The Final Four teams are set, and for the first time in history, all four #1 seeds make it to face one another.  Not only are they the best 4 teams in the nation, but they're very, very evenly matched.  These last three games should be outstanding.  Kudos to the tournament committee for getting the teams correct and providing a thrilling finish to the season.  (Ahem -- are you BCS guys listening?)

Pretty good week in tournament play.  Not too many upsets, but how about Davidson, Villanova, Siena, San Diego, and Western Kentucky?  Duke's and Georgetown's early exits were a bit unexpected, and the ratings show it.

 

Anyway, UCLA moves into the #1 spot over Memphis, and with a seemingly light bracket left, they're in good shape to make it to San Antonio.

 

BTW, for what it's worth (probably very little), I picked Texas to win the whole enchilada.  I really like the home court advantage they're going to get if they keep winning -- reminds me of Michigan State in 2000.
