I love the appearances of new teams in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament’s FINAL FOUR. Gonzaga is here for the first time. So is South Carolina. Oregon hasn’t been in the FINAL FOUR since 1939–78 years! And, of course, North Carolina is looking for redemption after Villanova beat them last year with a buzz beater. Gonzaga is favored over the Gamecocks by 6 points. North Carolina is favored over the surprising Ducks by 5 and 1/2 points. I’ll be rooting for the Ducks and the Gamecocks (I love underdogs!). Who will you be rooting for?
Not a huge fan, but I think Gonzaga and North Carolina will win their respective games. I expect Gonzaga to then win the championship.
Deb, you may have to take your prediction skills to Vegas! I’m still in shock that the U-Conn Women’s Basketball team lost! What a game!
How ’bout those Mississippi State women! Greatest upset ever.
Bill, after 111 straight wins, U-Conn lost! They haven’t lost a game since 2014! Astonishing!
No one. I just don’t care. I was bummed that UConn lost last night after a 111-game winning streak.
If I had to pick, North Carolina would be it. On the other side, go Ducks!
Jeff, I suspect Russian hacking in the U-Conn loss!
Not a big basketball fan, but I think you have the pairings criss-crossed.
Michael, you are so right! I’ll make the correction. Thanks for the heads up!
Oh, pulling for the Oregon Ducks, absolutely. Not sure they can do it, but then I didn’t think they would be Kansas either. In the other game, I’m going for the Zags.
Rick, anything can happen in these games. The pressure gets to some players.
Hi everybody!
Nothing special for April Fool’s Day?
Just looked it up on snopes.com and found a few gems …
Wolf, I think the April Fool is in the White House.
Right on, brother.
I don’t follow basketball but I watched the Zags play out of state loyalty! They won! I was hoping the Ducks would win to make it an all-Northwest championship game, but no such luck!
Bob, I’ll be rooting for the Zags in the Championship Game Monday night!
Nuts. Well they (Oregon) had a great season, and went far, especially without their big center. Maybe next year, though they are losing several stars. Only one more game, I’ll root for the Zags.
Rick, the Ducks had their chances. They just couldn’t rebound at the end.
