Elite Eight!

Getting serious now!  Some of my impressions and observations as we go into one of the best weekends of the year.  Izzo did a good job this year winning the Big 10 with that team; not one of his best.  Kansas is extremely unimpressive to me as a 2 seed; they struggle every game.  Robinson is not nearly as talented as Anthony Davis, but Robinson had a better year, carrying that team to a 2 seed.  The talent at Kentucky is completely ridiculous.  Duke continues to struggle with anyone who can challenge them athletically.  Indiana gave KY a good battle; Crean can coach, I expect them to be a long-term factor in the Big 10 going forward.  Florida could make it to the Final 4, but I'm still surprised that Donovan has not maintained his talent level after the championship teams.  I'm scared of Ohio St. right now.  How is it possible that west coast basketball has fallen so far off the planet?  Please tell me LSU is going to fire that excuse for a coach!  Dark days for SEC hoops.  After watch UNC last night, I guess Kendall Marshall is the most valuable player in the country?  I still love March Madness, but I do miss the great players of the past when they had to stay 3 years and were well-developed dominators by the end of their 3rd year.  Golden days for Baylor athletics.  I still like Kentucky to win this thing.
