As much as it pains me to say, I see Wisconsin being a Final 4 team more than OSU at this point.[/quote]

I just think that Florida has been the most consistent, wouldnt say that they are head and shoulders above the rest of the teams in the nation at this point. They are very good, but if a team like us, Wisky, A&M, Kansas, UNC, UCLA can play a good game they are very beatable...

Well Wisky has the experience over us, but we are still growing and I think we will peak at the right time...Should be interesting to see how we play against them on the 25th...

LAWRENCE, Kan. ? Dean Smith had Bill Self tossing and turning for no reason.
On campus for a reunion of the 1952 Kansas team that won the NCAA championship, Smith watched the Jayhawks labor through a workout Friday and agreed with Self that it had not been very crisp. "Have you ever had a bad practice the day before a game?" Self recalled asking the former North Carolina coach.

Ron Everhart is the national coach of the year and real up comer in coaching. What he did with a Duquesne team that was coming off a 3 win season and pre season shooting off several players is amazing. He'll be at a top BCS conference job within 5 years.

I think Law is making a case for player of the year...

Also I think that he is making a case for taking Chauncey Billups nickname Mr. Big Shot...

That is his 4 shot he has made in the last 10 seconds of games...2 Game winners, one to go ahead against TTech but Tech scored after that at the buzzer and then tonite to send the game to OT...

I think the top 2 candidates for POY are right here in this game...

Also Durant has improved his all around game and is becoming a leader, he was smacking guys on the head earlier in the game and getting in their faces...

Man that was a great play, and they almost got the game to third OT...

I think Law showed that he is the POY in this game even with the loss, as 3 of the aTm's best players fouled out and Durant was non existant down the stretch in regulation and into the 2 OT's...

Either way that Texas team is growing as a team and could be scary come tourney time if they can learn how to finish games...
