The last two members of the Final Four will be set today. Can we do the first few rounds over? I don't want college basketball to end.
With the path Kansas has had and will have in front of them, Jayhawk fans should be very disappointed with anything less than a title.
VCU tries to make that ridiculous 11-8 Final Four match-up happen, as Butler fulfilled their half yesterday.
A couple scrappy programs trying to get to the Final Four. Can one of these cinderellas use this run to propel themselves to the national stage?

Someone like Jeff who is smarter about basketball than me please explain why this is happening.
This is an anomaly like I’ve never seen.

So who associated with VCU sold their soul for this tourney run?
"If you want your dreams to come true, don't sleep in."
I honestly haven't seen most of the game
Only got home about 20 minutes ago
Indeed
NCAA just got a big argument on the play in games being legitimately part of the tournament. Whether I agree or not.
It's definately not the first round
But whatever. It’s not changing now, that’s for sure.
I am so confused
0 #1 seeds in the final four? Seriously?

So Butler v. VCU for the right to play for the title.
Only Shaka Smart’s 2nd cousin who went to Butler then and got his masters from UConn has his final four in tact.
"If you want your dreams to come true, don't sleep in."
I bet there are some USC fans that had their team in the Final Four.
Then never changed their bracket after USC lost.

Hadn't thought of that.
I wonder what % of FF VCU picks were actually for USC.
CougCenter: Streamin' and Threadin'
I'd bet that guy that has VCU, Kentucky, Butler, and UConn in the Final Four
and VCU winning the title is a USC fan.

The First Four, ladies and gentlemen!
A horrendously stupid idea that just got validated in the NCAA’s mind.

Are you all ready for Matt Howard...tournament Most Outstanding Player?

Sorry for being late to the part
but why do you all hate Matt Howard so much? Were there shenanigans in the Diamond Head Classic that I didn’t witness?
Yeah. He was doing all sorts of dickish and dirty things.
That culminated in him laying on top of DeAngelo Casto as he was screaming in pain because his ankle was pinned underneath of him.

Geez, I had totally forgotten about that.
Thanks for reminding me. I don’t remember the small dirties, but I do remember the flop on Casto.
I won't even flag this for swearing
Because it is so true.

Sorry Kentucky-North Carolina....
But I’m about to go fight the Collectors. I’ve put it off long enough.

Has had a great tournament, but every time they do a closeup, I hear dueling banjos.
I need Kentucky to win this
Because my closest competitors in my money bracket have UNC in the final four. None of them have Kentucky. This would be huge for me.
Two observations that may or may not be Gin-influenced.
1) North Carolina is getting some questionable calls in their favor in this half.
2) Clark Kellogg has a huge man-crush on the Tar Heels.
