    I agree.

    If Ky had some but not all of the pieces they would be good..... but not great.

    With one-and-dones they all need to be great given their youthful inexperience.

    I am very impressed with the Dayton Flyers. They are well coached, quick, good defense and really execute on offense. They may very well end up in the final four?

    Dayton has been impressive.

    I know that between the fact they have won some big games and also that it's Florida's 4th try in a row to make the Final Four that the Flyers will have the Gator's full attention.

    Dave,

    I really do not think Dayton can get by Florida, but I do expect a tough contest. One team off on shooting percentage and it might go either way?

    Fla beat UCLA last night with Casey Prather having an off night, SEC Defensive Player of the Year Patric Young having an off night and with SEC Player of the Year Scottie Wilbekin also playing subpar until well into the second half (when he kinda of caught fire.)

    I was surprised UF was able to withstand such non-performance from it's star players.

    It hopefully it is a good sign going forward but I hope those guys get back on track.

    Tenn made a fantastic comeback to fall just short. Heck of a game.]

    Right now Kentucky and Louisville and Virginia and Mich State are also two very good games.

    Kentucky is scary when they are in sync and they seem to be right now.

    Early on Louisville was just handling Kentucky...but then the game changed and Kentucky got it's confidence and that was all they needed.

    Elite 8 has two teams from the SEC and three from the Big 10..... and that UM-Tn game could easily have gone the other way.

    Those two conferences have represented well.

    Hopefully there will be one less team from the SEC by the end of the day.

    Go Flyers!

    If Fla advances I would prefer that Ky lose.

    I wouldn't want to see the Gators have to beat Kentucky for the 4th straight time in one season.

    I just had my buddy lay $20 on the Flyers to cover the 10 point spread at the Bellagio sports book.

    Young and Wilbekin showed up big time in this game.

    I could see that Dayton had the potential to shoot the lights out if you let them..... but that Gator defense wouldn't let em.

    Proud of these guys for sure.

    Interesting, all the top point scorers in the bracket contest had Wisconsin in the Final Four.

    Oh boy....Kentucky freshmen are hot at the right time.

    Fla vs UConn and Kentucky vs Wisconsin. I see an all SEC Final in our future. Seniors vs Freshmen.

    Gators only #1 seed to make the final 4, others are a 2, 7 and an 8...been awhile since we've had this many lower seeds make the final 4.
