You're getting help from that doctor guy from the Love Boat?

Speaking of Davidson....How much fun is Curry to watch!

Kid is a ball player....

I have Kansas/Texas in the Final game...but at this point...I'd love to see little Davidson knock off the Jayhawks. That team doesn't seem to fear anybody and they obviously have a special player in Curry. My only fear is if he goes cold, do they have some other guys who can step up.....Curry is averaging close to 35ppg in the tourney.

I'd love to see Davidson do well also. I have never had a bracket blow up like this. I got 2 of 8 right in the elite 8 and a max of two right in the final 4. I'm at the point where good games are the only enjoyment now. I let my brackets go last week. Oh well, better luck next year.

"The committee certainly did a great job of seeding."

[DonInKansas]

I was pleased with KU's defense down the stretch; Curry only had 3 points in the last 8 minutes.

Most Overhyped topic this week?

Roy Williams versus KU.

I have been mathematically eliminated from the bracket chamionship. Funny how this year, with all the early upsets and destroyed brackets, the four left standing are all the #1 seeds. For the first time in the history of the men's tournament.
Maybe next year none will make it.

[rainmaker]

Well, the women's side won't be all four #1's. #2 LSU already surprised #1 UNC, beating them 56 to 50, and #2 Stanford has a 10 point lead over #1 Maryland at half time. I don't expect Rutgers to beat UConn tomorrow, though, although they've beaten them once this year, and I doubt Tennessee will be bested by Texax A& M.

I don't blame the committee for seeding Stanford as a #2. Although they have Candice Wiggins, the team as a whole has been a little unpredictable this year. But tonight my personal hero JJ Hones from Beaverton, Oregon is hitting big time, ( scoring 17 in the first half), and the team has hit 7 of 11 3-point shots. They are definitely on their game so far. I just hope it lasts.

It did! Stanford goes on to Tampa next weekend. The bad news is they'll meet UConn. Well, they beat Tennessee early in the season. We'll see if they can pull off another upset! (JJ Hones scored 25 points, the second best on her team, and third best for the game. Woo-hoooo!!!)

Signs you're watching way too much NCAA basketball courtesy of David Letterman:

10. At a dinner party, you make guests tip-off for every pork chop
9. You’ve got a tattoo of Jim Nantz where a tattoo of Jim Nantz shouldn’t be
8. You name your child “Gonzaga”
7. You just checked into rehab to kick a $500-a-day nacho cheese addiction
6. You got a 35 second shot clock in your bedroom
5. Constantly asking “What would Michigan State coach Tom Izzo do?”
4. Snack plus lack of activity equals sweet sixteen chins
3. You’re so caught up in basketball, you don’t even care that “The Hills” Audrina is about to go on her first date since breaking up with Justin Bobby
2. Kick everyone’s a$$ in Scrabble by putting “Krzyzewski” on triple word score
1. You’ll watch anything leathery and orange on CBS – even Letterman

Personally, I think number 6 is by far the funniest.

BTW - Letterman even made fun of how Coach K pronounces his name vs. how it's spelled. He said that's like pronouncing "L-E-T-T-E-R-M-A-N" as "Schnauzer".

The scrabble one is pretty funny, but any scabble player worth his salt will challenge the use of a proper noun. On the other side of the coin, what is proper about Duke?

Or Krzyzewski?

Rutgers is AHEAD of UConn!?!? Holy Cow, they led by 10 at the half, but UConn is catching up. Great game!

Well, it was a great game, but Rutgers lost in the end. Doggone it. So the final four will be two #2's and two #1's. I think the chances of either of the #2's getting to the final are slim to none, but it's gonna be a great final four. Lots of terrific competition.

Is there a game on? I thought the Final Four was on Saturday. You must be talking about an NIT game.

Actually, I am hoping for an NIT final to feature FL-OSU. Wonder if that has ever happened? NCAA finalists in one season play for NIT title the next.
