We've had three blowouts(although Kentucky-Buffalo was fun for 34 minutes and 6 straight terrific basketball games.....all decided under 6 points or less. This has been one of the better opening weekends in a while for the NCAA tournament. Terrific Basketball!!!

I believe if you look back in the archives you'll see that I predicted Cindy wouldn't make it past the first weekend and in typical Mick Cronin fashion, they didn't. Over rated, poor coach in AA subpar league. Enjoy the off season, Mick!

Shocked this morning by Xavier's loss... t hey seemed to have the game well in hand when I went to sleep. But then, so did Cincy at about the same point in their game. Wow...
Of the teams I saw this weekend, Villanova looks the best to me. They're scary good. They have a mix of vets and young talent. And, they can play just about any way they have to. A&M looked a LOT better than when I saw them earlier this year. They're VERY physical.
I'm not surprised at all by Texas Tech. I had them picked to go to the Elite 8 in my brackets. They're good, and finally healthy again.
I feel good about Kentucky getting to the Final Four now. Beyond that? I doubt they have the poise to pull it off. They are, without a doubt, as TALENTED as any team remaining in this tournament. But, they're not the best "team".... still a work in progress. But, as usual...they're progressing a rapid clip. I wouldn't bet against them.

Not a good day for people in Cincinnati,Bearcats and Musketeers go down, OY! VEY ! This is the year where if I were to go asleep for three weeks and woke up to find out someone like Loyola Chicago had won the national championship.......I would not be that suprised. I don't think they will.....I don't they'll get past Kentucky, but if they do I wouldn't be to terribly suprised. I think Villanova, Duke, Texas Tech and Purdue are the teams I would put as favorites for the national title.....but this is a year truly anyone can win it and it wouldn't surprise me. |

I like Duke or Kansas or Nova. I'm the polar opposite - anyone BUT Duke or Kansas. Nova would be fine. |

I wouldn't bet against them. I think A+M looked as good as anyone over the first weekend but lets see if they can do it again in the Sweet Sixteen and Elite 8 - if they can match their recent play, they should waltz into the final four. The Xavier team you saw Sunday night was not the same team I watched all season long. They got into foul trouble, lacked rhythm, missed foul shots, got rattled and worst of all their best player didn't show-up. The key was Macura being in foul trouble and eventually fouling out - they just fell apart when JP left the floor and that was really disappointing. The saddest part of that was 2 of the fouls called on him were complete atrocities and a third was borederline - he got screwed. They also lost their starting forward to an injury in the first half and he was their best perimeter defender. Despite playing with subs for a great deal of the game - at one point 4 starters were on the bench with foul issues or injuries, if they just make their foul shots they would have won. They were the 6th best foul shooting team in the country and they made 63% on Sunday. Just a sad way for one of the best teams in school history to end their season. I thought this was the year to crack the final four but they remain the team with the most NCAA wins without a final final four appearance. |
