Florida won the championship back in Feb. Florida won this championship during the season when they lost multiple games in a short period of time. I believe that those losses refocused them. They realized that they had to play as a team and put more effort into their play. They carried that...

Xavier blew it Xavier has a 3 point lead with less than 10 seconds to go and Ohio State ties it with a late 3 and wins in overtime. Xavier used the wrong strategy at the end. They should have fouled before Ohio State had the chance to shoot. Make them go to the line and make the first foul...

1st round As I said in my earlier post Winthrop can play. I believe they can win at least one more game. I am concerned about their bad foul shooting because at this stage all games normallly come down to the final minutes. I think you are seeing the beginning of Duke fading a little on...

EB, Talking about the uconn women. A couple of year's ago they had 2 sisters the Valley girls. I know them very well they have some interesting insights on coach A. One of the best ever to play women's basketball Tarossi (sp) was a spectacular player on those teams. The real show still...

no uconn Sorry EB uconn didn't make it to the dance. I also think they were left out of the NIT. I haven't checked the NIT closely. The NCAA has about 15 teams that can beat any other team. However, I only see about 7 teams that have enough diversification in their game to win 6 in a row...

correct EB, My comment about a good program refers to basketball in Canada. My statement about playing high level division 1 teams in the States was a supporting statement for why they are good in terms of Canadian teams. I wasn't trying to suggest they were on par with the teams in the...

smooth What impressed me about Wade was how effortless his play seems to be. He never seemed hurried but always under control, something Kobe doesn't yet do. Another thing I like about him is that he stays within the flow of the game and doesn't seem to thing that the you have to make an easy...

speed traps in vermont Regnad You had better be careful between the two st.albans exits. Very often there is a speed trap, especially going north, as the cops have a great location to hide behind the pillars of an overpass. Also there is a slight downhill grade.

Florida's execution You play the entire game. If you don't want too be dunked on at the end of the game don't throw in the towel like UCLA did. Athletes are trained too play the full 40 minutes. I think it is more embarrassing for the losing team if you just stand there and pass the ball...

Gators These two teams are evenly matched. This has the potential to be one of the most hotly contested championship games in a while. Both teams play very good defense, everone talks about UCLA's defense and pretty much ignores Florida's. Each team has a different approach to defense...

thoughts about tomorrow's final four Thirty hours too tip off! I predict LSU over UCLA. Both teams are very good defensively. However, I believe that LSU has the type of players that can make more contested shots then UCLA. I think open shots will be hard to come by. I am also a little...

uconn outcoached Obviously Jim Calhoun is a great coach. Today the GM coach outcoached him especially on the offensive end. As EB said inside and outside. This is my opinon on why this was possible. GM moved their post game out from the low block area, about 3 feet higher towards the foul...

young players playing smart EB I absolutely agree with the lack of smarts the Tigers played with. Young players have a way of getting caught up in the emotion of the moment. I believe, I could be wrong, that Dean Smith once said the best thing about freshmen is they become sophomores.

young players btyger I agree that they must work from inside out and I am sure you are referring to late in the game and their outside shots. Having been in the position of coaching young players with some of my teams I can safely say they don't always do what the coaches ask. I would be...
