so... it is a bitter sweet day...
Although it is cool to have 4 number 1's make it to the final 4....making history in the process.... I cannot help but mourn the loss the horns suffered.... and as if losing wasn't bad enough, they had to go out on the wrong side of a blow out... Damn

I definitely feel bad, but...If D.J. stays in school, they'll be able to make another run at it...Memphis is just a good team, and I have to admit that I was one of those guys that didn't give them credit...Forget all that talk about tough conferences in basketball, that shit just don't pan out...If you can play, and you can play and win, you have a team, period...

Hard to believe that this is the first time 4 #1's have made it to the finals, but it shouldn't be shocking, all 4 of them have spent time at #1 w/maybe the exception of Kansas if I'm not mistaken...Pretty much every team that is there is there because they're one of the best teams in the country, so you can't be mad at that...It's some great basketball being played this year, that's for sure...

Memphis vs Kansas in the Championship game. What are your thoughts?

I'm liking Memphis in this game. Their size is gonna kill Kansas. Kansas has some big men to handle Dorsey and the other Memphis forwards, but the guard game is going to decide this. Brandon Rush can guard Chris Douglas-Roberts, but Kansas doesn't have a guard so can play against Derrick Rose.

Kansas was too streaky against UNC to really compete. I was surprised that they beat UNC the way they did, but then again, Carolina just wasn't themselves tonight

OK, I just want to say my bracket was OK until last night...Thanks, Heels...Man, I can't even say who I think is going to win this one...I'd want Memphis to win, and am thinking that after Kansas pretty much came out on fire last night, they might be flat if they can't come out and do the same thing to Memphis...If Memphis shoots the deep ball, this one will be over quickly...

I'll be w/beer and wings regardless, lol...Gonna be a great one, probably one of the best in years...This has been an awesome tourney...

Yeah no doubt that Chalmer's 3 was amazing. But if Memphis would have hit their free throws, there would have been no need for a 3 (or the 3 would not have tied the game)
