Yes, things really look interesting this year. However, in the end it will be NC imho. Just too much talent and the best coach period. Roy Williams is the man! Wished he would come to KY, but it is doubtful. I say Travis Ford will be the next KY coach or perhaps Darrin Horn. VCU is becoming a a great team even with the coaching changes.

Cheers,

Phil

And now its down to FOUR.

The Heels made it look easy against Oklahoma. Do not underestimate Villanova, but I'm hoping their run has ended. Roy Williams is staying in Chapel Hill. He would have stayed at Kansas except for a phone call from Dean Smith that he couldn't refuse.

I was surprised at how well Michigan State did against Louisville. Their defense is first rate.

You are right in that Roy Williams isn't going anywhere. However, never hurts to dream. Yeah, Nova may be a shocker, but my bet is on NC. Guess, we will all know soon enough.

You can bet on Nova hanging tough. I wouldn't be surprised to see them move on to the final game. They are that good. The great thing is, we will know soon enough and I can't wait.

If anyone wants to make a lot of money, just take my picks and bet on the opposite team.

I had Memphis winning it all.

I am trying to think of the last time I picked a team that won.

Oh ... hang on ... I did call Louisville over Morehead State in round 1.

My official call ... Connecticut will win the final four.

My official apologies to all Huskie's fans.

Craig, I had Memphis doing much better than they did. The real shocker to me is Arizona making it to the Sweet 16!!!! That is impressive given they were a 15 seed. I agree that UConn looks quite good. However, so does NC. I have my money on them going all the way. Only time will tell.

Oh yeah and it makes for one intense rivalry. If nothing else, lots of good conversation............LOL!!!! Very good question if you ask me.

Folks, any early predictions? My guess is that it will be UCONN vs. UNC in the final. Of course, in the end it will be UNC. Anybody else see it differently? If so, now is your chance to speak up.

Cheers,

Phil

I'll tune in tonight...

and if there is an upset tonight it will be in the Uconn game, I believe MSU will have a huge bias playing on home turf. As for the Wildcats they'll keep it close, but in the end UNC will prevail and IMO win another National title Moday night. Now ain't that the kiss of death...

You know Billy, I like the way you think. After watching what Michigan State did to Louisville, you may be right. There could be a shocking upset in that game. Tom Izzo is an awesome motivator. However, in the end it will be UNC as they just have too much talent, depth, and the best coach period imho. Thus, that makes for a very potent combination. Lawson and Hansbrough are just too much to handle. Like all things, we will just have to wait and see.

Cheers,

Phil

 

[speakerman39]

Unbelievably, M. State won!!!! Congrats to Tom Izzo and his team. Come Monday night, they are going to be hard to beat. However, UNC is up to the challenge!!!!

Cheers,

Yeah, I thought UCONN would have been moving on. But, M. State was just too much down the stretch. It relly does not matter though, as UNC will rise to the top!!!! They are up by 11 already as we speak. Hope all is well my friend.

Cheers,

I'm not a huge sports fan, but I'll throw in my support for MSU as I grew up in the Big Ten. I'd rather it was Illinois, but MSU is cool, too.
