Here they are!,'Final Four'!,Proud Bunches!

From 68 teams to 4 teams means each team has his own hot streak.
Games of last 2days were oddly enough all one sided games except
big upset by Wichita State over mighty OSU.

All three teams have been in final four and Championship previously
except Wichita State,who are 1st final four from Missouri Valley
Conference since Bird at Indiana State of Bird-Magic era.
At that time(1979) Magic from MSU beat Bird from ISU at Championship
game.

Each team got their wishes and this point on each win would be bonus
for them. Of course it would be nice to becomes champion!

Semi final games at Atlanta on Saturday,04-06-2013(CBS) as follows.
Louisville vs Wichita State at 609 pm.
Michigan vs Syracuse at 849 pm.

Final game will be on Monday,04-08-2013. Good luck to all 4 teams!  KJ

Go! Blue!

 

I couldn't believe the right tibia got broken when Louisville's Kevin Ware landed on his right foot
in a defensive blocking movement.
By the picture, it appeared that the mid (or lower) tibia got broken into two separate pieces.
Good thing was that the broken pieces stayed inside the skin.
It didn't seem to be a compound fracture.
(But in the latest report, "the bone poped out of his skin", according to Rick Pitino.)
Anyway, after the gruesome injury, the Louisville team got the composure back and won easily.
What a price to pay to get into the Final Four !!

Congratulations, Dr. Hwang and Dr. Kim!
They indeed played strong.
The OSU played poorly, missing all the good baskets
to lose, but not shamefully, 4 points deficient at the end
from double digit deficient. Oh, well, who promised?
Now, we are rooting on Dr. Hwang's Wolverines
and Dr. Kim's Louisville on Saturday.
Good Luck, Gentlemen!

I could not believe my eyes either what had happened to the player of Louisville!

Tears in the eyes of team mates and coach symbolized,what is the true meaning
of college game compaing to Pro game. Hope for the complete recovery!

I felt quite bad for OSU and I still could not believe!
However there is such a thing as 'Parity' in college teams especially the calibers of
teams as the level of Elite 8. Any team is capable to beat the other at any given day.
I was really glad  2 Big ten teams including OSU represented in the field of tough Elite 8.

Wish me a good luck for me! You don't have to do for our WM! because Louisville is
team to beat.ha,ha!   KJ
