Jay Hawk!
I started watching the tournament in 1979 and remember all of the hype behind Bird vs Magic in the finals. I played a little in school but was never very good. I went to a D3 college without a basketball program, so when our twin boys went to UCLA and KU, I got to watch a lot of games. We made several trips to Allen Fieldhouse and there is nothing like a great game there that I have ever experienced at another college or pro venue.
Not too bad. I had Iowa losing to Kansas in the Sweet 16. The key to wining your bracket challenge is correctly picking the overall champion and the other final four teams.
How about Kentucky??
Buh bye.
I agree, there is no experience in sports quite like a home game at Phog Allen Fieldhouse.
We went out to dinner in Long Beach and both of the TVs at the bar were on the UCLA v Akron game. I checked the KU game a few times on my phone, but the blow out was secure. I like the San Diego State loss. They were the team I was worried could knock out KU.
I hate vcu, HATE THEM!
11 years. That's holding a grudge. Unfortunately it had nothing to do with VCU. KU was one of the top shooting teams in the nation that year and they couldn't hit the broad sign of a barn during that game. Self inflicted.
I was at the game in San Antonio, their freaking coach jumping around on the sideline like a damn fool. I had tickets for the final 4 in Houston the following week.
