And that Sily-Billy, is why Mid Majors DESERVE to be in the tournament!
Wake up Silly-Billy the gap between "Majors" and "Mid Majors" is extremely narrow and tightening all the time!

.\\George Mason wins!!!!!!!!!!!!

86-84

Yeah, who would have thought anyone would ever hear George Mason, and Final Four in the same sentence?!

Great to see them make it, and represent "mid-major" nation so well! I hope they win it all, and really make the critics eat crow!

And to think Digger said that the winner of the WSU-GMU would not be playing beyond today! These people JUST DON'T GET IT!

Maybe after today though, they will.

I hate that I had to work during this game.

Along with BU, GMU was another school that I had applied to.

What are George Mason's chances of winning the championship? They will play the Villanova/Florida winner (going on right now), and the winner of that game plays the UCLA/LSU winner

I say each team has an even chance of winning the championship. They all play very well for an full 40 minutes. An upper-hand might go to Villanova, as they are a #1-seed.

Throw the seeding system out the window. GMU has just as good a chance as anyone else. Villanova is the only #1 left and are down by 5 at the 1/2 with no inside game. Unless they start hitting from deep Florida will get them in foul trouble by feeding their big men and take over the game around the 8-10 minute mark.

Look for Joakim Noah to start getting talk of lottery pick this season.
7pt, 9 reb, 3 blk in the first half.
He had 15 pt, 10 rebs, 5 blk on Fri.

Now with 15 min. left to go,
Noah having a great game,
7 pt, 11 rebs, 4 blk.

Villanova has to guard Noah and Horford is going crazy as well with 12 pts, 8 rebs.

Villanova is the final #1 seed still left, and if they go down it will be very first time in 26 years that a Final Four didn't include at least ONE #1 seed!!

Billy Packer---Take THAT!!

Have they rested him yet? He has tons of energy. He'll have to beef up at least another 20-30 lbs. for the NBA. He'll be going in as a PF and right now he would take a beating with the rigors of the NBA.

Joakim Noah now has 21 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks, and tremendous inside defense despite only getting 2 fouls.

Joakim Noah is pegged on some NBA Mock drafts right where Patrick O'bryant was a couple weeks ago.
Noah is at #11 in the 2007 draft, but after this weekend, I suspect he'll move onto the 2006 board and be a lottery pick.

I notice just this morning, a couple of the mock draft sites suddenly have Joakim Noah on them for 2006 in the lottery.
His stock has skyrocketed.
Nice prediction.
