TOURNAMENT TALK

***** Woo ! Baylor sure made me look bad. I said the Bears were not ready for the big stage . Baylor put a whupping on St. Mary's , then took Duke to the wire.The Bears were so muck quicker than Duke. I take it back Baylor . Way to go Bears

The Slow Devils used their size & good shooting to beat Baylor . Duke also did well rebounding . Defend & rebound will get you a long way in the Big Dance. This is the least athletic Duke team to reach the Final Four.Coach K is doing a good job of adjusting to his players abilities . Look for a real Snot - Knocker against WVA.

***** Tennessee should be in the Final Four . The Vols beat Ohio State ,& should have beat MSU. Scotty Hopson needs his butt kicked . He shot way too soon . Even if Scotty had made the basket the Spartans had plenty of time to win . Not smart. All said, Tennessee danced longer than they should have.

The Spartans are one ugly bunch . They are a Big Ten football team in short britches. Michigan State just hammers & hammers you till you colapse. They are always there . Give Izzo credit . Watch out Butler.

***** Yea ! Butler Bulldogs . Butler returns to their hometown to play in the Final Four . The Bulldogs are the Cinderella of the tournament . Butler's coach does not look old enough to drive & most of the Bulldogs don't appear to be shaving yet.

Butler is here because they play great defense . The Bulldog Jump & Switch defense has shut down everyone they have played . Will the Jump & Switch stop the stronger ,quicker Spartans ? We will find out Saturday .

***** I am not sorry Kentucky lost though I do like seeing Ashley Judd at the games . I don't think Cal does things the right way . No matter how many games & championships he wins , he will never get the stink off .

Kentucky had more talent than anyone in the tournament . It seemed like the Cats got every break & still couldn't win . Huggins out - coached Cal . Again ! Cal is not a good bench coach . If Cal was 10% the bench coach as he is a recruiter & salesman he would never lose a game .

John Wall is the fastest player end to end I have ever seen . But I think he gets away with charging 5 times a game .

Huggy did a great job . He had more impact than Cal . The 1-3-1 zone killed the Wildcats . Duke will do a better job against the zone than Kentucky .

Duke vs WVA will be a fantastic match-up . It should be a great Final Four . GO BUTLER GO !!!!!

***** What about the Baylor Lady Bears . The Bears' 6' 8" post player was too much for the Lady Vols . No Pat & Geno match-up this year . Congrads to Kim Mulkey & the Baylor Bears .
