Any chance "Mama calls" and 'Bama swings a trade with Dayton for a new coach? Archie Miller, one of the three or four top young 'uns working the sideline.
Oh, yeah: Lesson in tradition, be it football or basketball: Never count out any team who knows how to act (and play) like it's been there before. That would be UK, 5-star hordes on the floor notwithstanding.
Here's the weekend Elite 8 game schedule:
Dayton #11 S vs. Florida #1 S FedExForum (Memphis, Tenn.) Saturday, March 29 6:09 pm TBS
Wisconsin #2 W vs. Arizona #1 W Honda Center (Anaheim, CA) Saturday, March 29 8:49 pm TBS
Connecticut #7 E vs. Michigan St. #4 E Madison Square Garden (New York, N.Y.) Sunday, March 30 2:20 pm CBS
Kentucky #8 MW vs. Michigan #2 MW Lucas Oil Stadium (Indianapolis, Ind.) Sunday, March 30 5:05 pm CBS
I would love to see the kitties wax UM!
Whisky over Zona?
Dayton is playing very good and will be a challenge for Florida.
U Conn vs. MSU......wonder how that one will go. MSU had a huge battle with UV last night and might be a little fatigued. We'll see.....

I think wisky wins. I think MSU still has some in the tank. I am flip flopping over Dayton vs Florida and Kentucky vs. Meeeshigun.
I hope all of us who pulled for UT yesterday have had a good scrubbing in the shower. I felt so dirty...
I was at the sweet 16 in Indy yesterday, so I got to see the Stokes call live. Yes, UT got screwed over. Stokes lowered his shoulder, and the defender sold it well, but it was a call that shouldn't have been made. On a second note, I will give the UT faithful credit, they had a much better attendance than I was expecting. It was no where near the UK or Louisville faithful, but they seemed to be pretty close to the amount of Michigan fans.
The second game was crazy. I was sitting in a Louisville section, and they were as rabid a fan base as I have ever seen. However, I was marginally disappointed by the UK folks. They traveled well as you would expect, but they seemed rather passive up until the last 3 minutes. Almost more like there was nothing but bandwagon fans for them. Still, it was incredible to watch the two fan bases interact. They hate each other with the same fervor that we hate Auburn, so the dynamics of their interactions throughout the game was quite fascinating. It was a great win for the Cats, and for the SEC in general. It's quite impressive for the SEC to put 2 of it's top 3 teams into the elite 8, and the other take last year's runner up down to the wire.
For the rest of the year, I will say Go Blue and Go Gators, but then after that I'll get back to disliking them equally. RTR

I was just looking at Florida's schedule. Their two losses were on the road to Elite Eight teams by a total of seven points. Wow!!!
I'm not watching but no that can't be the same Pollard because he is at a JuCo in MS (I think).
Congrats to Bazza for his Gators in Final Four.
It isn't hard to like Billy Donovan and the hoops Gators. Besides, Bazza is a good citizen on Tidefans.com. Hoping for a Gators vs Spartans final.

Final Four? They're on the same side of the bracket.
I was watching after the game and I think it was Reggie Miller saying this was Donovan's best coaching job because he didn't have any 1st or 2nd round picks on his team. Now I don't know if that is true, but you don't have to have top NBA draft talent to have one of the most talented teams in the country

Well, dang. :wink:
Changing my "hope for" to Spartans v Gators with Spartans going to final. I like and respect Bazza, but not that much. :biggrin2: It's the other Gator fans that are insufferable.
they may not have that 1st round talent but they have a rotation full of good, quality players. and u are correct, u dont have to have the most talent.
