Bradley over Pittsburgh, thanks to a Patrick O'Bryant, 7-0 center you may be hearing more about and should be nicknamed Master and Commander.
Nienchtze lost her 2006 champ in the #5 seeded Pitt Panthers, and with a Michigan State first round loss, now has two of her Final Fours gone before the round of 16. Mark and Jason W. also lost big as they too had the Pitt team going to the Final Four.
Why was Pitt so popular in this pool? They were a#5 seed? Washington from the Pac-10 the only #5 seed to advance to the Sweet 16. Was it because they had Bronx native Carl Krauser? That they were coached by Ben Howland protege Jamie Dixon? That Dixon's younger sister Maggie coaches the Army women's bball team, who made the tournament for the first time ever? who knows. why.

Nobody in this pool had Bradley, from Peoria, Ill., going to the Sweet 16.
