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.

I watched Tennessee, actually. I always do, as I went to grad school and worked my first varsity hoops schedule when I lived in Knoxville.

They pulled it out. What chance do they have against UConn?

Are these the new college pants? Still beltless. A little more casual in style.

Congrats to Memphis for making it to the title game. They really played well. Ben Howland has to take some of the blame for his game plan, however, which surprisingly featured not giving the ball to Kevin Love in the second half.

BTW - do they have a special rule for the Final Four in which they do not make 3 second calls? I saw players on both teams in the lane for 5 and 6 seconds on many occasions and there was one time with about 6 1/2 minutes to go when I counted a Memphis player in the lane for at least 9 seconds.

Some officials have a slow count, about 1-1/2 seconds. But I was watching and counting when one of the big Memphis guys was on the lane line for three+, but then stepped farther in and got whistled. Had he gone for a step away, it prolly woulda been no-called.
