Not a close game at all, at least in the 2nd, but SDSU finally breaks BYU's mojo and beats them by 18 for the Mountain West championship. Poet was right, it tough to beat a team 3 times in a row.

5 wins in 5 days, UCONN beats UL. Very good game also. Feel bad for the UL kid who missed freebie #2, then hit freebie #3. Still, they had a good look for the tie, it just didn't make it. I really thought UCONN's legs would be gone for this game, even though these are kids. Walker looked good again.

Great SEC tourney, and UK appears to be coming on strong in time for the Dance!!!!

Figured THE would win out today, and they did well.

Really expected a better game for the ACC; Duke never let NC have a chance, from what I saw. Figured this would lock one of the #1's for Dook, and it did.

Some really good games this last week!

Just got back in, so I'm still digesting the brackets. But...Florida a #2 and UK a #4?!?!?!?!?!? And SDSU a #2?!?!?!?!?!?!? I'd have given UCONN the #2 over SDSU or Florida. I really thought UK might have landed a #3.

Very interesting that Morehead State draws a #13 and plays UL. Would have been so great if Murray had won and pulled that game.

We have a great couple of weeks coming up!!!

good points.

I might be bias but i thought UW was going to get better than a 7 seed. Huskies are going to demolish Georgia!!

I agree on both points. I really didn't think the Bulldogs should have gotten in, even though I'm a SEC fan. Good luck to your Huskies!!!

There is little doubt that the Pac-10 has fallen mightily in the estimation of the "experts", even though they gave evidence with their success in last year's tourney that they were better than advertised. Still, you must confess that your Huskies did not exactly play up to their pre-season expectations, so have no one but themselves to blame for their seeding woes. Yeah, a five may have been justified, but consider . . . all things being equal, who'd you rather face in your first game, Georgia, or the winner of the UAB/Clemson game? Were I you, I'd be happy where I'm at.

Were the Bulldogs one of those "play-in" teams, those supposedly last 8 to make the cut, I'd have less of a problem with it. But do you really expect me to believe they are better than Clemson, UAB, VCU, or USC? Hell, those last two are playing for an 11-seed, while the Bulldogs get a 10-seed handed to them?

Oh well, you still have to win the games anyway, regardless of your seeding. So, Washington knocks of Georgia easily, you say. Then, assuming no upset by LIU, how do you think they will fare against the Tar Heels, in Charlotte? See what I mean?

Yeah, tough road for the Huskies, but they ARE in. Be nice to see the Bulldogs make me eat crow though.

Missouri State looked pretty good to me. Murray "should" have a game on its hands. They've not done well in their NIT invites; it'd be good if they could "vent" a little at the junior prom .
