True, they are good at baseball. The program had been shut down before I attended and restarted after I graduated. The rumor was that the program had been cancelled because it represented an unacceptable diversion from scholastics (i.e. they had gotten good). We only had soccer and bball when I was there. Still it was good to mock the bball guys, at least we were able to find someone to beat.

Status: offline 		Yeah, three #1 seeds from a single conf. is a remarkable statement on the strength of the Big East.  But I'm still going with UNC - not just because I'm a fan.  Ty Lawson will almost certainly play.  He was going to red shirt, but they brought him in for the Duke game a week or so ago.  Plus, even though he has another year left (he's a junior), playing him against Duke means he's likely to go pro (so in other words, the red shirt would've been wasted) - and since they played him last week, they're sure to play him in the tourney if at all possible.  He might play a few minutes on Saturday, just to loosen up.  But I'm pretty sure they're holding him back until they need him.  That's my logic anyway....  So much depends upon a toe!

Status: offline 		Even if Texas plays another good game, they will have a hard time beating a Duke team that is playing very well right now.

Honestly, I think my Terps have a better chance against Memphis tomorrow.  I've picked Memphis to lose in the championship game, but they didn't play well at all yesterday.  They had a particularly hard time against the zone defense, which Maryland has been using quite effectively lately. 

16 more games today!

(Florida State is disqualified by reason of being a major school and therefore too annoying to pull for)

You're right, of course. But every now and then Georgia comes up with an athletic team that manages to do pretty well.

Speaking of 'Nique, the most amazing thing was the year AFTER he left. Should've been a down year, right? Instead, Dawgs go to the Final Four, riding the backs of players like Terry Fair and _______Fleming (and was Lavon Mercer on that team?)

Naw... Lavon Mercer was a senior during Nique's freshman year. THAT team was probably Georgia's best ever... Lavon Mercer, Dominique Wilkins, Terry Fair, Walter Daniels and Eric Marbury (hold your breath when he has the ball!). If 'Nique hadn't received knee injuries in both games agaisnt 'Bama that year, the team would have gone a long ways.

It sounds like you were one of the few other real basketball fans on campus in those years... I still have my "Durham's Dawgs Do It With Round Balls" sweatshirt around here somewhere...
