First time ever 4 number ones have made it. All of them look very tough, I am really excited. For the first time in a while their is no favorite look at the first two games.

Memphis favored by 1 over UCLA

UNC favored by 2.5 over Kansas

You must love watching the Yankees play the Rangers in the World Series then. Yawn.

The Rangers? I'm very unclear on how this analogy is supposed to work.

The only thing that would make this more exciting is if BYU was in it.

That would actually be amazing. There would be no American League pennant winner and the National League would be pissed that it was unable to send a representative of its own league to play for the title.

UCLA vs. Memphis looks intriguing because the Bruins have that spectacular defense, while Memphis runs such a high octane offense.

Essentially though, Memphis is like a North Carolina-lite. The best game we could hope for is a UCLA vs. North Carolina final.

Collison v Rose

Chalmers v Lawson

Shipp v Douglas-Roberts

Robinson v Ellington


The matchups in this Final Four are what make it great.

How about Dorsey vs Love.

Kansas' athletic, swarming, frontcourt vs Hansbrough.


I'm looking forward to this Final Four more than any in a long time.

I meant to say the Dodgers and the Yankees, but I hate baseball.

That would be the AL Championship Series.

A better comparison would be Yankees/Dodgers.
