It's all about the three.: The New York Times says three-pointers are the key to upsets in the NCAA tournament.

Kentucky's Tayshaun Prince made 6 in a 41-point performance against Tulsa. Maryland's Juan Dixon is a combined 9 for 15 in back-to-back 29- point games against Siena and Wisconsin Yeah, I'm a little worried about Kansas vs. Maryland this Friday. The Terps are atrocious at leaving the arc open, and Kansas is a fantastic team. Combine this theory with an already great match-up, and the Terps could be sent home. ( yeah, I'm a Maryland grad )

Don't worry remlap, Illinois will take care of Kansas for you.

remlap: shouldn't you be worrying about kentucky first?

I'm just afraid that Maryland gets ahead of themselves and worries about Duke (see ACC tournament results).

Going back on topic, the 3-point line in college basketball is too short. A hot team shooting the 3 can knock anyone off. I'd like to have them move it back to at least the international line.
