in order to not clog up all other threads with the inevitable discussion that will ensure...

go wildcats.

UNC and UConn are unimportant teams?  they beat them...

UNC 16-16
UConn 17-15

Neither made it to the tournament.

Granted, Kentucky did beat Tennessee, Vandy, and Louisville, but otherwise they had a pretty weak schedule.

[ggw]

go wildcats.

Villanova, Kansas State, or Kentucky?

in their defense, they were ranked 11 & 12 at the time: http://espn.go.com/ncb/teams/schedule?teamId=96.  they both started strong, but had terrible end of seasons.

go wildcats.

Cant believe the Gauchos are making an appearance. I know that never happened when I was in Santa Barbara.

[James Ford]

I'm going with Siena to take it all.

Oh, that's right Sweetcell, I forgot to tell you.

Be sure to tell Sweetercell that I gave away my Travis Ford jersey in protest of the hiring of John Calipari.  He'll have them on probation in 3 years....

Washington, DC: If Kentucky wins its region, is it too cynical to immediately call it Kentucky's Future Vacated Final Four appearance?

Michael Wilbon: Man, that's cold...Funny line, but cold.

Sweetercell

love it.  i couldn't come up with a good name for the missus... sweetcellette?  la sweetcelle?  "sweetercell" is more to the point.

(she likes it too, fyi)

sweetcellmate ?

Calipari is poison.  The NCAA is pathetic.  If the NCAA doesn't fight to maintain the integrity of college sports, and the idea that these are actually college athletes, what's the point?

i thought college sports was about money and betting.

Vansmack: Great point and no. The better question is will Pitino then leave Louisville to "rescue the program once again" or will it be a washed up Billy Donovan's turn?
