Good stuff Uconn!

I'm very nervous about the Pitt game though, I think they are going to lose.

Vegas has it at -2 Pitt

I feel bad for the 20 people with fewer points than I have, considering I know nothing and just guessed my bracket.

I don't think Conn has played that well all tournament. They've sorta limped into the Final Four.

Pitt is missing all the 2nd chances! Nova up by 2! Damn, it's getting very physical now. Might be too late for Pitt. Nova going for 1 and 1 here.

WTF did Nova just do w/ that retarded inbound pass?! Epic fucking fail! This ain't football you dumbasses! OMG, they're lucky that wasn't a 1 and 1.

Edit: No wait, it was 1 and 1. They called timeout after the 1st.

This is all Wanamaker's fault for fouling when Pitt was trailing by 1. Plenty of time left - all Pitt had to do was play some defense and get the ball back. There was enough time for Pitt to have the last possession of the game,

That travel call on Sam Young in the lane was utter bs. At least it was an exciting game but I wish Pitt had pulled it out.

*If* they get past Oklahoma they better prepare for what Duke could do nothing about... a physical pressure D!

And don't expect a phantom traveling call to save you guys this time, that Nova team might have been more talented but this one is more solid and resilient.

Good luck against Blake Griffin :)

bump because it's almost game time!

I'm expecting Louisville to move on but Izzo is the man around this time of the year.

also Gus Johnson is the best.

UNC has speed and an inside game that Duke lacks this year. I'm not expecting an easy game, but it's not hard to predict a Tarheel win if they make the 4.

Good luck against Blake Griffin :)
The 'Heels will have to use more of a rotation in the paint than they're used to. Hansbrough's good, but Griffin could definitely wear him out.

It will also be interesting to watch a former Blue Devil coaching against the 'Heels.

The Spartans are showing a lot of patience and discipline against the Cardinals' defense.

I don't think OU comes close to UNC in talent.
Yes, Blake Griffin vs Tyler Hanbrough is obvious but what about the underrated Deon Thompson and the emerging play of freshman Ed Davis (especially on the glass)?

OU's Crocker, Johnson, Willie Warren backcourt is not as good as UNC's Ellington, Lawson, Greene.

I don't see how OU will beat UNC.
