    Ladies & Gents, here it is:

    Georgia Tech is going to beat Connecticut tonight.

    They beat 'em earlier this year and they will again. Tech has the defense to shut UConn down. Schenscher will give Okafor fits with his size.

    Final Score:

    Georgia Tech 74
    UConn 70

    Remember, you heard it here first!

    And I'm not just picking Georgia Tech because my Dad graduated from there in 1952. I really believe they are going to win tonight!!!

    All I really care about is how Duhon's feeling after that nasty run-in with a camera in the ACC championship game.

    rofl - yea, if he doesn't trip over his own feet. Okafor is going to mess Big Bird up. Emeka wasn't 100% when they played earlier this season.

    UConn will show to the world that Tech has been riding an incredible wave of luck.

    UConn - 82
    Georgia Tech - 65

    I think I will go with the underdog too.

    According to this thread: UCONN.

    UConn without a doubt. Besides, I can't have another ACC team winning the title.

    Okafor is definitely in better form than he was when they played early in the year.

    GT is definitely very talented, but UConn is more talented. They're stacked at virtually every position.

    GO UCONN!!!

    If G-Tech wins, would they be the most under whelming championship team ever? They have played some ugly games and somehow drags their opponents down to their level. It's fate. G-Tech triumphs again over UConn.

    UConn is much, much better than Ga Tech.

    Yes, compared to when they played in the pre-season NIT.

    Well, for starters, if it wasn't for them, I probably would have won $150 instead of $23. Second of all, OSU would beat Tech 9 times out of 10. They just played the game of their lives and were fortunate that John Lucas III sucked. Oh and that Schenscher/Big Bird either walks every time he touches the ball or could get called for 3 seconds which the ACC refs, er refs, only called like once the whole game.

    But also that had to be the most devestating college basketball loss for me since Houston-NC State of 1983. I can't just shrug that off and root for them to beat a team that is head and shoulders better than them in UConn.

    Eddie Sutton deserved a better fate than that and it is a joke that he AND Jim Calhoun are not in the Hall of Fame.
