It's the most wonderful time of the year (NCAA tourney, baby!) - Page 4

Gotta stick with my original final four, being UNC, Kansas, Texas, and UCLA.

Have to say I think Xavier has a legit shot at UCLA, and I'm standing by by Texas pick, even though Memphis sure looked good yesterday. I think Texas is athletic enough to deal with Memphis's athleticism, and they proved they can handle big bodies when the handled Stanford rather easily.

Would love to see Davidson beat Kansas, though.....I love a good upset.

I don't see anyone beating UNC. They have it all.

Or not.

4th style of win, and not a bad time to finally have a win where they controlled the game beginning to end.

But you'll note I stuck with my original final 4 picks in my first sentence, which included UCLA.

I really, really want to see a UCLA - UNC final. We'll see how good Love really is. He's good, but I heard a commentator say there will be no one in San Antonio that can match up with him. I disagree.

And you should be picking on Sac. He flat out picked Xavier. I just said they had a shot.

Damn, is this still going? Couldn't they have this over with in a week?

They're all young and full of hops. Surely they could play 5 games in 7 days?

It would be 6 games, and they need the weekend sports viewer ratings.

Still one more glorious weekend to go.

Why? More than half the games in the tournament, including the final game, are held on weeknights. Almost three weeks seems excessive for playing even six games.

But mostly I'm just burned out and sick of the constant chatter about it while waiting for everybody to join conference calls.

scaeagles · 03-30-2008, 06:22 AM

Don't know. But I love it.

Well yesterday's games weren't half as good as I thought they'd be. Hopefully today's games will be more exciting.

The UNC Louisville game was pretty good.

Well, all I needed was one of Kansas, Memphis, or UCLA to not make it to the final four. That's all. Now, the best I can do in my pool is come in second.....to my 8 year old son. Do you know how much that sucks?

I still have to cheer for him to keep the money in the family, but what is my son going to do with $250????? If UNC wins it all, or UNC loses to Memphis in the final, he wins and I get second.

I'm thinking he has a great shot. I am almost certain UNC will beat Kansas, and Memphis looked really, really dominant again.
