I haven't quite decided on the finals (I'm debating in my head), but I think the Final 4 will end up being Gonzaga, Pitt, UConn, and North Carolina.

Don't feel bad...a lot of these games were so close that it really could have gone either way :)

Quoting:
After Kentucky, Arizona and both North Carolina & N.C.State went down my interest in the tournament has dwindled to the horrible thought of Duke taking yet another one....I long for 1990 and UNLV ripping them a new one by a still record margin of 30....103-73....those were the days, my friend :D

Yeah I remember that UNLV team that had players like Greg Anthony, Anderson Hunt, Larry Johnson, and Stacey Augmon. Jerry "Tark The Shark" Tarkanian was coaching that team. That was a great team. I remember that game they lost to Duke in the 1991 NCAA Final Four a little bit. They went 34-1 that year what their only loss being to Duke in the Final Four in Indianapolis. Believe me I don't like Duke. I wish UNLV won that game. You know St. Joesphs reminds of that 1991 UNLV team alot if you think about it. UNLV played in that small conference called The Big West just like the St. Joe's now plays in a small conference. I can't wait for that ST Joes-Wake game tommorow with Wake's Chris Paul going up against ST. Joes's Jameer Nelson. Should be a good match-up. UConn is my fave team though.

Quoting:
Well St. Joes beat Wake and it looks like the Billy Packer-Phil Martelli fued is a thing of the past.

Quoting:
Maybe, but Martelli still hasn't proven Packer wrong yet. He might Saturday, but Okie St. should beat these pretenders.
However, that's what I've said for half of St. Joe's opponents this season, and look what they've done. :-/

Martelli did shake hands with Packer after the Wake-St. Joe's game. They shook hands Wednesday too. CBS just pulled a shock value stunt: They had Packer doing the St-Joe's-Wake game because of the Martelli fued and Packer went to college at Wake Forest.

I think St. Joe's is a good team no matter who they are playing. They are what 30-1 now? Nobody ever questioned UNLV in the early 90's so why question how good St. Joe's is? I don't understand it.

And how about Larry Bird and Indiana State in 1979? It had to take "Magic" to finally beat these guys.
And yes, people did question UNLV because the press hounded Tarkanian on his recruiting techniques and dwelled on his "towel eating".

Thats true you got me on that UNLV recruiting thing. I think after the 1991-1992 Season UNLV got in trouble with their program and sanctions were put down by the NCAA. Jerry's towel eating was funny though.

Anyway How about this Xavier team? Their something else. When I saw Duke play I thought J.J. Redick was Christian Laitner reincarnated from about 10-11 years ago That kind of scares me.

Georgia Tech vs Kansas I think if Georgia Tech doesn't have B.J. Elder available for Sunday's game they will be shorthanded vs Kansas. Will Bynum will have to pick-up the slack if B.J. Elder doesn't play like he did against Nevada for Georgia Tech on Sunday.

As far as Kansas is concerned this coach Bill Self he wins where ever he goes: Tulsa, Illinois, and now Kansas.

Quoting:
Shoot..I wanted to see Xavier play Uconn next week but won't get to see that. Duke vs Uconn should be an excellent but UConn I think should win the game.

Oklahoma State vs Georgia Tech..I think Oklahoma State will win but it will probably be a close game. OSU will probably win the game in the last 5 minutes I think.

I certainly hope you're right on both games, Tv ;)
