My father and I would go to the ACC tourney every year and then follow Maryland as far as they would go every year in the NCAA tourney.  We went to the Spectrum in Philly to see Patrick Ewing and Georgetown ruin my only chance to actually go to the final four.  You're right about the atmosphere - it's just very intense with the fans of different teams in little sections.  Before the ACC expanded, the first day of the ACC tourney was 4 games - 2 early, 2 late, and a big BBQ in the middle.  We were there for every second of every game.

Nothing's better for a 10 or so year-old than ditching school to watch unending hours of live basketball featuring Buck Williams, Albert King, Jordan, Worthy, Ralph Sampson, all the stupid Dook players, etc...  Just the best.
I'm not saying it's easy...walking into sweet oblivion.

Just got back from Vegas, had a blast watching games and betting....damn Louisville and Oklahoma couldn't score one damn point in the final 1:30???? I had $50 on the over which was 126.5...they scored a combined 126.  Fucking Farley missed like 7 free throws, one was wide right!  I still came out ahead on the weekend, and yes I did win money on my Spartans!  Considering betting on them against Memphis, I like our chances.

My hatred for all things Big 10 aside - I also like your boy's chances.

Man, I never even come close to winning these things.  Looks like I'm in pretty good position this year.  *Knocks on wood*

What do we win?

Me, fricken' too!  We've been so up and down all year that it makes me a bit nervous but for some reason getting out of the Big Ten seems to be helpful. The extent to which our sets, etc. are scouted seems to go down and we're more successful running stuff.

We have to shoot well and not turn the ball over (duh), which has been an achilles heel for us at times.

It'll be interesting to see the tactic Izzo takes.  We are actually a good running team but that plays into Memphis' hands. I think he'll try to run but back it out and make them play D if we don't have a layup...we'll have to work at it but I think we can keep them from running on us.

Should be a fun game to watch!

Too bad WKU couldn't pull it out last night.  Cards looked tough though.

Although I'm in fourth I think it's impossible for me to win based on the pics people in front of me have.  Oh well, after winning it last year I'll take a top five finish.

Oh, and someone owes me sweetpickles!

Jesus...friggin' perfect storm. I knew we were in trouble when Memphis was 4/5 from the free throw line.  They played maybe their best ball of the season in the first half and we of course, did not.  

I was pretty happy with how we played in the second half, freshmen stepped up and we actually got it to 14.  I almost went to bed at half (couldn't have slept for being pissed) but I figured it was Memphis and if anyone were to fold, they might.

Looking forward to the future fo' sho.

Now they are all that stands in the way of that dream matchup between the boys in the powder blue and rock chalk jayhawk Gregg.  I sure hope we get to see that, could go down as an instant classic.

Yup, the Kansas/UNC matchup that I'd been drooling over the entire season is one game away from happening.  I'm so stoked that we're in the Final Four though.  Everyone on that team deserves to be there (especially Tyler) and I'm real glad to see that they made it to the big stage.  Just two more games...I'd love to see another banner for next year:)

Hey, my wife was the only one to pick all Final 4 teams (I taught her everything she knows...)

Hopefully the BCS will be watching the Final 4 on Saturday and taking note. The 4 best teams in the nation playing in the semifinals, determined by a playoff format, and whoever is playing next Monday night for the championship will hear no belly-aching from anyone else b/c it was all SETTLED ON THE COURT.

Good luck gentlemen (and Go Memphis!)

is this guy smoooooth or what? He totally reminds me of myself when I was younger.
