    Im going to let you guys decide for me. Ive never gotten into NCAA even though I love my Basketball (college games dont get shown over here much) but I want to get into it this year.

    Gimmee the basics on how everything works (structure etc) and also help me pick a team to follow for it. I want it to be someone with a chance of getting deep, but not the favs.

    Im too busy with work to look deep into it myself and I know it starts/started today (?) so help a brit out peoples

    This might help get you started.

    A team that is capable but not a favorite is Texas. They just need to figure how to get back to playing like they did early in the year.

    Yea, Vil. really put on a great show today

    If you want a team that can play with anybody go with WISCONSIN, they are #4 seed so are not really a favorite but could def. make a deep run if they get their shit straight.

    Just root for the underdog in every game, thats the real way to do it. Its so much fun to watch the smaller schools playing their hearts out and take down the big teams.

    Wisky is perfect for this as they are usually pretty solid but aren't an elite team (so you don't have to feel like a tool rooting for them) and they have the best/most awesomest coach in all of basketball in Bo Ryan
