Oh well,

[dfwgator]

Looks like UConn was our Kryptonite. Their guards were simply much better.

[deport]

Florida ignores UConn at their own peril my frined.. :)

****************

Good call.

[Clint N. Suhks]

Well my bracket is blown up now ;o)

[dfwgator]

Rare that a team’s last two losses in a season are to the same team.

[deport]

Yep, Got to get one SEC team in the finals.

[dfwgator]

Bad enough seeing FSU win the football title, now I have to watch Kentucky win the basketball title.

[skinkinthegrass]

WOW! ...FL (Gators), chomped, missed and now they're gone!...
watch out KY Wildcats!..*focus!* ..& don't stand around!
KY, the land of 10,000 basketball coaches. *grin*

[sushiman]

UCONN !!!! Obozo crying !

[deport]

At least DFW area had some great events this weekend with NASCARs two races and the final four.

[dfwgator]

I was just thinking maybe the Gators shouldn’t come back to DFW again...two years in a row now they’ve bowed out here.

Crap, the dumbest man in basketball Charles Barkley is picking UK.

[skinkinthegrass]

It seems to me their kryptonite was their soft schedule and overly high rating, plus a dash of Barky's incapacity to be right thrown in the mix.

They were also fortunate with their seeding and who they played to get to the four. I really think any of the other elite eight teams would have beat them just as readily. They simply can't deal well with a team that can handle their pressure and the rest of those teams would have eaten the pressure up and handed it back on a plate.

That being said, kudos to coach Donovan and his team for such a fine season.

I do feel sorry for poor Michigan State, Barky handed them the kiss of death with his bracket. Who knew he could empower UConn to the final.........

[dfwgator]

I will be the first to say they definitely overachieved.

They played well as a team, and they have a great coach, and that can get you far, however, eventually you’ve got to have the talent to win it all, and that was a bit lacking in the end.

The 04s were a much, much more talented bunch than these guys. But still, three elite eights and a Final Four, not too shabby.

[Lakeshark]

One of the top coaches, seemingly with class as well.

The tournament was wide open this year, no clear favorite, thought any of seven teams from the eight, plus a couple of others might have won give or take a bounce or two.

What a year.

Did any of Obama’s Final Four picks make it to the Final Four?
