Quote to note: "This year is so open. There's a lot of good teams. I think the favorites will be a Duke or IU as well. I'm happy that I'm able to root for two teams. Obviously I'm Marquette through and through in my heart but Coach Crean is a father figure to me and wherever he goes I go in heart as well. IU I became a part of that program in heart as well." — Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade on his NCAA tourney pick. (Via GameOn! USA TODAY Sports)
