Well, I suppose it was just too much to hope that George Mason would get past a taller faster team, especially when its opponent hits twelve 3-pointers. I was astonished at how easily UCLA dispatched LSU, and I’m now convinced that its defense will keep Florida in check tomorrow night, but the margin of victory won’t be fourteen points.
Considering that I once lived in Westwood, and that my Mom went to UCLA for grad school, and that I first paid attention to college basketball during that incredible run UCLA had in the Sixties and Seventies when it won nine championships in ten years, I know who I’m gonna root for on Monday.
I dumped George Mason after the quarter finals….I’m fickle that way. I went with Florida and UCLA. I’ve got to start betting real cash money on this whole effort. For the final game…I’m going with UCLA….again for absolutely no benefit what-so-ever.
Damn….lost at the end.
The disappointing thing was that after two weekends of exciting basketball, the Final Four games were duds.
