FINAL FOUR TEAMS...

Postby lights1961 » Tue Apr 01, 2008 7:51 am

anyone else still have all 4 teams in the final four??? I cant believe i still do... i mean i thought for sure memphis would be out, or maybe Kansas... even UCLA
I also had 6 out of 8 elite teams. for the ESPN challenge one of my brackets is at the 96% tile or 12,000 place!! i dont think i ever did that well on my SAT!!!! ACT or
Iowa basic skills tests!! :-) back in the day. Amazing luck really and Davidson could have blown out all the brackets easily!!!

Did you watch Memphis play?! They've been just brilliant. If they continue play like they have in the last two games, I think they can beat even NC.

Man, they are so much fun to watch!

I actually picked all no 1s in the final four, though I thought UCLA was vulnerable because they're so inconsistent.

‘Course I hope they have a bad day next Sat., lol! :lol:

(I didn't expect Kansas to come so close to losing. :shock: )

If the Jayhawks play like they did yesterday, they'll lose by 20 to NC. If they play like they are capable, they could win. Memphis-UCLA should be a great game.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk! Go KU!

watched my first memphis game in 1985 when i was ten years old when we were in the final four and lost to villanova who in the next game beat a patrick ewing led georgetown for the championship.through the years we've had a few elite eights and sweet sixteens but i'm glad to be back in the final four.ironically we lost to UCLA in 1973 championship plus in 2006 we lost to UCLA in the elite eight.i think this time we will finally beat the bruins.go tigers!!!

Memphis will die at the Free Throw line. 55% won't get it done. Yeah I know, they were 92% last game, but you think they can just hit the switch and be a great free throw shooting team now that it's crunch time? Probably not.

They were second to last in FT% in the NCAA this year at just under 60%. I don't remember the last time any national champion shot anywhere near that poorly from the line. They need to rely on blowing out their opponent, especially this deep in the tournament.

Could be. They were 75% for their conference tournament, 75% against Michigan St. and over 80% against Texas.
Most of the players have great form at the line, so it really is a mental "switch" that they seem to have thrown over the past month.
Here’s hoping they can keep it going for just two more games, lol!

Who thinks KU will blow this game?

Up 40-12, and now it's 40-22. I for one think UNC can run them down.

Well they did, got within 5...

Both teams I thought were out of control much of the game. A lot of forced shots.
