Nova looks very impressive this half...Their last 2 halves of basketball have been excellent.

That is why I have them in the final four. They have some of the best perimeter play in the country and Cunningham has really stepped up this year.

Hoping Duke wins today(for obvious reasons).....Would like to see that Duke/Nova matchup.

Duke-Nova would be a great matchup. This is why I am rooting for Texas.

Rick Barnes vs. Coach K? Should be quite a battle. Remember that time Rick Barnes won a big game?

I mean he's made a Final 4. Did Roy Williams not ever win a big game until 2004?

He won an elite eight game at home yes...He's gotta be 1-10 in "big games".

Roy made 4 Final Fours at Kansas and three at Carolina (so far), won 11 Conference titles, and one National Title (so far).

A kid can dream can't he?

Look at what Nova did today and UCONN and Memphis now.

Pretty impressive by the top seeds.

UNC/LSU game is interesting at the half.

LSU is shooting terribly and haven't gotten much out of Thorton but they are within 9.

OTOH, the lead is at a point where UNC could go on a little spurt and put it out of reach.

LSU has got to get to the first TV timeout with the game still within reach.

Lawson doesn't look like he will be much of a factor but you never know.

[Sports Guy]

Great job by LSU to get right back in this game...Now, can they sustain it?

Lawson heating up from 3 but can he drive to the hoop and push UNC on the break? That is the real question IMO.

I think Beaner can breathe easy now.

I am just hoping I can cover 11.5 but that's not looking good.

Whew...Thank God Lawson got back in there. Much respect for LSU.

Yea...LSU couldn't hit a garbage 3 for me at the end of that game to cover the spread?

Great game until the 7 minute mark and then LSU decided to be stupid on offense and UNC executed great.

Not very surprising that TH was a relative non factor in this game...It was all about Ellington the whole game and Lawson in the second half.

BTW, here's hoping Ed Davis decides to leave early.

Damn, sorry about the line. Lawson was simply brilliant in the second half...No turnovers on top of the 21 points.

Yea, it was 11.5....Just rode the money I had made the first 2 days(I went 8-3-1 in my 12 bets)...Really liked that spread especially with Lawson's status up in the air.

Either way, even with him playing, LSU should have played better down the stretch and made that a better game in the last 5 minutes...They just got stupid.
