During the last year, I’ve done virtually NO sports posts, which is very unrepresentative of me and my daily life, where I watch games, expecially college BB during March. I just saw this “Experts” pick page, and they all missed the final four. Exactly ONE person on this list picked ONE team correctly: the editor, Andy Glockner, who wasn’t even pictured. They ALL picked Duke, which I had thought was quite predictable, and thry lost to the one teamto which they all SHOULD have been paying attention, LSU, because of their ferocious defense and rebounding, and they did a number on Duke on both counts. Their other favorite, UConn, barely escaped Kentucky (and perhaps a THIRD SEC team, given thast the way to the final four AFTER the 1 vs 8 second round battle between Ky and UConn was relatively easy (if you count George Mason as “easy”; but still, I gotta belive that a Ky-George Mason game was “winnable” for Ky, although it most likely would have been a barn burner as well. GM seems to have caught something.

Anyway, 2 SEC teams in is pretty cool for someone who follows Ky. I’m REALLY rooting for an LSU-Florida matchup in the final. The last “conference game” in NCAA final history? I’ll have to look it up.
