just completed my bracket.

i've got north carolina to beat memphis in the national final.

cinderella's include st joe's to reach the regional semi's and davidson to reach the regional finals.

Probably couldn't argue with any of those.

Memphis has been scary good this year and I watched their one loss to Tennessee on ESPN.

Playoff type atmosphere.

Memphis will have to improve their free throw shooting though as they'll be in some close games towards the end of the tournament.

changed my bracket again. memphis losing to texas now with a carolina-UCLA final.

roll on tomorrow!!!!

Some of the Sweet Sixteen games are going to be here in Houston at Reliant Stadium so if Texas gets to that point in the bracket, they'll play here. It'll be like home court for them with all the burnt orange supporters that'll be in the building.

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that Texas could make a run to the Final Four.

I noticed on talk radio they are commenting on your Rockets Bill. 22 games now is it? Second logest winning steak in NBA history. It must be big news if the are covering it on NPR.

...and it's over.

You jumped on just in time.

We weren't just beat last night, we were taken out back behind the woodshed.

No inside presence and Boston dominated every statistical category. They really look to be odds on favorite to win it all this year. Game recap below:

Oh well. Too bad

funny... Boston had plenty doubters at the beginning of the season... still coming out of the east shouldnt be too rough on them, only 1 other decent team and one other player to worry about, and they're handled the west pretty well so far. I just wonder how much more SA have in the tank, and whether LA are for real. Oh yeah, and will the Great Big Shaq Experiment blow up in Phoenix' faces. I hope not, have loved them the last few years.

I've never really watched/followed the college game tho. Always wanted to, just could never get into it.

 

[TX Bill]

Boston did and they've proved them all wrong.

Don't forget about the Detroit Pistons. They just dismantled the Spurs last week and are still a force. The Spurs are still the defending champions but I don't know if they'll be able to repeat. There's just too much quality out there.

The Shaq deal might not work out for Phoenix but it could have been worse. Look at what's happened to Dallas since the acquired Jason Kidd.

(Did you know that Steve Nash is a huge Tottenham Hotspur supporter?)

Ofcourse... he's even talked about investing/being on the board sometime in the future... the guy's like Mike Myers really.

Yeah, can't forget the Pistons, they are better than the last few years, but i think Boston will take them in the ECF. Anything could happen in the Wild Wild West tho, except Dallas progressing. Can't see them doing it with Nowitski as their FP. They should trade him while his stock is high. I'd take a Kobe, Lebron, Nash, Garnett or any other leading player over him. I just don't think he has what it takes to get it done when it's all on the line.
