Wow, go UConn. What a totally unexpected run they've had this month.

It's really impressive when I consider just how bad they looked (except Shabazz) against St. Joseph's in their first round of the tournament.

I'll be curious to see if anyone I know has a Brackett that survived to the final four, much less the National championship.

If anyone does, you'd be well advised to accept any and all stock tips they may have for you in the future. And maybe suggest they get a patent on the flux capacitor if they haven't already.

Best guards in the country by a mile, great defence, great coaching. Kentucky has 8 players that would start, had they enrolled at UConn, in front of everyone but Napier.
This guy could have helped by staying at UConn. Not just UConn, but his own future. Blew a chance to go first round.
Knucklehead move.

For motivation, the Rockies have stenciled the numbers 1 to 100 in their locker room and fill each one out after a win. How's that going to look in July or August if they're still on losing-season pace?
