>>>All you haters, quit drinking the hateraide. I wish he had stayed at Memphis, but he was able to fulfill his lifelong dream of coaching Kentucky. Memphis has the number 1 recruiting class in the country coming in next year, so we'll be back!

>>>Good luck to Coach Cal and the U of K!

>>I think you know I was cheering for Kentucky in the tournament. West Virginia took them down yesterday. W. Va. is a good team, deserving of their #2 seed. They were the better team.
>>
>>This has been a wacky tournament. Probably more upsets than any year in memory. Or maybe they aren't really upsets. An ESPN columnist wrote that this is the year the term "mid major" officially died. Teams like Butler, Northern Iowa, St. Mary's, they're good teams.
>>
>>Butler is in the final four. A couple of 5 and 6 seeds still playing. It's good for basketball.

>>Every year this month I feel like college hoops is so much more enjoyable than the pros. The college game exhibits the enthusiasm of youth. The NBA seems cold and cynical in comparison. They barely put forth an effort until the playoffs.
>>
>>What I honestly don't get is why the top collegians rush to the NBA. What's wrong with being a BMOC? Everything is provided for you, every last thing. The pro money will still be there for you in a year or two. I hope John Wall returns to Kentucky next year to complete unfinished business.

>A bird in the hand..... that pro money may be there next year IF you do not get injured or whatever other ......

>That phenomonen does not carry over to the women's game..... yet!

>Being a UCONN fan (and also a native Iowan with one year at Iowa State), I enjoyed the women's game today. Especially after a discourse I saw on another site about Iowa State having the best coach in women's basketball. He may be good, even great but I never heard of him before today. I could not help but ask whether they had ever heard of Pat Summit or Gino Auriemma.

The UConn women are amazing. It's almost bad for the game that they are so dominant. They get all the best players. That doesn't happen in the men's programs.

My favorite was Sue Bird. Enough said. Amazingly talented, great looking, and a mind there as well.

Who was that Russian chick who played for UConn? See, I can do my own lookups -- Svetlana Abrosimova. She was a fan favorite. She was in a foreign country and could play like nobody's business. Why does Coach Gene have to be so mean to Svet, people said.
