Other early favorites in that conversation, depending on who gets who and who leaves early for the draft, are Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Indiana and, dare I say it, UNLV -- that is ONLY if they fire the inexperienced Dave Rice, which will never happen, and if Anthony Bennett returns, and that is very unlikely. You have to add Oklahoma State as well if both Nash and Smart don't jump and Michigan if Burke returns. Who else?

Smart is the #1 player in the draft next year potentially, he's gone. Nash isn't going to stay another year, and def won't stay if Smart goes. I don't know much about Burke's chances, but I don't see how he'd come back, he's a top 10 pick.

I was F'N pissed.
Wasnt close to midnight that I found out the truth so I went 7 hours thinking they lost. He said it was on honest mistake tho that he had heard an earlier score with a few min to go and thought that was a final.

WIll look at my brackets tonite and see how I did...heard there were alot of upsets so we will see!!

Ft Knox shooting, rucking and wondering around the woods in the rain, snow and sleet on sunday!

My brother-in-law would have died and gone to heaven as soon as he got there. He is a huge outdoorsman. Sounds interesting.

And I think it might come down to who wins this weekend, that is if only one team advances.

As for Thomas, the main reason I think he goes is that he needs money. Had a horrible upbringing (horrible is probably too strong, but it was not privileged and it was fatherless.). Plus, he has a kid of his own to feed
