Washington had plenty of chances at the end that they squandered. Disappointing.

The difference between how attractive Duke and UM cheerleaders are is palpable.

Indeed. Just like Michigan, Michigan really had some chances at the end especially on that very last play, poor decision making cost them.

Im on to root for the final Pac-10 team Arizona over Texas.

They sure do look impressive.

I actually have Kansas beating them by 3 in the Final, but what do I know...my brackets are shot to hell...6 losses by a total of 14 points....

I don't think Kansas has the guards to win this thing. One of the problems with having a front court as the strength of your team is that its so easy to lose patience working the ball to them in tournament games as soon as you find yourself down 6 or 8 points. You need guards that can score and create their own shots to bail you out of your offensive breakdowns. Kansas has exactly zero of those guards and they're a couple cheap fouls away from having to put their two most productive players on the bench. They also are a very poor free throw shooting team. They're built for the regular season.

Hard to tell, but I guess you're right. I suppose OSU will be favored. UK had great guards last year, and what happened? Perhaps Selby can get hot for one game, but he hasn't played well recently. The Morris twins are for real, but so is Sullinger.

If OSU goes cold like they did in the Big-10 tournament, and also have foul problems.... I think either team is capable, but today OSU is simply on a different level than all the others. Scary. They have of that 'Cuse/Melo feel: a good core (except OSU's is veteran-scary) with that one special player to put them over the top.

But since UCLA is out, and I don't really like OSU-Kansas-UNC, and can't stand Duke-Kentucky-ND-Florida, I would actually love a 'Cuse-UConn Final. Or for SDSU to pull the shocker!

I'd be surprised if Duke and Ohio State didn't meet in the semis in a de facto NC game before the winner goes on to beat whoever comes out of the other side of the bracket in a 12-15 point borefest. I'm thinking Notre Dame.
