What a weekend (long weekend) of great basketball. I think every game (except UK v WVU) was down to the wire.
Utmost respect for Tom Izzo. He's a big game coach. And to think he has to recruit kids to come to East Lansing. Ditto for Bo Ryan. I love watching Wisky play basketball. Nothing needs to be said about Coach K. His over 1000 wins and multiple champions speak for themselves. Calipari is a much better coach than he's given credit and he's the one chasing history which also speaks for itself. What a contrast in coaching and program styles. Izzo and Ryan couldn't accomplish what they do without juniors and seniors. K seems to be trying to straddle two worlds and Calipari embraces the most talented bunch of one and doners. Still all four get their players to sublimate the self for the team and wins baby.
In my office pool this is my Final Four. I really want to see Wisky and Sparty play for the fourth time but my small payday has UK beating Duke. Looking forward to next weekend. I think it's amusing that yet again the B1G gets no respect but has two teams left.
