Texas got pwned. Can't say I didn't see it coming. BTW how'd that home court advantage work out for ya? :P Yes, I will never let you live that down.

It looks like this is the year of an all 1-seed Final Four :0

Gah, Texas got whomped. There goes my 1st F4 team. I had them going to the National Championship. But I had them losing to North Carolina...

Texas headbutted the wrong tree and a tiger came down on top of them...I hope Davdison wins, I don't see any team hotter than them (excluding UNC and Memphis)

3/4 for the F4, Texas of course being wrong. Come on, anybody smart didn't get their entire Final 4 correct. Who in their right mind picks all 4 1-seeds? Of course it happened...somehow...

Also for all you Carolina supporters, they aren't winning the Championship and I'll tell you why. Every year (literally every single year) my dad's champion gets the runner-up (last year he picked OSU, the year before UCLA...) Guess who he picked this year? you guessed it. UNC! So the winner of Memphis/UCLA will win it all if you follow that logic.

^The above is pretty shaky "logic," but I'm following it and seeing if it can come through for me! I am in no way counting out the Heels, I just think that's really interesting :P

As for my pick of UCLA...it's not lookin' good. I'll stick by it though Memphis will probably win. lol

Poor Davidson...their last play was really poor though.

Texas got whomped, and Davidson suffered a heartbreaking deafeat. Not a bad weekend I say (sarcasm)
I'm happier than ever, besides the fact that all 1 seeds got into the Final Four...

Really though, I hate Texas, so seeing them go down was very awesome. I hope Memphis kills UCLA, one of my least favorite teams. If not, at least I got the pick right >.>

I wanted Davidson to lose for a lot of reasons, I usually am for the underdog but I must see the team that embarrassed the Little Ten go down!

nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey GOOD BYE~ Come on sing it with me with anti! (lol, i had to say that)

My championship team choice (memphis) is still in it with 3/4 of my four right! -had USC in there, lol-
Anyways, like I said in the beginning Memphis would own.

Memphis has done what? OWNED!

Come here UCLA!

Anyways,
UCLA = slow paced game control, memphis = track meet, Memphis has this game, their guards just have to show up like usual...

I want UCLA to pound Memphis. Texas should've played better...
Bitter, are we? You cannot deny Memphis was a better team that day and at their best, Texas still would not beat Memphis.

I agree, UCLA will probably lose. I think Memphis will win it all (due to my "dad" logic I talked about earlier) unless UCLA can manage to get the refs they had at the Cal game earlier in the year :P

I'm rooting for Memphis too. so many have doubted them, I hope they POUND UCLA (and I mean POUND) and beat UNC to win win win it all. If not, I hope Kansas can pull some magic.

I was actually referring more to BeachBoy's post at that point...

Besides, you only want them to win because Texas got pounded :0

That's exactly right, memphis dominated texas so he wants them to fall. =/ oh well just adds fire to memphis's underdog flame.


Well, I just hope UNC wins it all...no one other than UCLA has the defensive power to keep UNC in check
Not true. Memphis can keep up with them just fine, you havn't seen memphis past few games have you? They are whicked hot.

Burn UCLA down memphis, burn them down. I hope memphis just shreds UCLA to absolute peices.

Don't be so sure. Texas beat UCLA and they got splattered all over the wall by Memphis. It's a bit irrelevant now, but I UCLA has not been playing well and Memphis is the total opposite. I expect a 15-point win by Memphis, but still I stick to my pick of UCLA!...and still I hope Memphis wins! lol

Interesting Final Four...meh.

It's going to be between UNC and UCLA. And with that said, UNC should win. They have the best team between those two. But going from experience, we all know that money plays a part in how the refs call the game. Let's just hope it goes for UNC.

Remember the way I was, for me.

Not to be extremely annoying or anything...but how'd that work out for you? lol, I don't have any room to talk, my championship pick was totally dismantled by Memphis. Can't say I didn't see it coming.

I originally picked Kansas, but already turned in my bracket and thought "I'm toast." Guess my original pick was the best.

Also, my "dad logic" is finally gone since his champ pick FINALLY didn't get 2nd place, they tied for third.

My sister picked Kansas while my dad and I thought UNC would win...when it was 40-12 in Kansas' favor, we were getting taunted a lot, lol. Still, my sister and I were laughing really hard as Kansas was just totally routing them. I'll never forget tonight, both the hilarious moments and my bracket being very crazy.

You gotta love college basketball and the NCAA Tournament especially.

A quick note...both teams I wanted to win won!!! Haha, the refs couldn't save you this time, could they UCLA?

EDIT: BTW, all the people who picked Memphis have a right to mock me now.

Memphis advances, bai bai UCLA... bai bai!

Derrick Rose scored 25 points and Chris Douglas-Roberts added 28 as Memphis beat UCLA 78-63!
Love was out of his game, and refs didn't get all "help UCLA out" stuff.

My championship pick can still be correct.

Joey Dorsey was a huge factor in the game, wearing out Kevin Love. He was a force!
I love the sweet sweet smell of success. ;D

Go Tigers Go!

No! UNC lost! I have no favorite, but I'll say Kansas over Memphis. It's time Memphis got served...
hahaha, still mad his longhorns were shred to bits.
Yet another game people say "Oh well memphis will lose"

I can't wait for this game.
Memphis the past three games have shown they want this championship over any other team.

Memphis will beat kansas, the inside game will just click, along with transition pressure.

No, it's just the two best teams play awful. Even though I don't like Kansas, they'll be the National Champs...
What in the WORLD are you talking about!

Memphis was clearly the better team and earned that win fair square.

They owned UCLA in pretty much every phase of the game, they both were #1 seeds, so you can't even say that. Besides Memphis has owned the tournament in a much better fashion then UCLA anyways.

Memphis WON, memphis won it. Get it in your head.

Kansas can't handle memphis's play, Memphis, championship here we come!
