I would like to see the following final-four.....

UW-Milwaukee vs Texas Tech
NC State-Utah

Not likely but would be pretty funny.

I'd like
UWM vs. WV and NC State vs Utah.
Then Utah and WV take each other on in the championship. Then its a decision between weird looking Aussie(Bogut), and ugly looking hillbilly(Pittsnogle). That would be hilarious

I'd like to see Georgetown, Air Force, NC State, and the Sacramento Kings in the Final Four, thus showing the greatness of the Princetown offense.

I'd rather see the Wizards or WVU in the Final Four than an ACC team like NC St. It'd still communicate the greatness of the Princeton, without giving the ACC any glory. ;D

That'd be a tough game for the Hoyas against the Wizards or Kings. I still see them pulling it out, of course, but it'd be a good game for sure.

Why is the media and las vegas baggin on the Huskies (not of the Yukon variety)... I hope they smash Louisville tonight - the east coast biased is killing me. this is a team that beat oklahoma, utah, nc state, and arizona twice. you don't have to pick 'em, but show a little respect.

I'm cheering for Louisville to make it 3 years in a row for the Big East.

I assume you mean having the defending champ 3 years in a row? They aren't technically part of the BE yet, right?

[jerseyhoya34]

Close enough...

They looked downright scary tonight running right over UW. Garcia is making himself a whole heap of cash with his play. Where some stars have come up short - Warrick, Gramhan, Reddick - he has looked like the best player on the floor in every game.

[Nevada Hoya]

I guess the BE of next year will have at least one team in the Final Four with either WV or L'ville.

Francisco Garcia hype should be tempered--I was watching a game earlier this season and Announcer mentioned Garcia is likely to turn Pro because he's 25 YEARS OLD!! He should be good at that age.

And "pesky cinderella" gets ganked again---that's why I hate cinderella teams. They have a hot weekend, and never follow it up with strong showings. Gonzaga had best run and Kent State wasn't bad but got spanked by Hoosiers a few years ago. Overall, give me the elite and let Cinderella stay home and watch--success by them only means more clown teams like UNI and St. Mary's making it ahead of deserving teams--tell me GU couldn't have competed in the NCAA's against most of the teams you've seen? Hell we beat an Elite 8 team in our only meeting and I don't care what people say about who they've played--they beat a #2 seeded Wake Forest who was picked my most "experts" to make Final 4 despite not being able to defend anyone.

Someone please wake me up after Wisconsin and NC State is over so I can watch a good game.

[TokyoHoya]

It was interesting, I just looked at the end of the year polls. Both had the top four teams as Ill, UNC, Duke, and Louisville. At this point, all four are likely to make the final four. I wonder if that has ever happened before; I would tend to doub it.

[hoyarooter]

Down goes Duke! Down goes Duke! Hooray!

And who can believe 3 teams from the crummy Big 10 making the Elite 8? Crazy stuff. Thanks for screwing up my round-by-round bracket on CBS, NC State.

[JimmyHoya]

Sweet~!

I went 0 for 4 in picking Final Four teams!

are you kidding me? you couldn't be more wrong...Nova made the Big East proud by going toe-to-toe with the most talented team in the Nation without there second leading scorer and leading rebounder.

The amount of heart showed by this team tonight was something that an ACC team could never match...Great season and great job tonight Wildcats...Lowry is a special player - fearless! And that travel call was absolutely ludicrous - you let me down Raf agreeing with that trash.

I gotta disagree with this too. Nova was one questionable travel call away from beating one of the favorites to win it all. That's without Sumpter and with Ray shooting like a different Ray--Reed. That was a gutsy performance tonight by Nova and one that definately made the BE look good.

[HoyaNyr320]

I was in a bar in Sydney and the sound wasn't on... with that second to last villanova possession, from the way the ref signalled, it looked like they called an offensive foul on Foye when he drove to the basket and made the off-balance shot. If that is so, that is one of the most ridiculous calls I've ever seen. If anything it should have been a foul on North Carolina! I think a travel call would be complete BS too. What was the deal there? From what I saw, it looked like Villanova definitely got robbed.

I meant the losing the lead in the first place. The comeback was terrific and I take back what I said. I place a curse on thee, thy stupid refs!!!
