For the final four I'll go with:

Villanova
Gonzaga
UNC
Syracuse

Villanova over Gonzaga in the final

I got last year's right, but being a UNC alum I think it was more favortism than predicting ability on my part.

BC almost lost... they did awesome in 2nd overtime though

winthrop are holding their own against tennesse, that would be a huge upset!

I've never seen this many close games between 1/16, 2/15, 3/14, and 4/13 in my life. I'm kind of surprised there weren't more upsets.

i had iowa and michigan state in my final four......guess i don't have a chance at winning the pool this year

GO HEELs

zdub311 · 03-18-2006, 04:08 PM

my final four is gonzaga, duke, uconn and florida.
DUKE will win

DaeguDave · 03-19-2006, 06:36 PM

Well my Tar Heels didn't bring it today. No offensive rebounding, few attempts to drive to the basket, Hansborough tied up, too many three's. Still taking Nova over Gonzaga in the final.

i know it`s off topic but i wanna ask you something Daegudave ...i thought you were from Korea so not sure if you could help me ......i´ve got this question from a long long time What does it mean the word "san" at the end of the names? Daniel San ,takata San is it "Sir" or something? i just watched Gheisha´s memories and that question came up again to my mind!!

thanks in advance bro

Got your message, robcardu! The "san" thing is actually Japanese and people place it at the end of a person's name to indicate friendship or fondness for a little brother/little sister type - like a student or any younger family member.

The Korean equivalent is "ee" to show friendship to an equal or fondness for someone younger. And "nim" is used at the end of a name to show respect to a teacher or boss. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the overwhelming praise, Robcardu! All our roman languages are easier to learn, but yeah, Japanese is so damn cool!
