Pat Summit and the Lady Volunteers won their 8th National Championship last night in Tampa against the Stanford Cardinal. I know the talent level and competitive landscape is different than mens basketball, but this is nonetheless one heck of an impressive feat. Summit now has 983 career wins and will without a doubt break the 1000 win mark next season. Congratulations to Pat Summit, Candace Parker and all the other Lady Volunteers on their 36-2 season and their National Championship!

Did anyone see Roy Williams wearing a frickin Kansas sticker on his sweater last night at the National Championship game? Excuse me if you feel I’m off base, but when you are the head coach for a university all your focus and support should revolve around that team and that team only. I understand he was the coach for Kansas previously and had a very hard time leaving the Jayhawks, but he did leave. If you were retired Roy I would give you a pass, but you were playing against this Kansas team just two nights before and if I was a Carolina fan (and I’m not) I would be PISSED at you for giving them props two days later. This is just my opinion and if you disagree with me I would love to hear your thoughts.

Take Memphis by 2 over Kansas. I expect them to win by 7!

Tyler Hansbrough led all scorers last night in the UNC 83-73 victory over Louisville in the Elite Eight bout. Louisville gave UNC all they wanted, but in the end Tyler hit big shot after big shot to will his team to victory. Hansbrough ended up with 28 points and 13 rebounds, but most importantly a Final Four berth for his Tarheels. I am having a hard time thinking of another player in college basketball over the last 20 years who plays with as much passion and desire as Hansbrough does for 40 minutes every game.

UCLA fans have to enamored with Kevin Love and his superior play as a freshman for the Bruins. UCLA easily handled Xavier last night 76-57 and have advanced to their third straight Final Four. Third straight! Love is fundamentally sound and is one of the best big man passers in the game today. Check out this video clip of Kevin Love hitting a half court shot, a 3/4 and a full court shot in practice. It looks so easy!

UCLA -6
UNC -5.5
