Here are a few things I learned/observed from watching this year's Final Four:
-Memphis' Chris Douglas-Roberts apparently has a short story tattooed on his right arm.
-Nothing makes a pep band lamer than matching Hawaiian shirts.
-The world belongs to Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, and some soccer player no one has heard of.
-UCLA's demise was due mostly to not enough scoring threats - especially on the perimeter. Josh Shipp and Darren Collison combined to go 4-for-18 against Memphis.
-Ben Howland is about to become crowned by the media as "the best coach never to have won a championship."
-There is no other tradition quite like the Masters - and Jim Nantz will defend that idea to the death.
-Roy Williams and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Tie!
-With 10:30 left in the first half of Kansas-UNC, Roy Williams looked dumbfounded, and it wasn't because of the tie he was wearing.
-With 9:30 left in the first half, Kansas freshman Cole Aldrich (who averaged 8 minutes this season), dominated player of the year Tyler Hansbrough for a rebound and then drew a foul. This was the point when I knew that it wasn't UNC's night and that they were going down.
-With 7:32 left before halftime, Billy Packer emphatically announced "this game is over." I don't think I've ever heard an announcer make such a claim so early in a game, especially one as important as a national semifinal.
-Budweiser + "Dude" = Funny. Brilliant. (Sarcasm)

Hmmm, Ben Howland and UCLA reming me of how coach k and duke were viewed before 1991. It's only a matter of time.
And since I know you'll be cheering for kansas tonight because they're not 'thugs', take a look at this article.

Here are my main reasons for cheering for Kansas:
-they play team offense and team defense
-there are no real "stars" on the team - they win because they rely on teamwork
-a Big 12 team hasn't won the national title in 20 years (Kansas in 1988)
