Final Four It Is


What more needs to be said? Even though the game went to overtime, it didn't feel nearly as riveting as the Duke game. Because LSU was so dominant inside I never felt Texas had a decisive advantage. Also, after the team beat Duke, I just had the sense that they can beat anyone else.

20 years ago LSU made it to the Final Four as a 11th seed. How neat is it that another 11th seed, George Mason, is back in the Big Dance with them. I don't think anyone can thoroughly explain why UConn struggled so mightily in the tourney with that supposedly superb frontline and its outstanding backcourt. Now I just hope Shaq will show up in Indianapolis to cheer on his alma mata. Earlier in the year many pundits thought SEC was a weak BBall conference, but now there's the high possibility of an all-SEC national championship game.
