The NCAA tournament was humbling enough. Hope that the hype helps with recruiting. There is so much pressure on student atheletes. More than the players buying into the hype, a major concern is that the players don't do anything stupid like drugs, arrests, etc. The players seem well grounded.

That game last year in MSG, the whole weekend in fact, was fantastic. I'll remember it for the rest of my life. This would be unreal.

This would be awsome...the potential to play Duke again at the Garden and then potentially play UCLA in the final. Matchups for the Coaches vs. Cancer and CBE tournaments will be determined soon. But one juicy rematch could occur in Madison Square Garden next November. If the four hosts advance to New York for the CVC, the likely semifinals could be Duke vs. Pitt and UCLA vs. Michigan. Duke is scheduled to play Michigan a week later, so that would detract from a Duke-Michigan semifinal and set up a likely Duke-Pitt rematch of a dandy game last December at MSG. Assuming UCLA wins, then you'd either have a classic UCLA-Duke final of the event with two of the best name programs in the game, or a UCLA-Pitt game, which pits two top 10 teams and two best friends in Ben Howland and Jamie Dixon of UCLA and Pitt, respectively. The CBE four hosts that are due to arrive in Kansas City the week of Thanksgiving could also be set up for a potential bracket of Syracuse vs. Florida and Kansas vs. Washington. The organizer of both events is still working on the final details, but the brackets should be known soon. Anybody Andy Katz blog today?
