If Villanova beats BC and Florida can get by Georgetown tonight, I like out chances to get to the Final Four because of the size differential and speed of Florida's big men. But I like BC in the game tonight. I think they are playing great and they'll beat us to the punch on taking advantage of 'nova's diminuitive stature. To me, it is impossible to predict Florida and Georgetown. The teams are about as dissimilar as they come. Florida wants the final score in the 80's, G-town wants it in the 50's. Going to be a battle of wills. Too close to call.

Florida has been the most consistent team in the tourney. Coaching young talent is Donavan's niche. I am pulling for you guys.

Thanks, Lex. I know its tough for Vol fans to do, but truth is that the further Florida and LSU get, the better off all SEC teams are going into next year. Gosh LSU looked good last night. Different team than during the regular season.

We are talking SEC, so yes this is obligatory, but because it is basketball that makes it a lot easier. I will be the first one to admit when it comes to a tourney or a bowl game I get pissed when any SEC team loses period.

Just a reminder, LSU won the SEC regular season championship.

They did, but they didn't look this good. Florida beat them twice, easily (though one of their main players was out for the second game). It just seems like this LSU team is growing in confidence as the tournament goes on. The Big Baby jumping into the lane to take that rebound off the missed free throw with a couple of minutes left, versus five Duke players, was an unforgettable scene. Just moved in and took it from them. Duke looked stunned to me.

LSU expended alot of energy beating Duke. Hope they can keep up the intensity. Gator also hitting on all cylinders at the right time, now!

Then you're agreeing with my season long assertion that the SEC wasn't very good this year. Otherwise, how did LSU win it by two games?

I think Texas probably expended more against West Virginia.

Georgetown has a good team.I'm not sure the gators get them unless the three's are dropping big time.I think Uconn vs Memphis in the end and the Tigers win it all.

LSU is a good team. The SEC is better than I thought it would be although my brackets had LSU v. Dookie and LSU the winner. I hope the mulletheads and the cajuns kick some bootay the rest of the way.

Guard play is the critical element this time of yr...thats why I like Nova over BC. Also, the UF/GTown game is a toss up...UF's playing good ball..but hasn't played a quality team like they will tonight so far. :devilsmoke:

I have UConn in two separate office pools so I kind of have to root for them to win it all but I hope UF plays well. It's also been fun to follow the hype on Big Baby.

I think either Florida or Memphis wins it. Both have been very impressive, all I know is IT WON'T BE DUKE! :)
