    Terry, no I didn't know anything about them until I googled them just now. Interesting story.

    It came up on a ND Board since Johnny Dee was a Notre Dame guy. It was pretty interesting.

    The Duke /UCF game should be interesting after Tacko Fall threw down the gauntlet to Zion.

    Is it just me, or does it seem like the post season always has a Michigan v Florida game?

    Interesting watching Tacko , he's really not a great player he's just tall. UCF though is keeping up with Duke, especially with the play of Johnny Dawkins son. So far Tacko has not allowed Zion to dunk on him .

    Well Duke turned it on in the last 2 minutes and forced UCF into a lot of turnovers .

    Duke gets by just barely. I thought the last basket by Zion he committed 2 charges, he literally leaped into Tacko after running over the guard. But UCF got the call on that basketball that did not hit the rim.

    Great game

    Houston Cougars v Ohio State is a huge game for the Houston program which has been down ever since the Phi Slamma Jamma Era.

    No it's Gator spelled backward. I don't recall how I got the 247, but think Yahoo suggested it.

    But speaking of baseball we have our draft next Sat.

    I agree, and if a foul was called it should have been on the first contact which would have sent him to the line trailing by 3. I think UCF got hosed but it was a great game to watch.

    Huge win for the Cougars to make the sweet 16. Reward? Kentucky. Take quite an effort to make the elite 8.

    How does Boonedock Muskie with 38 correct picks get 1 point ahead of Sid with 39 correct picks?
