Hah, Duck Fuke and let K ride out on the horse he rode in on.

Now a sink hole can open in New Orleans for all I care, but I guess I'll root for UNC since my son is still a student there (ugh, I just threw up in my mouth a little....)

That UNC/Duke game was incredible to watch, especially considering the stakes. I think there was something like 18 lead changes.

Coach K’s first ever career loss, and last ever loss were handed to him by UNC. He ends his career with a 50-50 record against the Tar Heels…The total points scored by each team in that span were almost identical as well. With those 2 schools < 10 miles apart, it’s hard to imagine how intense that rivalry must be.

While I’m sure that UNC feels that they have unfinished business, they’ve been playing with house money for a while now…some pundits considered them a bubble team until they won @ Duke for Coach K’s final home game. Regardless of the outcome tomorrow night, this team will be revered in Chapel Hill forever by virtue of leaving a turd in the punch bowl for Coach K…not once, but twice!

Normally I do a homer/bias bracket with UNC winning it all. I couldn't do it this year as I didn't keep enough faith. I thought Baylor would finish us after the draw on Selection Sunday. Glad I was way wrong! Didn't think anything was going to match the win in Cameron until yesterday.

I had North Carolina beating Duke then winning the National title in one of my brackets. In another, I had Kansas winning it all. Either way, I will not have a completely busted bracket somewhere tomorrow night.

Well, the UK women and men's team beat this year's national champs. Women beat SC in the SEC tourney and the men crushed UNC and Kansas during the regular season. So, we got that going for us........

That thing I said about losing to Kentucky not meaning shit? Just the opposite here with the Women's team. That loss in the SEC title game was the worse thing that could happen for any Gamecock opponents.
