    I really want them to win it all. I picked them to beat Stanford, and just won a bet with my friend.

    Who's your favorite to win it all?

    BTW, am I the only one that heard the Maryland faithful start chanting "STEVE FRANCIS!" near the end of the game? I swore I heard them start chanting that at one point in the second half.

    Sweeet. I wanted Maryland to win but I want Temple to win it all. Their underdogs and John CHaney's coaching and Lynn Greer and Wadleys play is awesome. My final four prediction go as follows:

    Duke
    Arizona
    Maryland
    Temple

    ------------------
    Note: It was my cowhead. I started the cowhead craze, and my cowhead inspired Mooch to step up and bring us a victory. Thank you for your time. :D

    I DIDN'T! When did they start chanting? I taped the game.

    I DID notice, though, that when the commentators were naming some players from Maryland that never reached the final four, they named Len Bias (RIP), Walt Williams, and others. But not the 2nd overall pick in the 1999 draft. [​IMG]

    I could have sworn I heard them chanting his name at one point. It was sometime during the last 10 minutes of the game, maybe coming back from a commercial.

    Well, I'm sure, with about 2 minutes left, Terrapin fans were chanting "Bring on Duke!Bring on Duke!

    I'm a Dukie, sure, but I want Maryland to win for 2 reasons:

    1) Steve Francis happy

    2) Battier possibly losing draft value

    finalsbound: I like your last conclusion. Even though I'm a Duke fan, I really admire Gary Williams and the Maryland program. I don't mind spreading the joy!

    Also, I'd love for the Rockets to get Battier!

    It's no excuse, but the oversite on mentioning Francis as an ex-Terp who didn't get to the Final Four is probably due to the fact that he is just a blip on the screen.

    Francis only played one year. I'm sure he has no ACC records. One and done doesn't create a profound association with Maryland basketball.

    Fear the turtle!
