Update: No such luck, Carolina is completely flat. A great Kansas team blows em’ away. However, the primary reason in my view is that Lawson & Ellington can’t handle the ball. Thomas can’t either and Green seems to lose his share too. I’m afraid I find Lawson to be really hyped. The guy picks up the ball at the worst times and as point you just can’t do it. What’s more, it seems he deosn’t want the ball when the game is on the line. Last year against USC, same thing. I don’t see how these guys can get NBA looks, they are NOT ready. Enough bitching, both are great players… just a little frustrated and maybe expecting too much.

So, with the unexpected New York Giants victory, I’m on a bit of a [sports fan] roll here. Still carrying that G- men high around, but let’s hope the luck is still with me
For today’s Final Four, I’m picking North Carolina over Kansas and then Memphis over UCLA. I believe UNC will beat Kansas pretty handily and then Memphis will take UCLA. Love Kevin Love, but it’s Memphis here.
In the Final, I can’t help but favor UNC because I’ve been a fan since my buddy Dan Hauck turned me on to them. We were ten year old basketball fanatics and he loved UNC. Wasn’t long before I joined him… that’s never changed. While I’ll root for my ACC alma mater U of Maryland first, I still follow and root for UNC. As for Memphis, they look unbeatable but you’ve got to put faith in your team. UNC in a tight one!
