All of this bragging about how great everyone's brackets are when the cleaning lady (who understands that the "1" by the team name means they're the best) will win it all this year.

Yeah a ton of people that don't usually do it picked all number 1's in the final four.

Hopefully UCLA beats Memphis and goes on to win the national title

barely found this thread.

UCLA alumn here. Had my plane tix bought since feb. Got the hotel reservations a week ago. Game tix at will-call. CAN'T WAIT!

Memphis is looking damn good, though. If they beat us, I like them to win it all. They just pose match up problems to every team left, since all our pg's are 6-0 and Rose is a legit 6-3. Anderson (their 2) is 6-6, and CDR is 6-7 with a HUGE wing span.

it'll be a tough game, but Howland is probably the best in-game coach in the country. Memphis is bigger, stronger and more talented, but we have Howland, experience, and hopefully a better defense.

should be an amazing final 4. GO BRUINS!

Let this be a lesson to all those kids playing basketball out there: Free throws DO matter.

A team that shoots poor from the foul line should not deserve to win a national championship IMHO.

Missed free throws are maybe the #1 reason why some teams lose in close games.

A team that shoots poorly, period, should not win a national championship. Clank, clank from 3 point range. I'm surprised those guys won 38 games on athleticism alone.

"It will probably hit me like a ton of bricks tomorrow, that we had it in our grasp," Calipari said.

Is he going to have his players toss free throw shots at him?

Ok so they won 9 games by being good and the other 29 because they played in a weak conference. FTR I had Memphis winning the whole tourney from the start.. they just choked..
