... The sub-head on my column this morning about Billy Gillispie's team-building was a bit misleading.

But none of that, even being at Game Seven when the Lightning won the Cup, compares to when the Gators have won titles. That's what has made this year so hard.

Rolling the bracketologies and predictions up into one site
wkdzsports.typepad.com 3/10/2008 — There are dozens of internet sites predicting who makes the NCAA Tournament and the matchups. Now, here is a website that combines them all and spits out the results faster than Florida's bubble burst with their loss to Kentucky Sunday.
While plentiful, Kentucky's losses don't look so bad now
wkdzsports.typepad.com 3/11/2008 — Kentucky enters the SEC Tournament this week with a record of 18-11. Even with a first round loss, that should be enough to get into the NCAA Tournament.
