of time over thanksgiving.

So... no one is going and now family coming to our house for the weekend. Still bitter.

Thought about it and exactly what I would do. However, this thing called a wife keeps getting in the way. If I went, I wouldn't be welcomed back.

Is there a reason they couldn't have put some blue on there? Numbers, trim, something?

Yeah, uhhhh, Nike? Our colors are Orange and Blue, not Orange and Black. That's Halloween.

If we play Texas, it is going to get confusing.

This will be a good early season test to see where we stand but its still very early in the season. Teams evolve over the season like our did last year. Alot of the unis look very basic.

Turns out at least one Wisconsin fan is unhappy about the Xavier fans taunting them with the Gator chomp:

Heck, from the clip I did not even take it as taunting.
