You and me both

At least Syracuse is still alive to get me a few more points

Okay, a brief analysis: if Syracuse beats Texas in the semis, H Tower wins it all. If Texas beats Syracuse in the semis, Barry wins it.

Btw, if Texas loses today, it's over and H Tower wins it...

Ouch, that intentional foul hurt, methinks this one is done. Now it comes down to the winner of Syracuse and Texas to see who wins - H Tower (if Syracuse wins) or Barry (if Texas wins)...

Well, isn't that special - the Big 12 sends 2 teams to the Final 4 for a second time in two years and this time both are the top seeds left...

A Syracuse win would be nice for my bracket, but a Kansas v Texas showdown would be nice too. If Marquette beats Kansas, that'll upset the apple cart.

Man.

I took Kansas to win it all in all my pools -- except Poly. Since Oklahoma decided to play like a mediocre high school team (47 points?????? ), I guess I have all the points I'm gonna get.

Congrats to H Tower and/or Barry, whoever ends up winning this War of Attrition.

(Good one re Michael Moore reference, Guynemer. )

This is just about over. Only a few oddball Texas and Syracuse picks left that can produce any more points. Since my Sooners went down, I'm too lazy to know or care who might win it all.

As a group, we all pretty much sucked this year...

Now that the pool is pretty much trashed (my entry being about the most trashed ) maybe its time to move on to other important college basketball topics.

UCLA and UNC, two of the top programs in the country, now have coaching vacancies. If you're the AD at either school, who would you hire? Mark Few (Gonzaga) and Tom Crean (Marquette) are two of the obvious candidates, but would they be able to handle programs (and expectations) of this stature?

	Other Possible Candidates Get a bigger avatar today!

UCLA:

I would make sure to put Mark Few at the top of my list. He knows the West Coast and gets the most out of his players, a problem with UCLA recently.

Rick Majerus (Utah): great coach, but I'm not sure he fits with the LA image.
Mike Montgomery (Stanford): violates the unwritten rule against hiring a coach from your own conference
Kelvin Sampson (Oklahoma): Graduates about zero percent of his players; that's a big image hit down the road
Bill Self (Illinois): would he leave for the west coast with a powerhouse coming back next year?

UNC:

Roy Williams (Kansas): If the heir apparent didn't take it when it was his for the asking, no reason to believe he would even be asked now.
Larry Brown (Philadelphia), George Karl (Seattle): Would they want the job? Are they too old?
Jim Calhoun (Connecticut): Has the college resume, but probably happy where he is.
James Worthy (Los Angeles): Former UNC, now highly respected personnel man with the Lakers.
Phil Ford: Another former UNC, but had numerous personal problems when he was an assistant.
MJ: He will be available in a couple of weeks, and no high school player would ever turn down a home recruiting visit.

Self just cut a new deal with Illinois over the summer to lengthen his contract and it gives him a huge bonus if he stays the whole time

UCLA is no longer searching. Ben Howland is the new coach down in SoCal.

And if Few and Crean (especially Crean) are smart, they'll stay right where they are. Crean in particular has a huge chance to create new glory days for Marquette that would outdo anything Al McGuire ever did, and I'm rooting big time for the Golden Eagles to take the tournament.
