NOW THERE ARE EIGHT
Before I go any further, I must say that Duke gets all the breaks. If my hatred for Duke wasn't so deep, I would have picked them to go to the Final Four. Oh well.
Anyways, the games...
Kansas 100, UAB 76
Big shocker.
The Jayhawks are going to the Final Four IMO. They're in St. Louis. You really think that's not going to be an advantage for them? Please. For the love of God, I hope in future years that teams are REQUIRED to fly for their NCAA Tournament games. Kansas was not a great team during the season, therefore they didn't deserve this "break".
That being said, get ready for the "Could Kansas win the national championship the year after Roy Williams leaves" stories. (Chris at A Large Regular stole my thunder there. But what can you do...)
Xavier 79, Texas 71
First we gonna ROCK, Then we gonna ROLL
Then we let it POP, GO LET IT GO
X gon give it to ya
He gon give it to ya
X gon give it to ya
He gon give it to ya
DMX, "X Gonna Give It To Ya", 2003
Xavier >>> Dante Hall (At least this version of "X" doesn't choke...)
Texas sucks. All is well with the world with the Longhorns losing. Well, just about everything.
Georgia Tech 72, Nevada 67
Say nighty-night, Wolf Pack.
Mr. Official won't help you guys every time.
Duke 72, Illinois 62
They get to play the first and second rounds in Raleigh, not even 30 miles from Durham.
They get to play the regionals in Atlanta, which is an ACC city.
They get all the calls. Coach K doesn't have to do sideline interviews at all. Chris Duhon is praised as the almighty God just because he's playing hurt. And the Cameron Crazies are the greatest fans ever, just because they jump up and down and yell.
I hope X gives it to them Sunday...
As for this weekend's schedule:
WEST REGION (Phoenix)
8 Alabama vs 2 UConn SATURDAY at 1:40 Pacific
EAST REGION (East Rutherford)
2 Oklahoma State vs 1 St. Joseph's SATURDAY 4:05 Pacific
MIDWEST REGION (St. Louis)
4 Kansas vs 3 Georgia Tech SUNDAY at TBA
SOUTH REGION (Atlanta)
7 Xavier vs 1 Duke SUNDAY at TBA
What is my Final Four out of that mix?
UConn, Oklahoma State, Kansas, and Duke (I hate Duke, but we all know what's going to happen). UConn-Oklahoma State National Championship Game.
Too bad I couldn't pick that when I needed to...
Later...
