<p>Stephen Curry! (Even though I know that’s not happening…especially with his performance in the second half of today’s game)</p>
<p>Yeah I was almost going to mention Curry in the same sentence. Shooters like Curry have a bit of a tougher time making it in the next level compared to the bigs and point guards like DJ Augustin, but time will tell who impacts the NBA the most. </p>
<p>Davidson was this years George Mason. I like the fact that the school paid for some 200-some students to attend the game…</p>
<p>Davidson chartered buses for students to go to Detroit–friend of my d’s is a freshman and she had a chance to go by bus. </p>
<p>I’m in second place in my pool.</p>
<p>Three of us tied for first. Go Kansas! :)</p>
<p>Well, last night blew my pools. I have no dog left in the fight. What in the world happened to UNC? They looked like a high school team who had never played together before. Kansas came out like gang busters.</p>
<p>I was first after the 32 round, and now I’m dead last by soooo many points. Haha…wow. UNC and UCLA just destroyed me.</p>
<p>Agree with mkm56 about Kansas vs. UNC, for the first ten minutes or so–although UNC then rallied really well to pull within 4 and they looked good during that run. At the end, they still didn’t look as bad as they did at the very beginning. </p>
<p>Probably over-influenced by academic standings, I had UNC and UCLA in the finals (memo to self: basketball–it’s a <em>basketball</em> competition).</p>
<p>Anyway, congrats to everyone who picked one or both of the final two!
(Except tej–that guy seems kind of robotic 
)</p>
<p>I may have more at stake tonight than anyone. S is trying to decide between KU and another school and I’m afraid that if the Jayhawks win, basketball may figure very prominently in his final decision. I do like KU for him, I just want him to look at the whole picture before deciding. Oh boy!</p>
<p>^^Didn’t mean to seem too down on KU academically. KU is on my list of universities where it’s possible to obtain an excellent education, depending on the student and the set of courses chosen.</p>
<p>NCAA winners usually see a significant spike in applications during the next year–haven’t heard about a yield effect, though it would make sense.</p>
<p>And if Kansas plays as hard as they did during the first 10 minutes against UNC . . .</p>
<p>QuantMech, I had UNC and UCLA also. I “thought” I was basing it on <em>basketball</em>—guess I was mistaken! I wonder how much of KU’s fire was the <em>beat Roy</em> effect? They certainly played outstanding for whatever the motivation.</p>
<p>Son, watched game with a group–one of which was a Davidson student. He said that student kept saying “OMG, we could have been national champions!”</p>
<p>Okay, I’m in the cc pool basement now, with concrete boots making sure I will never rise. </p>
<p>Maybe I’ll stay awake for tonight’s game, maybe not. Whose idea is a 9:21PM EDT tip-off, anyway?</p>
<p>Here’s the good news: my Stanford ladies looked GOOD last night. Go Cardinal.</p>
<p>jmmom…i agree. stanford ladies did look good last night ! i like their patience on offense ! nice passing !</p>
<p>not only are the jayhawks in the championship game but their football team are the Orange Bow Champs. got a wonder just what the percentage increase in apps will be with both sports doing so well !</p>
<p>a win tonight and downtown Lawrence will see a big crowd on Mass !!!</p>
<p>It’s good to be a high schooler in Kansas today. Very little homework given due to the game tonight. Can’t say I agree w/that, but know the teachers are big KU fans/alum, and over 1/2 the seniors attend KU after graduation. </p>
<p>Go Jayhawks!! (I am only a KU fan during March Madness, really a Mizzou fan)</p>
<p>Well, if the Stanford women win, at least UMD lost to the champs. </p>
<p>But as for tonight’s game, I’m toast. Crispy. Extra brown. Charred.</p>
<p>halftime - kansas leads…</p>
<p>rock chalk jayhawks ! go KU !</p>

<p>Isn’t that like treason? That’s like a Cadet at West Point rooting for Navy… it’s like “NOT ALLOWED.”</p>
<p>OVERTIME!!!</p>
<p>I need to go to bed!!!</p>
<p>What a clutch shot! Wow!</p>
<p>My son finishes in the money if Kansas wins. Go Big 12!</p>
<p>Woot!</p>
<p>What does rock, chalk, Jayhawk mean anyway?</p>
<p>Congrats to Kansas.</p>
