I am UCLA fan first and foremost but can we stop Morrison and the Zags?? That may be the biggest challenge until the F4 for the Bruins as the rest of the field is vastly inferiors to the Pac-10 Champs. |

^^^Allow me to join the blatant homerism.
At a minimum, I want the 16. If they get to the 8, I'll be very pleased.
If they go Final 4 or Final 2, I'll be ecstatic.
If they win it all, I'll be absoutely intolerable.

Don't sell youself short. You're already intolerable! jk
I think that if we get to the point where we meet the 'Zags, we match up reasonably well. Ced is a solid inside/outside defender who will d up on Morrison. Luc will most likely be the first on Batista, with teh weakside double team coming from Hollins, Aboya, and Mata. If Batista proves to big (keep in mind Powe wasn't too big for Luc), then Luc is more than capable to spell Ced on Morrison. Aboya, Hollins, and Mata ... heck even Fey (if needed), can defend Babtista with quick defensive rotation when he is playing the 5.
In the backcourt, I'll take Jordan, AA1, DC plus Ced and Roll against most backcourts until the Memphis', 'Novas, et al come along. And even then I like our chances.
No guarantees, but we are capable of competing with any team in the country. _________________ To be the champion, one doesn't have to be the best team in the country, just the best team each time one plays.
1-0. Six more times.
So let success be my sweetest revenge... |

If anyone has ESPN Insider, theres an article on there by Peter Tiernan...I think the link just says "Picking the Final 4" or something. I've heard from a few people that this guy is right like 80% of the time...he has some crazy stat thing he does.
Anyway, I'd be interesting if someone who has Insider posted which 4 teams he thinks and we can all see if hes right.
Who do I got? I'm going mostly with upsets in my bracket:
Duke
UCLA
UNC
Florida |

UCLA all the way. Homerism aside...I like Ohio State. If not this year...then definitely next year. Oden is gonna tear up the NCAA. |

Most of the analysts on ESPN are picking UCLA for the Final Four. Before that, I honestly never thought of it! I thought we would be Sweet Sixteen and done and next year be top 4. Oh boy, they have made me so cocky. |

Other than Duke, all ther other teams that received votes are still allive, including Texas. Memphis will be another big hurdle for the Bruins. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness.

I like UCLA a lot but I don't think it's their time yet. Yes I wouldn't be surprised to see them win but I like UConn this year. Next year with Shipp coming back and everyone getting a year of experience under their belt I think UCLA should be one of the front runners to win it all next year. |

So far, UCLA fans are looking good for this season. They can beat LSU. It's getting interesting. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that." ~~Martin Luther King Jr.~~ |

UCLA is the highest seed left. The task is very clear. They need to beat LSU to reach the Finals. _________________ "Darkness cannot drive out darkness. Only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that." ~~Martin Luther King Jr.~~ |
