I can agree with that. Both teams are outstanding defensively.

    You expect this becauseeee???

    For once in our lifetime (well since Sheldon graduated...which seems like a lifetime ago) we wont be picked on inside. Villanova is a mirror image of our team. They like to play one power forward and four guards, and who other than Duke does that not sound good with?

    The real parts to winning this game will be this:
    1. Kyle Singler versus Dante Cunningham. Both of these guys are 6'8 pushing 6'9 and are great players. Singler has a better outside game, Cunningham has a better inside game. Whoever plays better out of the two will decide who wins this game.

    2. Gerald Henderson versus whoever they throw at him. I think that ive come to the conlusion that theres really no one in the NCAA's that can guard Gerald Henderson. He actually had a pretty average performance last night and we still won. He missed a lot of shots and had a couple turnovers in the clutch. Anyways, no one can guard him. If he has a game like he did last night, I like our chances.

    So I like Duke to take care of buisness.

    Being in last place, I think I can speak for all college basketball fans when I saw watching Wisconsin play is the most boring basketball (with the exception of a close game, late) I've ever seen. For that reason, I hope Xavier takes care of business.

    But strangely, we're good at almost everything, have tons of famous people from here and have a lot of great athletes. Take that Idaho. Where's your Mickey Mantle?

    Oh, and Syracuse frightens me.

    Yea I'd be worried about the Cuse right now too. They have a swagger about them ever since that UConn victory.

    I always wonder what others think of Oklahoma when they look at the map. Having lived in OK my whole life I always look at states like Wyoming, Idaho, Montana as ghetto unnoticeable states, but I never thought OK was included in that category even though we've got a cowboys/indians reputation.

    OK is as weird as Missouri. Both states have ghetto country regions, but both all have sprawling metropolitan areas like OKC and St. Louis. Both have successful sport programs. OU's prominence in nearly every sport is noteworthy enough to take OK out the "weird" category. OKC has a pro team, OKC hosts NCAA and Big 12 tourneys regularly. People are super friendly, most are sport fanatics, and the pop culture is the same as the rest of the nation. Come to Norman and OKC and I guarantee you'll take OK out of the weird ass state column.

    So, how about Dominic James coming back for Marquette?

    Too late for them? If James comes back and can play even at 80% today, they can beat Mizzou. Give him 4 days of rest and practice before Memphis on the 27th...Marquette could walk out of the West bracket as champion and be on the road to the Final Four.

    I think OK is a weird state as well, but they have their share of famous people (11 just quickly from a website)...

    Johnny Bench
    John Denver
    Garth Brooks
    Joan Crawford
    Ron Howard
    Toby Keith
    Mickey Mantle
    Brad Pitt
    Willie Stargell
    Jim Thorpe
    Carrie Underwood

    That's not bad, sportswise. Seems like an usually amount of baseball players come from there.


    People shouldn't crack on Montana & Idaho though, they are some of the most beautiful geographical areas our country has - a lot of very wealthy people have 3rd homes out there - I would be surprised if the same were true for OK.
