Final four

[esoxx]

I see Florida and LSU winning their games and meeting in the Final. LSU to prevail.

I'm rooting for GM but I think Cinderella runs out of magic here.

The just have to wear down Noah. They where resilent against NC and Uconn.

Not this time

Those were two of the boring-est (and I'm being polite) b-ball games I've ever seen.

The final better be a competitive match-up, but I'll get the booze ready just in case.

I take it you haven't seen an NBA game in a while, eh FC?

But I agree, it was Snoozeville. Should have a good matchup come Monday though.

You got that right - and it's by choice, I assure you.

And, as such, I shouldn't complain too much. College b-ball is such a superior product to the NBA - with an amazingly dramatic playoff system - not to mention that we're rooting for students.

Tonight's games were still crummy, but ya know....it was still better than seeing the "usual suspects" (Puke, UConn, UNC, etc.) or the defense-less NBA.

Also...was it just me, or did it seem like FLA neutralize Geo. Mason exactly how they did with UW-Milwaukee?

They've been dissed all year (FLA), so I hope they keep it rolling. But yes, the championship match-up seems promising.

Ah...what do I care, anyway? Already won my primary pool before tonite.

Yeah, it should be a good one. Florida has a much better perimeter game than LSU too, which was exposed tonight. Still, I'm impressed by UCLA's athletism and active defense. Ben Howland has done an amazing coaching job and for my money is one of the best in the nation.

The Tourney is amazing. I actually find the first couple rounds the most enjoyable versus the Final Four. To me, that's where "The Madness" really sets in with a bunch of crazy upsets, nailbiters and wall to wall action. Plus, when a blow out does occur, the network can switch us to a more competitive game to watch, which wasn't the case this evening. Gotta love it!

Oh yeah...LSU was PAINFULLY exposed, but yet is was their D that disappointed.

But in the end, the NCAA tourney isn't too much different than the NFL playoffs. Same thing - divisional rounds typically are exciting while the conference title gams are big yawners (think SEA vs. CAR and PITT at DEN this year). Sad but true. Doesn't diminish the success of the system, though!

Well I was 0 for 2 last night. About as good as I did on my bracket. GMU played hard but couldnt handles Florida's size. Didnt even bother to watch the other game but since it's Cali vs. Florida I gotta root for UCLA.

Underdogs are great to cheer for; I was hoping George Mason would win it all.

But last night was an example of what occurs when teams that aren't suppose to be in the final four are. Ugly blowouts.

I love the final four but yesterday was flippin boring.

A real problem is that they schedule commercials assuming that it is a high-interest event, where people will sit through 3 minutes of commercials to see 6 minutes of game.

I wonder if ANYBODY in the entire country actually sat through both games, including watching all the commercials. That would be super-human.
