Final Four Preview

It is funny how the performance of one team over the last few weeks of a season can really kill your motivation to write about college basketball. This does not mean that I have not been watching.

I have actually been thriving. For the first time ever, I told myself that I was not going to enter a pool. Turns out that in the bracket that I picked for my annual battle with Melissa, I picked 3 of the final four teams correct (guess which one I missed!). Anyways, here is how I see the weekend going down.

Game #1 - George Mason vs. Florida

Simply put, George Mason is out of gas, and it takes alot of gas to hang with the Gators. Gators by 14.

Game #2 - UCLA vs. LSU

In the battle of acronyms, I have to side with the guys I picked to win the whole thing before the tournament even started. This game is going to be ugly, with the scores maybe pushing the 50's. Both teams are young, but both teams are strong-willed. I am really excited for this game.

It is also the game that will decide whether or not I beat Melissa in my bracket pick for the first time EVER!

We are having a final 4 party for the first time in a long time. Most years we are going to Y Nationals for swimming with Schroeder, but Team Bedalov bailed this year.

I think LSU can take it all
