Carolina beats Florida! They are heading to their first Final Four!!! That was a great game. Non-stop suspense. Florida couldn't stop fouling the one guy that was Damn near 100% from the line.

Man, Kentucky is getting absolutely hammered and mugged in this game. Its embarrassing for many reasons but when refs effect the outcome of a big game like this its unacceptable.

Taking both teams out of any flow with whistles, all of them should be fired.

[Grizalltheway]

Damn Nova. So close.

Ummm, Carolina beat Kentucky. Congrats to USC though! It would be pretty bizarre if the reigning baseball, basketball and (FBS) football champions all came from SC.

My whole family (pretty much all UNC grads) are pulling for a Carolina - USC final

Especially my dad, who remembers the McGuire years and hates the Coots

I'm pulling for a UNC/USC final. But I'm expecting a Gonzaga/UNC final.

I think it'd be fantastic!


And Carolina beat Florida....i'm south of the border brother.

WC(b) final.

WC(b) final.

I was a bit shocked with Oregon's win.

Never (Gonzaga), never (South Carolina), might as well have been never (Oregon) and North Carolina -- that's the simple way of looking at this Final Four.

South Carolina, a team that finished third in a maligned SEC, hadn't won an NCAA tournament game in 44 years until nine days ago. Now the Gamecocks improbably have strung together four in a row, riding a defensive assault to the program's first Final Four. A school considered football first, second and last gathered up a head of steam and a legion of rowdy fans at the tourney's relocated first round in Greenville, South Carolina, and rolled all the way through the East Region final in New York.

Gonzaga, a one-time Cinderella turned best-team-to-never-make-the-national-semifinals, has been looking forward to this moment for nearly two decades. The Bulldogs' inability to make the final weekend turned them into the game's most lovable lightning rod, a squad appreciated for its overreaching success but questioned for its underachieving results.

2 out of 4 in the final four, Gonzaga and UNC

[CID1990]

I don't get all the articles and sports dorks talking about how unexpected this final four is.

Spare me the annual bullsh1t. They literally do this every year

If all four #1 seeds made it into the final four then THAT would be unexpected

When was the last time that happened?

2008, and it was the first time evah.

Amen I was pulling for a DUKE&GONZAGA finale but the Gamecocks ruined that idea.

So did the people who made the brackets dal. Would have been near impossible for them to meet in the finals.

He mentioned something like that somewhere else...I just let it ride. I was hoping he'd figure that out. The closest Duke and Congzaga could've met would have been the Final Four.

Yeah, like Hen said, that's impossible. They could've met in the Final Four but not in the Championship.

[Grizalltheway]

God I hope he called in and made that prediction on the air.

[Ibanez]

UNC will be a final four team. They're having a discipline hiccup right now but they'll get through UK and/or UCLA

I called into sports radio WFAN(NY) and made a prediction of a DUKE&GONZAGA final with Gonzaga finally winning it all the expense of the big boys.

[Ibanez]

You know he did

Oh shit I missed that when he posted it. Priceless.

Yes I did and the person I talked with said it could have been a possibilty.

That is why its called a prediction.

You don't get it. Look at the bracket. There is no way they could both play for hte championship...per your prediction. Your prediction is impossible.

Okay I caught the hint if Duke had beaten South Carolina they would be meeting in AZ.
